I'm very picky where I'll park (I don't even have one, yet!!!)...
- One of the four spots around a lamp post.
- One of the two spots adjacent to a barrier or island
- In between two very well maintained cars
- In between two brand new cars
- Alone in an area, with no one around me
- The very farthest spot I can find from the store entrance without being abnoxiously far away
- NEVER in between two trucks
- NEVER next to a pos
- NEVER next to a very old car (not counting classics
- NEVER next to an "old people's car"...like Crown Vics, or Buick LeSabres, or 80s Caddys
- NEVER double or quadruple park
The spot can be one or all of those things...but that's the guide I've come up with.
It sounds stupid...but every one of those criteria has a reason behind it. And I have yet to get a single ding in three years!! *knocks on wood* Granted, my car doesn't exactly draw attention....
