I'm a Drive&Enjoy kinda guy rather than work hard at keeping it immaculate, but there's no sense in not taking care to MINIMISE the risks of dinging.... Unless, of course, a hot babe like Myleene Klass is involved. She's free to do anything she likes to me... I think!
The one and only time I've ever kerbed an alloy was when parking outside a Chinese takeaway when the gorgeous 28yo in my passenger seat suggested staying at my place overnight. As that awful crunching sound happened she said: "What was that noise!?" and I replied "Oh, nothing to worry about" *cough*. I'd only had the GTI a few weeks.
