==================================

I've got a dingless 92 as well.  I also tend to park away from other
cars, preferably leaving only one side "exposed", ie tight against a
curb (watch out for wheel rash), tight against a light pole fixture,
but always with only one side exposed, and usually I leave enough
space on the exposed side that someone would have to actually park IN
my space to be able to ding me.  The goal is to not be so obvious with
your protection.  People see you taking up two spaces, parked
crossways or diagonally, and probably think "Look at him, he think's
he's "ALL THAT", and someone will come and park next to you to irk
you.  So my advice, be cautious, but not obvious.
