I am actually a fan of parking in congested areas (not much else around DC). I will sit and drink a coffee while watcjing people gawk at the VX, and also, checking them out as they pull into tight areas near me. I noticed, at least 90% of the cars on the road.... when they open their doors next to you and they actually make contact with the VX, they hit the cladding anyways. BRILLIANT DESIGN!

Works for me, and luckily, after 5 years of having a VX.... not a single ding.
