Instead of looking for empty spots far away, look for other nice sporty cars, these people are concious of the damage the doors do and won't risk chipping the paint off of their own door's edges.
I do this all the time and frequently find the other driver hanging around to bull **** with you about cars. They like to show off their own wheels to anyone who will listen. I like to find the spots next to the handicap spots, there is always a painted buffer that I can put my wheels on the painted stripe to allow a lot of space on the right side so that another car can open the door all the way and not hit mine. And there is more than enough space for the people who need it on the left.
My 98 has been on the road more than 20 years now, and has quite a few nicks that I have touched up. Some polishing with a buffer makes them almost invisible from any distance. I wish the paint was perfect, but you can't drive it and not get battle scars.

I never take up two places, always try to be courteous to others when parking, never pinch anyone in. I will avoid the minivan scrum if at all possible. Today I finished a little work on the car and decided to make a run to the store, parking out of the way of all the SUVs, minivans and shopping carts. When I came out, this.
I just lean in and wink at em, they usually move
