Parking, How anal are you about it? Options

[CelicaQT]

Just wondering how serious you take it when you park your car? Ex. I park in a parking structure everyday at work. 6:30a-3:30p M-F, I park my car in the exact same spot right on the 3rd floor next to a pillar, (backed in mind you, so I can just pull out and straight down the ramp). No one can park behind me, just to my left and right. Also, where this pillar is there's a speed bump. So I park it over my line on the passenger side as close as possible to the pillar.

Being that I work at GM and drive my foreign Celi everyday into work, I don't want to accumulate anymore door dings or scratches.

So, is it bad to park your car unleveled like that? Especially for that amount of time?

I used to not worry about it, but the other day I came out to my car after work and someone had put a hellacious ding in my driver door. It almost looked like they opened their door into mine, and then started to pull out with the door still open. Huge gash down the side of my car. Ever since then, I park way off in the corner. Doesn't help the fact that I still have this huge ding, now, but I am hoping that I won't get any more.

On that note... Anyone have experience (good or bad) with the paintless ding repair places? I have heard some say that the paint can peel up after a couple of years. I have a LOT of very old rock chips and the aforementioned ding in my door that go all the way through the paint, but there are a lot of the gentle door-dent things I would like to get repaired, but I am leery of the dentless thing. (sorry to hi-jack the thread)
