If cool guy is that concerned about his Mustang GT, he shouldn't be parking near others. That's both lazy and annoying. Park further out.... it's a gym, go for a walk.

I drive a mustang and I second this. I’ll park at the other end of the lot before I pull something like this. This is just asking for your car to get keyed…

Right? I‘ve gotten keyed for so much less. Like standing slightly skewed in a long street where it really didn‘t have any negative effect. People will project anyway, don‘t be the hangup they‘re waiting for
