Surprise walking out of the restaurant - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I always park out by myself and as I walk out leaving dinner the other night I see a nice surprise. Wasn't to close so I didn't mind.

Never cool to take up more than one spot or be over the lines. It just screams "I'm a douchebag!"

dshep214 · 05-12-2012, 10:23 AM

Technically 2 cars only took up two spots. And it was a big parking lot and it's the farthest spots away from the building

Cool picture! Wouldn't have bothered me either. We always park away from everyone else too.

and here come the parking spot police

MediumLabowski · 05-12-2012, 10:37 AM

Those 2 cars only took up 2 spots, check the lines... seems legit.

*Mindz* · 05-12-2012, 11:14 AM

I agree. He parked over the edge of one line, but it was a no parking zone, so he left extra room on one side. The red one took a bit of space to leave a bit extra on their left as well.

GWell I guess I'm King Douchebag because I usually have King Ahole parking beside me. Sorry guys but that dent isn't worth it

RJT Impala · 05-12-2012, 11:45 AM

You'll have to arm-wrestle me for the "KingDoucheBag" title. I'll always take one of those end slots and crowd the line giving as much space as possible. And especially so when its in the south forty and the closest neighbor is a quarter mile away.

I don't see a problem when people take up more than one space as long as it's far back and away from where everyone is parking and there's plenty of empty spaces to take. The way I see people mistreat other peoples property, especially when it comes to cars (parking too close and slamming their doors into yours dinging panels and chipping paint), I don't see them as a "douchebag", but someone who just cares and takes pride in their vehicle and understands how inconsiderate the masses are and has dealt with vehicle damage from poor park jobs

I came out of Walmart and had a wingman, heh...

I pulled into another Walmart a few days later and I seen another Camaro parked in the back so I parked next to it, heh. I gave them an extra space in-between though...

Knowing that taking two spaces will attract the attention of people who will vandalize just because you took two spaces I make sure to park perfectly in a singe space, just park out in the back away from everybody, lol. The only time I ever took two spaces was at my old insurance agent's parking lot. I'm a skinny guy and care about door dings and those spaces where so small, even I couldn't open my door carefully enough not to touch the vehicle next to me. At that point I decided I'm taking two! And no, there was no option of parking out in the back, it was just one strip of spaces at this building and those spaces where just too small, plain and simple (I do paving and line striping so I know when a space isn't the normal size).

Wouldn't it be better if you parked in the spot next to both of them? The way you did it allows someone to park their car in between, and if they have a passenger, both your cars could get a nice big dent.

Trucks are the worst for 2 spot parking, and they generally do it close; not out in the boonies.
