I'm sure its not just me that suffers from this, but how do all of you guys cope with the stress and anxiety of potential damage caused by the brain dead, " its only a van mate " brigade as they fling their car door against the side of you pride and joy because you cant find an end spot or cheeky singe spot somewhere.

I get really stressed when it comes to parking as soooo many people just don't give a t0ss about other peoples vehicle's.

Any tips you guys might have to help me deal with this would be greatly received !!.

I ended up selling my 18 month old T6 recently, mostly because of what you're saying.
I got sick and fed up of picking up dings, scratches and full on dents, I used to spend all day at work worrying about where I'd left it. I spent £500 getting it all sorted out before I sold it, it looked lovely! Just didn't seem worth doing while I had it, maybe it was just an unlucky van for me that attracted mindless muppets. Hopefully the new owner will have more luck than I did.

Now I've got a 5 year old Sprinter with 147000 miles on the clock and every panel has dents and is a different shade to the one next to it, I love it!
I can park it wherever I like and don't give a hoot!
