Anyone else afraid to park their car ANYWHERE other than their driveway?

as of now ive put 3 nice scratches in my car...all from my parking garage...its so damn tight in there!!! Each one worse than the preceding one...can you believe I scratched it the first time the day I bought it!!! I almost wanted to cry...arrrrgh!

Thats what I get for buying a caddy as not only my daily car, but my first car...oh well you live, you learn...its only a car...nothing a bit of body work can't fix...although I'll probably wait till the spring, just incase I make anymore bonehead moves b4 I'm totally experienced and comfortable with my whip...

just like ripping off a band-aid, might as well do it fast and right away

man my cts is cursed, last winter i lowered my car on eibachs but turns out i had load leveling shocks so my rear end wouldn't lower. i ordered new shocks but continued to drive it, should have known better with all the weight in the front and icey conditions id be slidding around. my traction control was always kicking in. well i spun out side ways one time and it launched me over the median with two on coming cars coming right at me, i had to floor it out of the way and into a snow bank, 4600.00 worth of damage and my shocks came in the next day. i get my new bumper put on beautifull new paint job and a week later someone backs into my front end in a parking lot.
last may i get my rear bumper repainted because of a rear end bump, who knows how i got that. with in two weeks someone backs into me in a parking lot.
over the summer i get a new vee bumper put on, within a month some on backs into me while parked on the street, another hit and run. i got all the paper work from my insurance and get a garage to order parts. before the parts even come in someone turns into me while driving, over 10,000 worth of damage, and my car is in the shop right now.
over this last year i have also noticed someone left their paint on my door, and two mysterious small dents have appeared on my car obviously from parking lots. while parked at work someone left the parking lot over a side walk and through the grass beside the road and spun mud at my car causing some small scratches in my clear coat. its never ending, i always have a supply of touch up paint and scratch remover.
but one day i might just snap, it will probably be on some old mini van driver who parks tooo close.
