All you do is attract more attention which will make it more likely that something happens to your car.

1. Maybe to him it is like a lambo, ferrari or whatever you say it is ok for them but not him DOUBLE STANDARD.

2. It is ok for you to do what you hate other people doing as long as it is for something you want to do. View your own Photo 4 spaces you say for pictures or something it is ok. Something could be anything. To him it is protecting his car the way he wants

if his car gets damaged due to his parking that falls on him.

But again a

picture turns to a flame fest over parking.

Just my Opinion

I would NEVER do that stuff, but I do get very irratated when i see it.

An occasional on the line, or slightly crooked isn't that bad... but the obvious two spots for one car is annoying as hell.

I personally would never do it, because I know there are plenty of people out there who will go out of their way to mess with your car for thinking you are above the rules that everyone else follows.

Not to mention the term "nice car" is subjective. Some kids think their brand new Honda Civic with a fresh coat of wax, looking as shiney and spotless as can be, is special.. And they may feel parking in two spots is acceptable.

I know my buddy thought so with his Mini Cooper

Imagine if everyone with a car they cared about, parked like that?

Agreed with a lot of what you said up till there. Any "kid" who was lucky enough to get a brand spanking new car, no matter wtf brand, or type of car it is better treat it like it is something special. Otherwise

I'm a car guy and have always taken care of my cars, whenever I get home the first thing I do is clean my frt end ( bugs ) and windows ( bugs ) sometimes I think I go overboard but that is just the way I am with my cars. You can park with the passagers frt side just inside the right line and the drivers rear just inside the left line without taking up more then one spot and lessen your chances of getting a ding because you are parked on a angle, alot easier these days because most spots are larger then years a go. :flag2:

As for this thought, i would hate to say it, but I park out back too. I put my car perfectly between the lines everytime, and 90% of the time I park by a median or island. Problem with that being is shopping carts. When i parked at the back of the parking lot it left me open for a good shot. Wind caught ahold of a shopping cart and with nothing in the area to stop it, it rammed into the side of my car leaving a shockingly large dent in the door. (I know this because I watched it happen as soon as I walked out of the door of the store I was in. My car was too far away for me to sprint in and stop it, but I did save it from hitting a BMW FWIW.)

I thought parking in back was the be all end all solution as well. I was wrong. BTW, It dented what most of you guys would call a beater car, but I still don't like to see any of my cars get damaged. No matter how old it is. A car is a car, but my car is "MY" car and I will take car of it no matter how crappy it is. <<Random thought. Sorry

Not enough though...as soon as I sat down inside and looked outside someone was pulling up right into that spot.

yeah I noticed that as well-- that appeared to be more of a horrible parking job, than on purpose.
Which probably one of the most dangerous types.. Right on the line.. Giving the guy looking for a spot the illusion of spot available, and thus making your car much more prone to accidental damage.

Steve Dallas · 05-04-2010, 12:23 AM

Look at it this way.

If you part taking two spots, you give someone a chance to dislike you for doing so, thus you're more likely to get keyed/damaged by someone who thinks you're an idiot when you park.

I park in spots that are protected on one side by a curb, and park as close to the curb as possible.

Here's an example...I'm not taking up two spots, and I have plenty of room on my drivers side to get out. In this case I wasn't worried because I knew what was going to park next to me...but it's a habit now.

I park out in the boonies and someone with a early 90s civic parked next to me, with like 40 open spaces around me. Bastard dinged my drivers side door. I wanted to kick his rusted door in, but i didnt want to have to go to the hospital for shots afterwards. I left him a strongly worded letter filled with expletives.

When ever I get the chance that is what I do. If you notice in my pictures that is where I am parked. " No parking on the drivers side "
