How many times have scratched your car's bumper while driving in and out of parking lots?

Question

I scratch my car's (already scratchy) bumper yesterday. After that I began to notice other cars and even the very old ones had perfectly scratchless bumper. I bought my car in used condition which already had many scratches on its bumper. Yesterday I added one more to them as I failed to realize that distance between the car and the other object was a couple inches lesser than I had guessed

Answer 1

Never!!

Answer 2

Never !

Answer 3

Hey.

Some cars are hard to judge, especially when you back them into their spot. I rented a Dodge Magnum last year, and dont think I managed to back it into it's spot perfectly even once. I didn't rub anything though, because I was being too cautious! Maybe your car is one of those that's just hard to judge when it comes to parking.

Answer 4

None. You should move as slowly as possible to avoid them.

Answer 5

Depending on which parking lot. If it's my hyper spaceless workplace of minie, dozens of scratches can be found...

Answer 6

Never - try not to cut it too close.  If you are not absolutely sure, do not take the chance.

Answer 7

Never, I don't try to fit something in slot that I know wont fit.

Answer 8

It usually doesn't happen.  When you pull into a parking space, you can usually see what is in front and try to avoid bumping into something.  Backing into a space requires a bit more skill and attention to your surroundings.  In some places you could back up against a fence or wall if you're not careful.  Then there are shopping carts in parking lots...  All you can do is be careful.
