OK, if that was your Camaro parked there, you didn't do a very good job parking. Simple as that. You are crooked, and way to close to the drivers side line, especially in the rear. ALWAYS park to leave yourself enough room to open your door on the drivers side to only the line. I generally center myself, but smaller parking spots I will edge to the right a little, so drivers side has more room.

Simply put, the other guy parked fine, you didn't.

edit: thought it was a single line because of sideways pic...the other guy was slightly over the line, but the Camaro was in the rear too.

lol, you obviously didn't see the whole picture, scroll to the right. if you still don't see it then read the posts in this thread, i agree, the OP wasn't perfect in his parking, but the other guy is WAY over the line

Yeah, I just re-oriented myself to the sideways picture, lol...

Still, I would give myself more room than he gave himself, especially if that was double lines.

I have trouble keeping my back wheels inline in parking lots so I tend to try and park farther away cause I know I can't park it correctly yet luckily I haven't had anyone else park next to me yet. If you see a red SS in DFW and its parked crooked it's probably me just being a dumbA$$ and not knowing where my sexy curves are!

So, when you pulled in next to him... did you get out on the passenger side to take the pic?

Perhaps you should try to be on time so that you can park properly
I'm joking of course

oh my dear god! will u people who keep saying i parked crooked just STFU already... the whole point of the thread was that the guy was parked so horrible that he left no room for me to get into my car! NONE! stop dissecting the picture and move on already... im sure the guy to the right of me didnt take a picture of my car so jammed up against their driver side... saying "look at this prick" ... LOL


oh something i forgot to mention also.. as i was highly contemplating on ways to DING the ever living Sh*t out of their car... i noticed their doors were filled with hundreds of key marks, dings , scratches already... ha! the irony ?!

You still parked like a jerk. Just slightly less so than he did.

Uh, buddy.. You're the one that has the bad parking job. If you're gonna park crooked, be sure that you take up both spots.
