The cure to tight parking spots

No matter what you think about Lambo doors, they do appear to have a purpose

I haven't any problems understanding that you can always avoid low ceiling height indoor parking garages....but in all likelihood you can't always avoid having to park besides someone or have them park beside you. Nice addition........

Um... OP, the point of parking with enough space between the cars is so the OTHER CARS don't hit yours. I doubt those trucks have those goofy doors so I hope you inspected for dings on your car when you got back.

Wasn't my car. It was at a gathering of our Tampa Bay Camaros Club last night.

Pic1 - gettting started
Pic2 - And the winner is
Pic3 - I have my own cure for tight spots and no issue with parking garage. Just hop in or out! No doors needed.
p.s. The op picture is a vert also.

What happens when the passenger in the pickup opens their door? I guess the lambos keep you from dinging all those gr8 old pickups.

Still trying to figure out the logical connection between having room to get out of your ride in tight quarters ( Lambo doors intent) and some sorry careless noob parked next to you dent your car doors, fenders or quarters.

This site is for all camaros, not just the ones some close minded judgmental fools think look good. Haters gotta hate but...this is still a camaro forum for people who are interested in camaros.."ALL CAMAROs".we can do without all the lame criticism. I can't imagine walking up to some guy or girl at a meet and telling him or her their car looks stupid. I mean, you would look like a dick head. Same rules apply here.

Yup.. the girls in pic 3 picked it. Maybe they would have picked mine if had let them drive it, not just sit in it.
