Might as well bring your tools to "work" and start replacing your carpeting.

FWIW, the couple times a year I take the vette to the office, I try to find a parking spot at the right hand end of the lot. Chances are whoever parks next to you will be a sole passenger; keeps the risk of door dings down a bit.

Having said that, someone in a ginormous pickup (this is Texas after all) always seems to back into the space to my left. So far the folks in my office building have been careful and considerate.
