Nothing worse than that. I got a massive door ding the first month after I got my Genesis when I was parked at the back of a parking lot all alone.
That d-bag was worse than Hitler.

I agree with any car owner who has a source of pride in their vehicle to do the best they can to avoid crowds if they want to try and avoid "dings", makes total sense.
LOL to the part about "un-written" rule to keep your distance when you see a "nice" car parked far away. I'm sure many folks take pride in their vehicles and would like to drive a car with no dings or not have to spend money on getting those dings fixed, what difference does it make if its a Luxury vehicle or a Honda Civic? The Civic driver may have just as much pride in their car as BMW owner, and actually might have less means to fix their vehicle than the BMW owner (although not necessarily).
Bottom line is, makes no difference what you drive, you have to accept the risks when you drive out, and assuming you have more desire to avoid dings than the next guy because your car is "nicer" is ridiculous, and expecting others to "accept", "know" or obey some "un-written rule" about giving luxury cars space is hilarious. If you can't afford to "fix" your luxury vehicle if it gets dinged in a parking lot, the same way those that don't drive luxury vehicles also have to do when they get dinged, then either don't drive your car to the parking lot, or maybe don't buy a luxury vehicle if you can't afford to maintain it and assume the risks that come along with driving.
Otherwise, just deal with it and stop expecting the rest of the world to give more of sh#t about your car than others because YOU think it's nicer, nobody wants their car to get dinged regardless of what type of car it is.
