Time for another parking thread!

I did good this time and as soon as I parked, this dude pulled next to me! I told him that he could park closer to me, that I didn't mind. I could tell that he was very protective of his car! He said that he always takes up 2 spots and he didn't want no dings. At least he was very far from the entrance.

What a knob head. Hate drivers that do that. Just park far away like I do. No door dings when I park in guam, 2 years running now.

Taking up two spaces draws in that certain type of person that messes with cars. I've seen it.

typical 'no ding' attitude parking like that will usually get you one(or more).

That just brings undue attention to you and pisses people off. I could see some beater car trying to park in that other half of space and dinging the Camaro just for spite.

I see two Camaro drivers being respectful of each other's cars. Good work!

Yeah, I've never done the 2 space parking thing. It's just begging to have somebody mess with your car. I just park as far out as possible.

I've seen people with nice cars take up 2 spaces like that and other people decide the extra room is perfect for them to leave about 15 shopping carts. I always drop the wife off at the door and park way, way, way back. Usually so far back the wife already has the shopping done by the time I get to the door.

I find an end spot and get as close to curb as possible... Take up two spaces and trouble will find you!

You always have the one douche that will park right next to you if you park far away. And yes someone that takes up two spots like that is begging for a ding and scratch or possibly worse.
