Rent-a-cop comes up and says you cant park here oo da da.......so i go back to the parking lot and just watch the car like a hawk for the rest of the time but jeez what a day idk how you guys can actually leave it out there with out worries??

Soon as you saw her start parking next to you, you should moved your car.

Not anyone... Just old women or women with lots of children in their car.

To everyone who parks around you, it's just another car... nobody's gonna tiptoe around it or go out of their way to be careful just because it's a sexy f****** beast. Sucks, but that's how it is. Park in the nosebleeds!

If you're going to stay in your car waiting, park far out and take 2 spots diagonally... People won't mess with you if you're in your car. Also get a concealed permit so if someone does try to mess with you, you can light them up.

best advice ever. somebody starts giving you trouble about parking poorly. Shoot them. lol. yeah. let me know how that works out for you.


but in reply to the OP. yesterday a crappy beaten down minivan that looked like a rental/carpool van parked next to me. I moved as soon as I saw it. Luckily there were no dents. I park away from other cars when I go to work. Sometimes people like to park next to me for some reason....

Seriously! when the carry and conceal goes through here in illinois I'll just make sure to carry around the Colt .45 semi X-clip. If a middle aged woman in a van parks next to me, Ill just shoot first and ask questions later. Sounds like a plan.

People always park by me too. I don't get it. Im not a jerk, I only use 1 spot. Dont park ridiculously far away, just a few spots over, every day. no mater where i am, always another car next to me, if not on both sides. Like people.... cmon. Im out there for a purpose.

Just park in the back. And don't take up 2 spots, that just asks for vandalism.

My advice, avoid the entire senario, leave your car at home and just have mom drive her beater mini van next time.
