How many times do you glance back after getting out of your TSX?

I know there's no excuse for this, so flame / lecture on...
This goes back a few years when I had my modded Integra. While looking for a 'safe' parking spot at a wedding reception, the circled the parking garage several times. I finally found a small "compact only" spot in the corner where I was able to angle my car in a manner where I would be a few feet from harms way. There weren't any cars parked in the area and the entire row was for compact-only cars.
When I got back, it wasn't surprising that the parking garage filled up. When I walked to my car, I found this big-ass SUV parked backwards about a few INCHES from my fragile integra. Two things got me pissed off: (1) He/She parked a Suburban in a compacts spot and (2) I happend to find a new crease in my door with the same exact contour as the Suburban door.
After discovering the damage to my car, I gave the big-ass SUV its own door ding. Although it wasn't the "mature" thing to do, I'm sure it didn't matter to the owner since he/she had a collection of dents and dings.
In a more recent incident, a received a huge door ding a few days after paying to have all of them removed (I can't win. ) while parked at my work. Seeing that it obviously matched the car with big-ass doors next to me, I placed my business card on their windshield with a non-accusing note written on the back asking for them to call me.
To my surprise, I found myself approached the next day by one of our IT help desk guys with an apology. He admitted fault and offered to pay for it. What a guy.
Two VERY different ways of handling abuse to our beloved rides.

everytime i get out of the TSX, i walk around the car twice inspecting every inch of it
i would also park near a window so i can keep an eye on it, i find myself lookin at it close to 5-6 times even if im gettin coffee or something
this is normal, right? or do i need help

Damn, didn't notice so many people actually rolled their windows down. That makes for a dirty interior and more work when needed to be cleaned.
Too much dust in my area to have windows down, therefore, they're always in the upright position.

BTW, the vast majority of them were collected at Wal Mart (they're my customers).
Demographics?

I usually looked back at least once. This is my first Acura and I still need to get used to the "A" logo on my keyfob
At the begining I have a reservation on the color (PWP). However, the more I look at it, the better the color is. At least it is not "just a white car"

after having a nice car like this I get to park at the farthest spots possible with all the other g35, audi, bmw. its pretty funny when all the piece of crap cars are all parked up close while every single nice car is at the very end. also never park next to a handicap spot because they will also not pay attention to their suroudings. I always see people just swing their door open not caring about anything but their crumpled legs.

I would have to say 2 or maybe 3 times if I wash it. It's just one of those things that you really have no explanations for it....I can't help looking at it after I get out!! =)
