How often do you find a spot in NYC with enough space in the front and back? Even if you do, some idiot is still going to hit you because they can't park.

I'm just curious. How much would it cost if I hire a monkey to guard my car with a bat? Maybe I can pay the monkey with bananas?

It doesn't matter if the cars in the front and back are nice or expensive. Once I saw a RX330 hit a ES330. The RX was pulling in the front of the car but didn't have enough room so it scraped the corner of the rear bumper of the ES.

The parking feature is availabe in the Prius sold in Japan. If you have this parking feature and other people don't, your car will still get bumped. A few more years and maybe all new cars will have it standard.
