thats the whole thing behind this...not everyone can afford to constantly fix dents, dings, scrapes, scratches, key marks, etc. that is why it irritates us that people are so inconsiderate

Just park your car normal, its just a piece of metal. Being paranoid about it will just drive you crazy. Fix it if it gets dented or scratched lol.

If you aren't sober or mentally stable, should you be driving in the first place on public roads?

It takes quite a bit of force to ding a car. I think if people were just more careful, we wouldn't have a problem.

10 years ago I restored a Triumph, used it as my daily driver for nine years. Always parked it miles away.

It was while fixing stone or door chip number 50, about 3 years ago I thought, "what the hell" & gave up parking miles away to protect the thing.

I did not get damage any more often since I stopped all that rubbish, & parked it like a normal car.

Then a few months back I got my near pristine S2k, & I PARK IT MILES AWAY.
