I have a newish mustang that I like to keep looking nice.  Part of that is protecting it from getting dinged in parking lots, so I regularly park at least five spots away from the nearest car in big parking lots. Pisses me off when some jackass feels the need to park six inches from me.  I always park inside the lines, so it's not like I'm taking up more than my space.    At least parking this far out keeps the fatties away.  In my area, that means I usually do not have to deal with people parking right next to me.
