:mad2: Why is it no matter how far you park the ass end of your car away from the white light some idiot has to tap your back bumper when they park behind you? These are regular parking stalls, no parallel parking.

This seems to be happening at my work and I don't have many options where to park. At least I alway get an end stop. Suppose I could go nose end, but then they'd just push the license plate support into the bumber (is that better?).

Maybe I need to put a big piece of foam on the bumper when it's out in the lot.

I work at Ford and park mine in the huge lot everyday. Never had a problem. If I were you I'd be checking my car before I left it and when I got back. If there was a problem I'd be talking to the guy that owns the car behind me.

Good idea.

I work at Boeing. Is that new guy Alan Mulally parking out in your lot yet? Watch your bumper:D .

Setup a camera to catch them and then have a word with them.

Buy a traffic cone at Home depot and set it behind your car after you park like the phone company trucks.

This is what is used in NYC parking lots on the nice cars:

I got a nice bolt size hole in my bumper from a front tag that was pressed up against it. Was not a happy camper when I saw that.

I had a gal park a small white car nose to nose with my Marauder while I was in Office Depot.
When I came out I noticed the car was awfully close....both the bumpers were flattened together...:eek:
I quess she's blind (drives by the braille method)...:rolleyes:
Anyway when I backed up and examined my bumper...no damage not even a smudge...
Lot's of unconscious folks out there...:D
