IMO it's the principle of the thing. There are lines for a reason. What if he parked regularly? Probably would have been hit. I've seen people park much worse than this, get out, look at the car and walk away. I've told them about it and they still don't care. If you don't care about your car please park away from those who obviously do.
In an universe that is getting more and more populated too people like this who can't park, steal spots from people.

This drives me nuts in my car. at work I always park far away from the building in a side lot, mostly empty and even thought there could be 25 spots in the main lot and 6-7 in the row im in, this soccer mom SUV has decided to park right next to me every day im in my car. really grinds my gears

Just curious! Anyone ever install any type of Color-matched Side Body Moldings ?
I think it would probably ruin the lines but you never know.

I has a woman park next to me a while back. It was a small lot and with tight spaces so I knew I was taking a chance. When I come out from lunch there she is all parked super close to me and there was some paint transfer on my door. She didn't let it swing hard enough to ding, but there was still some paint transfer. I know it was from her cause I had just washed the car, and the black spot that was the same color of her jeep also matched the the location of the corner of her door. Seeing that it was only paint transfer, just just sighed and was going to move along until I saw her also coming out. So I decided to sit there for a second longer and just bring it to her attention. I was not rude about, and even stated that she didn't do any damage to my car, but for in the future, for me and other, could she be more careful upon exiting her vehicle. Oh man did she get livid. All because I asked her to be more conscientious. It ended up turning into a fairly decent exchange between us that almost ended up with severe damage to her vehicle, just because she couldn't admit to being wrong.

Not really camaro related... but
I rode my honda fury to the grocery store, and I always park as far away from ANYONE as i can, this time i parked all the way out by the main street. I came out of the store and walked out to the area were i was parked, and a female, driving an older honda CRV SUV had run OVER my cycle, and got high centered on it.... she tried to drive over the bike for two parking spots, dragging the bike under her truck. When i got there, an on looker had called the cops, and she was telling the cops that "it should not have been parked away from the other cars" the cop looked at me, raised an eyebrow, then shook his head and called for a tow truck. the bike suffered from frame damage and had to be put to sleep, she was not arrested, and was not given a ticket (as it was private property) here is the kicker.... because i was not actively sitting on the motorcycle when it happened - my insurance had to foot the bill...
long story short... it doesn't matter how far away from people you park - someone will hit your ride... just a matter of time. now i park on the 4th and 5th level of the parking garage, only one other person parks there, and he parks on the other side of the structure. Some lady here at the office told me i was arrogant for parking up there... just can't win. |

I had this graduate student park here in a non existent parking spot.
I yelled at him to park someplace else. For one this is not a parking spot, and I only noticed well after this and washing the car, that his passenger left a door ding. I sent the picture to DPPS and they told me next time I see that stuff to call in so they can tow them. They have since put "NO Parking TOW AWAY Zone" signs next to the stairwell.

When I lived in NYC I always had a beater car for everyday commute and my Nice Muscle Car was only used for the Weekends or events where there was little chance of dealing with inconsiderate/I don't care about your car people, dinging my prized possession. The beater car got daily abuse from inconsiderate drivers. Unfortunately, you can't change stupid, inconsiderate people. You just have to find ways around the BS.

And the people that say it's "Just a car" should be told how stupid they are.
There is a significant sum of money sitting there where your car is, no matter what you drive. Pretty much... Lee |
