The parking lot

I was never in the habit before, but I am now.

This truck owner says he hates door dings too.
Best part is, he doesn't bother parking in the back.

Now I kind of regret not doing this as well, but I did not even know about it at the time of purchase.

Too late now as it already has a few small chips after a year ans a half of ownership from new.
I guess that grand will have to go towards a full re-paint in the future, once the car is paid off, IF it bothers me that much.

Hey, Bro! It's never too late! A lot of installers will fix the paint chips and clay bar the paint before application; will look better than new!

^^^This is very true. It is amazing what a skilled detailer can do. If you plan to keep the car and you care about the chips, take care of it now.

I always try and park near an end spot and I get as close to the curb as possible. And I always try and park near a car that isnt a piece of junk. One of the great things about having a small car is that it has lots of space on both sides when in a parking spot.

Same here, and my factory wheels have the scars to prove it!

At the college I go to everyone with nicer "sports" cars parks why out at the end. Nothing too fancy. Mostly modded frs/brz's, an old 240, wrx, camaros, mustangs, and the occasional corvette. My car is new and I don't want anyone to ding it so I park out there too, but I wonder, does the FiST fit in with those other "sports cars"? I personally think it does. We can hang with brz's all day, but sometimes when I'm parking it feels a little "me too" since I'm a fwd hot hatch. I think the st is respected in the car community but maybe I'm wrong? I love it. Auto journalists love it. You guys love it! It's not a sports car though. It's more of a "performance vehicle" or "enthusiast vehicle". What do you guys think?

It’s not, but that’ll change with time

Looks best when your wheels are black.
