Funny...my wife has a silver Regal GS like the one on the right and I've got the Torch Red C5 (just not a FRC) like the one on the left.
At least the brown car has good company!

I think I would either:
A) find a new job, or
B) get real friendly with the owner, take them for lunch, etc, and make sure they know who you are, and that you do consider door dings as a capital offence.

I think we've established that, he backs in and I pull in so we can avoid dings. The pictures look like more space between the cars than there really is.

Let us hope that decay is not contagious.
That includes the building.

The parking spaces look wide enough to accomodate door swing, and the other guy parks backwards so that his door is not opening next to your car. I don't see an issue.

I would be a little annoyed to have that Vette next to me. Surely, those two big red doors would leave red paint on my car at some point.

I'd find a fellow employee (preferably someone who likes you), who has an end spot, and slip them a couple bucks to switch spots with you! I hope the SS Nova person is a friend.

At least the driver of the brown car has an American muscle car. An SS.

I don't think the guy with the SS box Nova will mind, but why don't you ask him...if your car is a concern to him,...just give him the courtesy of leaving him some room

The funny thing is, is the guy who owns this SS is probably just as proud of that car as we are ours.
I for one would LOVE to have that car. Even with the way it looks.

well on a good note he backs into the space so as long as he does not have a passenger you have no worries.
BTW - I wonder if those are current oil stains under the SS...
