Thats usually what I do now.. or position my mirror towards that curb.tongue.gif

I have one of thse little dings that you speak of. All those sexy Tiburon curves, then DING!

But if my rims get scrapped up enough I'm planning on selling them. I'm looking forward to getting maybe some carbon fiber rims somewhere?

I like the though of Carbon fiber rims, but it seems like that they would be so tempting to steal. Even in Arkansas, People steal Rims... sad.gif

well, that works when you are allowed to park that way. Most places around here will give you a ticket for parking the wrong way on a street. Car has to remain pointing with the direction of traffic.. so usually it is the passengerside of the car against the kerb.

I park away from all the cars and I still get dings every other day. I swear there's 20 or so teeny dings in my car from workign there over the past year. My car's in the shop now getting bodywork done and painted and when I start driving her to work after she's painted I'm gonna set up a fence or something around my car when I'm working for extra protection. ..or somethin, I dunno. Maybe I'll just park across the street. Shopping Cart dings suck, because there's nothing you can do for revenge! It cold have been anyone, and it's such a snall petty ding that people look at you weird when you freak out about them. I'm not crazy goddamit!

HA!!!

at my store we have a totally seperate "employee" parking lot, up a slight hill from the rest of the parking lot. its great.

 

Its impossible not to scrape and scratch your rims... My rims a kinda scratched but not bad. I dont know how they got that way either.

 

^^^ I agree with you. I have never hit or rashed my rims with a curb but regular road rash seems to hit them pretty freakin bad.....
