After 20 years here, I've seen a lot of wierdness as well--including
an old guy with a "stuck accelerator" that trashed about 6 cars and an
out of control bus that totaled 7 or 8. The trick is to use the
individual spaces where braile parkers can't get to you.

To answer my own question... Take a look at

www.bumperpad.com

You could probably contruct something like this fairly cheap on your
own but I'll probably toss them a few bucks for thinking of it first.
