i'm paranoid about parking it anywhere in fear of it getting dinged by other cars flinging thier doors open .... is this gonna pass?

What do you guys do?

I just park it next to another expensive car.

I've made it 8 years now!

Mr. ragTTop!

unless it's another TT!
even then you need a **** load of room to open the doors! hahaha

park at the end of a row and then you only have to worry about one side

at least that's what my wife says I do with all my cars - probably why they have virtually no door dings.

try parking next to an expensive car, so both of u wouldn't ding each other

Watch the wind direction and make sure the cars next to you are parked with nose pointing to the wind.

Many times, dings happen when door is caught by strong wind and caused it to swing wide. I was ding free for 3 years with my last Saab without parking at the far corner of the lot.

Of course, its hard to avoid those ignorants who just don't care.

There's no point worrying about it, because that's not going to stop it happening: the mini van rule still applies. However far from where you need to be you park, and however far you are from any other vehicle a mini van full of kids will part as close to you as it can. In a parking garage regardless of where you park someone in a Toyota Highlander will park 3" from your mirror.

The car can always be fixed but you can regain days that you should have enjoyed driving but spent them worrying instead...

Let's face it, someone could steal it tomorrow, so live for today and don't worry about it.
