There were literally 150 or spots open. I parked as far form the building as possible (Sears) to run in real quick. I came out and there 2 people near me. One asshole parked right next to me. ALWAYS happens and I just don't understand it..

Just because you own a camaro doesn't mean your entitle to have people not park next to you. I know it sucks to have to worry about it ,but once you get over it you'll have a lot more fun with it.

I get this all the freaking time. I think ppl just want to check out the car. I parked in a spot that literally only had one spot next to it with grass on either side and of course someone parked next to me. I watched them do it and I watched them rubber neck all the way to the door, I think the guy got sexually aroused. At least he had a new suv that I would assume he takes care of but nothing is worse than a big pos cuz they don't care of they slam their door into yours.

What pisses me off is when somebody takes up TWO parking spots!!!! Just because you have a Camaro or Corvette or whatever you drive doesn't give you the right to take up two spots. One spot is plenty!!!

You should have pooped next to his driver's side door.

It doesn't have anything to do with it being a Camaro, Vette, etc... It has to do with dealing with people that don't have any consideration for other peoples property or even their own and opening their doors into your vehicle causing scratches, door dings, etc... I never take two spots, but it doesn't bother me when I see people doing it because of how inconsiderate people can be to other peoples hard earned property, I can't really blame them.

One of the main reasons people might park next to your car is they think "This guy has a Camaro, so he is probably some errogant guy, let's park next to him just to piss him off." When somebody parks way out there in the parking lot, they are just asking for it man. I don't park way out in the lot or take up two spots, because that just makes you look foolish. Kinda gives the impression to people that you think too high of yourself.

you should carry some peanut butter with you. Next car to park that close - take a glob and put it under the driver door handle.

Before my Camaro I drove a 96 Tacoma, complete with paint chips, flaking clear coat, some rust spots, and a couple non self-induced dings and 285k on the odo.

I parked it normally and never once hit a car with my door. It boils down to the person driving the vehicle and not the vehicle itself. I know myself and some others on the forum are the exceptions though.

The op isn't talking about people hitting his doors as much as he seems pissed that he owns a camaro so no one should park next to him. That in itself is kind of arrogant.

I park beside nice cars even in my work truck because I figure they won't door me. Just because someone is in a work vehicle deosn't mean they don't care about getting them damaged. My work truck cost twice as much as my camaro did.

whoa what? I was just saying I dont get why anyone would park right beside someone when there is a whole open parking lot where every other space is closer lol...I dont see how thats coming off as arrogant...Its my new car..my dream car...I worked hard for it..its my present to myself for serving in the forces. It just makes my heart skip a beat when I feel my car is "safe" only to come out and someone is right beside me..just scary for me...I love my car
