Respect at Wal-mart... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

INTIMIDAT3R · 03-20-2012, 09:59 AM

I've read hundreds of posts about vandals and haters attacking Camaro's when going to the store, out to eat, movies, etc.

I stopped by Wal-Mart on the way home this morning and came out to find a Charger SXT parked respectfully one spot away from my Camaro.

Nothing protects a Camaro more than not being a "Richard Cranium" behind the wheel. Give respect and respect will be given back.

I would respectfully disagree. There will always be some one who will park right next to you too close. It has, more often than not nothing to do with how you were driving before you entered the parking lot. Then there are just nasty people out there will for no apparent reason vandalize somebodys property.

Yes, if you don't drive like a jerk, others will respect that, but the truth of it is there are too many people out there that don't care and like to do damage.

He probably just thought you would door ding him if he parked right next to you.

Lol I don't see it that way....

Oxymoron: Respect at Walmart

anythingfast · 03-20-2012, 11:46 AM

you'd like to think if you give respect, you get respect. unfortunately it's not always the way

Same thing has happened to me at kema boardwalk. But at stores I always park in bfe and usually always someone parks close to me and half da time its a rust bucket.

I don't think there is any winning the parking lot battle...True, we are conscientious and respectful...but just remember, when you put yourself out there, you are dealing with the general public...and the last thing on most people's mind is being concerned about someone else's car.

I park wayyyyyyy away from the front. And if I come out and someone is parked next to me, I will wait for them, and words will be exchanged.

This looks like it should rank up there somewhere as some of the silliest strategies I've ever read. Someone simply parks next to you, so you'll wait for them and exchange words...please tell me that's a joke. What if they're away for hours? You still going to wait? Or are you going to circle the parking lot waiting for them to come back. Either way that's a huge waste of time, and you might even get your ass kicked over it. Not worth it.

1) NEVER EVER drive any car you want to keep nice to Wally World. EVER.

2) If you get mad at someone for parking next to you, sign up for anger management classes now! You're going to find you'll be pissed off for many years if that's the case so you're going to have to live with yourself. Might as well relieve some stress.

As frustrating as it is when someone parks SO close to you, I wouldn't waste my time waiting for them. However I did order some cards online that I leave in my car for those certain moments that something has to be said.

I bought the cards here: http://www.houseofgrafix.net/You-Suc...-products.html
Pretty cheap too!

I swear...some of you people act like you're driving some exotic car and everyone is out to get you because they're jealous. IT'S A MASS-PRODUCED CAMARO. Sure, take care of it...I wash mine weekly, park away from other cars, etc., but please get over yourselves.

Also to the OP...so you saw some POS Charger parked a spot away and decided that he was giving your car respect? LOL ok...I guess the Taurus was too right? heh

I do the same thing. The Wal-Mart I go to has a spot way out away from the store where I park

and usually no one parks out there, but if someone parks next to me and I have a ding on my Camaro I won't wait I'll just leave a nice reminder I was there.
