Sorry to hear that, sometimes I am afraid of parking too far...then it kinda sticks out and there are just way too many jealous people with nothing to loose. It is tough owning the S2000 because you constantly worry when it is out of sight. I bought it used, it came pre-dinged, so it is easier for me, I think I would be too paranoid if it was new, so in a way it is less stress.

I have to park far away to have at least a fighting chance of it

into my car.
Hey, if it was my own doing then it's my own dumb@$$ fault but
when someone else does it, despite trying to keep it nice and the
hours I put into it to keep it looking good, NOTHING ticks me off
more than the blatant lack of consideration for other people's things.
Sorry for ranting, this is just VERY frustrating!

Not exactly, my S2k is my nice weather daily driver, sharing time
with my motorcycle. The Accord is my warm but rainy weather/winter car.

I can sure sympathize too! Someone hit me in my own office parking lot Tuesday -- my office door is only 10 feet from the car and I truly thought I would know (hear) if there was a problem.
I have a car alarm on order now since evidently people just can not be trusted
I never thought I would need an alarm living in the freakin' boonies of Vermont but if that's what it takes to keep my baby safe - or least to catch the a-holes who hit me - then it's money well spent.
One of my co-workers reminded me to ask any offenderd for their car insurance information and NOT to just beat the crap out of them immediately, which was my first thought

If you're lucky enough to be able to identify the offender, then yeah
that's probably the best approach.
Actually, I would wait until the car was fixed and the bill was paid THEN
I'd beat them with whatever blunt instrument first presented itself!

have done when I did this? That is a hole in that front lip, could not be repaired.
Weekend in Lake George with Vintage Pals, hotel, gas, dinner $500?
Hanging out eating pizza in the rain with said Vintage pals. $20.00
Cost of "letting" your wife drive the S? A new front lip.
Enjoying the social life that came with the S2000 Priceless!
My +1 takes great pride in keeping this car clean, waxed and looking pretty, but things happen. We've had dents taken out three times already. We're on the second front lip, thanks to yours truly, and I think one of the wheels has a bit of "curb rash."
I hate to tell you guys, but it really is just a car. It can be fixed.
