Neither are important to me. I usually park fairly far away, usually away from other cars, not because I’m worried about dings, but because I like to walk and don’t mind it even on the hottest days.

My priority when going places is to get in and get out, so I can get back to where I want to be. And most of those places don’t really have parking lots.

BTW, do you guys not park in your driveway for the exercise, too?
