Or is it because you park like you do in your sig all the time?

I don't worry about it as a car isn't worth worrying about. I am not happy if it happens but its just a car and can be fixed. Your main problem is parking way out in the middle of nowhere. That always draws more unwanted attention then if you were to just park between cars.

Lotus is composite, but very thin composite at that. I'd worry on a crack.

I hate door dings with a passion. Im completely paranoid about getting new ones, and thankfully my wife is very understanding. We always park far and next to curbs if possible.
