Porsche Parking Problems

I heard most valve stems are made of rubber and cut easy with a sharp knife.

the mistake you may be making is that there's malice in their choosing that space or parking like they did. That's a narcissistic view of the circumstances for sure. My wife drives the same SUV and parks like that when nobody is around. You never know.

It's not something just limited to Porsches. Used to happen constantly with my old M3. I think people just wanna look at the car, that or know you are likely going to be careful with your car and don't want anything to happen to theirs.

I have to call you out here. There's some n00bness on your end too. I see plenty of room in the back to the left. Always park farthest away from the entrance regardless of whether there are empty parts of the parking lot closer to the entrance. Two benefits of that practice: ding-free car and a tee-wee bit of exercise.
Funny how he's not one bit concerned about being dinged by a Porsche. LOL.

Actually, my theory is this is exactly why this happens. There is no safer place to park your car than next to a nice Porsche (or similar). Doing so basically assures you that you won't get a door ding. It is the only reasonable cause for this kind of thing to happen so frequently to so many of us.

I would never suggest anyone intentionally damage someone else's car. In this day of video surveillance you could be gambling with a vandalism criminal charge. Not worth it.

I tend not to leave my car with valet, because I always picture Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I guess I've learned after leaving my car with my local dealership and coming back to a huge scratch running all the way down the passenger side door that my car will never be safe.

Odd that this comes up. I have noticed this before but it happened to me just last night at the grocery store. I parked at the very back and the lot was only half full. Came out twenty minutes later and there's a mini-van parked right next to me.
We were like a lonely island in the middle of a sea of concrete. There was no way that lady would have parked there if my car had not been there first.
And I have no idea why she parked there, although the sheep comment earlier seems to ring true. And it's never nice cars, it's always total POS sleds and they're always close enough to be inside the door's radius of death. They rarely ding me, but the fact that they're there and so carelessly parked always irks me.
