parking far far away

Yesterday it was sunny and 80 so I put the top down and took a 150 mile cruise with the wife and kid. We took mostly back roads that took you to bigger towns. As I was driving past stores,restruants,ect. I would see camaros around 12 all parked way in the back of parking lots across my journey. I love it to see how camaro owners love and take care of there cars makes me proud to be a camaro owner

I park mine as far as I can. Seems IQ's lower the closer you are to the entrance. Just my $0.02. (No offense to the disabled intended)

Got to, man!!! I've learned that you can't park next to the 'knuckle dragging, gap toothed, inbred, hick, hayseed, Beverly hillbillies' Jethro-mobile and expect to keep your car nice. No offense to the 'knuckle dragging, gap toothed, inbred, hick, hayseed, Beverly hillbillies' Jethro-mobile. Here's the thing, some people have no self-respect, they don't care about their shit, why should they care about your shit? It's not their fault they just were not raised right. It's the parents fault, there is such a thing as 'BAD PARENTING'. My opinion, just saying...

I do this all the time. I park in the back and walk, but I've ALWAYS done that. I like to walk, i like exercise. I don't feel the need to be a typical wal-mart shopper who drives around 13 times and than waits for 5 minutes for someone to back out so they don't have to walk an extra 45 feet.

Too true, probably try to fit a GMC Yukon in that hole. Those Camaros are too close!

I hear you on parking away...However, it seems no matter how far away you park and how many spaces are open around you some idiot always has to park right next to you even though you have 15+ spaces on both sides with no cars.

this topic never goes away, I park as far away as possible also, went to the DMV today, there just isn't a big enough parking lot for that place...LOL. parked on the last spot with a triangle to one side and hugging it tight to give me plenty of room on the passenger side so hopefully no one would park close. come out an hour later and I have a Rice banger parked a foot from the drivers door in a spot where parking isn't permitted but luckily the person parked on the other side gave me a nice cushion. slide in the passenger side, which would be comical if everyone knew how big I am but I made it some how LOL

This behavior will never cease to amaze me. And yet it seems like 95 percent of people do it. Lazy idiots.

I park far away from the store to avoid anyone from parking near me! I have 2 dents on my car thanks to idiots! You know what's really annoying?! When you park far away and there's tons of spots and you come out to see someone parked next to you.

Yup and if that fails then one will rear end you. Just like a lady did this Sunday. No matter what you do you're always surrounded by careless people.
