And to the thread topic - I'm getting over my paranoia slowly (11months so far, only walk out to check it about once a week now) - helps that a buddy only had his car 3 days before it's first major ding (9" crease, not a little divot). I console myself that I've already gone farther w/o one than many, so if it happens I won't feel so wronged. And especially at work, I try to park back-in, so I'm passenger door-to passenger door and leave less space than on the drivers side - few people have passengers for our workplace, so I figure it gives me more room.
It's a new neon orange Challenger.

Chrysler was my second (real) guess, so at least I'm not too far off. Wonder how many people are messing with his cover just to get a peek - sort of defeats the purpose (but the cones are a nice touch).

They are regularly hand washed and detailed. The interiors get the full treatment every 3 months, I don't think I've ever eaten inside any of my cars...
Agree with searching for the perfect spot. I go out of my way to find the end spot, preferably one with zebra stripes next to it so I can have more room. I will park far from the crowd and walk to the end of the lot.

I disagree with taking two spots. That just says screw with my car.

Dings will happen. I actually went three years without a mark on my '13, two days before lease return I got whacked.
