This was a topic of good discussion on my home board - 67 posts - therefore for your enjoyment I offer it to the group!!!

Yesterday , after tucking the Porsche away in a great spot at the grocery store (double wide , angled ) my daughter and I walked down the street to the local CVS to pick up this years supply of candy for the local ghouls and goblins. While crossing at a major intersection I noticed a white 356 speedster stopped at the light across from us . We then went shopping and when we came out , to my horror , I noted the little white speedster, was parked in the narrow spots in a strip mall of the hardware/bakery/cleaners/deli etc. The average parking time in this spot is about 10-15 minutes and our family Benz has been violated there on more than one occassion(even with me sitting in it). I watched in horror as the cars around the speedster came in and out , with kids and seniors in cars and trucks swinging the doors far and wide, only missing the 356 by millimeters. I considered standing in front of the car until the owner came back. It looked pretty darn original, so it was particulary galling to witness this abandonment of a hallowed classic.
Any way to the question : Any good parking ideas out there to keep our cars protected from the rank and file no clue, average SUV/ luxury import owner/non enthusiast, best friends of a body shop, door dinging ,bumper scratching , mentally challenged drivers. I have seen these magnetic strips for when you dont have a choice, any experience with These devices? Any creative ideas for protection outside of all the normal things,like corner spots , far away spots etc.
Also if anyone knows this speedster owner in the Bethesda area , lets help him out or buy him out!!!!!!
