I ALWAYS park my dak at the end of the lot. This is something my wife is
used to and admires. She knows we have a nice truck and wants to keep it
looking that way. As long as I get out and open the door for her, she is
happy. And, I don't have to worry about the random door being opened into
the side of the truck.
