If I cant park far away Ill take 2. I give two sh!ts what people think. Last august I did this and yeah I had 2 people purposely park real close so I couldnt get in. Called my buddy with his tow truck and moved the shit car that blocked me in.

Yeah caused an issue with mall security but I didnt care.

I usually try to park way out in BFE in a defensive posture (hugging a curb etc.)

Funny story: Saw a Porsche 911 Turbo once that was parked diagonally in 4 spots at a movie theater.
Somebody had moved some of those concrete parking bumpers to block it in, front and back. (almost touching the car)
I almost wet myself laughing.

One. Really far away, I don't mind the longer walk.

MikeC5 · 02-01-2012, 01:09 PM

One spot for me. I try and look for an end spot and either pull in or back in so I can open the driver’s door all the way. If I can't find an end spot I am just super careful when getting in & out.

My record is 14 but that was with a Kenworth pulling a huge oversize load.

with the car any more than 1 is asking for trouble.

I prefer not to park like a douchebag, so I take one spot. Always.

Synyster · 02-01-2012, 06:52 PM

I absolutely hate when people take up more than one spot. The only exception would be if they're parked a mile away. Any closer and bad things will happen.

Case in point: I was riding with my buddy in his new LMM Duramax and we went to a movie. Outside, literally in the front of the parking lot, was a doucher BMW parked diagonally in three spots. My friend sparks the idea to drag the sucker to the other end of the parking lot. So we hook up some towing straps on the BMW's axle and pull him with the Duramax to another location. He then parks right where the BMW was. (For Tallahassee people, the guy was right out in front of AMC and he ended up in the back of the elevated parking area.)

No idea what came of that, but it was fun.
