Anyway, I'm toying with the idea of doing something like sewing a casing
into each side
of my car cover that i could slide a hunk of rubber in to help prevent the
dings.  Kind of
like one of those rubber strips they put on a lot of cars.  The cover is a
cheapo
Kragen version, so it's a bit big, and it would be very easy to put the
casing in.
Don't know if I could get some kind of rubber strips that I could roll up
and keep in
the trunk.

I  too am in the same situation at work. Fortunately the spaces are fairly
wide compared to the car so I haven't been hit yet...but I know it's
coming!

I recall in the Miata Magazine a while ago a product called "Ding Things".
They were supposedly  rolls of padded magnetized bumper-like material that
you were suppose to cut to the desired length and then just stick them on
the sides of your car when desired. They  were described as flexible and
would just roll up in the trunk.

I remember trying to call them and getting no answer.

If you (or anyone on the list) has any knowledge of the company (are they
still in business?) or any similar product I'd be the second person (after
Carla) who'd be interested!
