I like to park a few spots away from everyone and every time I do there is one car that has to park right next to me even though there are about 15 other spots right around me. It's like my car has a gravitational pull.

My garage wasn't an option

I usually park in front of your moms house, unless your dad is home. Then I'll park in the back.

Depends. If there is a parking space in front of the store I am going to then I park there. If I go to the mall and there is an empty row, I park in a spot in that row. Car is parked in my driveway when I am home.

Got my front fender banged up at wal-mart last year, lesson learned! My gf will tell it, I bitched about it for a month! We now take her car there, she wants front row.

I park next to the nicest cars I can find, the chances they give a dam are better. Most of the time I will look at my doors for new scratches before I get in.

I park far away but if I park around ppl I know there not a scratch or ding in my car I write down there liscence plate number down and what car it is my gf thinks I am crazy. I don't know if haveing the number will help but I have it

I went ballistic on a guy that hit the side of my car one afternoon. Considering that the car was over 30 years old and halfway through a paint job with primer on places, I'm sure he thought I was a complete nut case. Maybe he will think twice next time-nah, I doubt it.

Usually I'll double park way the fuck out there to avoid annoying people, or try and get about a third into the little slash paint lines to avoid fuckers with Kamikaze doors.

I know, it's surprising to most people, they ask how I can leave such an exotic expensive car out in public, let alone parking it between rogue shopping carts and a van that looks like it was used to smuggle illegal immigrants. But I like living my life on the edge

**Spikito** · 04-28-2009, 02:08 PM

if i go out to eat or something ill try to park where i can see it. but if its a big parking lot, way out there. and i usually try to get the last spot. next to a curb and park up as close to it as possible so someone doesnt get too close and ding me

**bigrondownhiller** · 04-28-2009, 02:20 PM

I try next to a curb or median and make sure it is on the uphill of the parking lot.

**gbd99ws6** · 04-28-2009, 03:00 PM

If I can't park it so I can see it I don't drive it. Learned that lesson right after I got my car, some peice of shit ripped my ws6 emblem off.

Not five minutes later the people parked to my left came out to their vehicle. THUD -- they smack the passenger door into the side of my truck.

Neither of them said sorry, or acted the least bit worried about what they did, even though I am in my truck in plain sight. The urge to jump out and go ape was fortunately overcome by the realization that I am in a not-to-good section of a strange city and that my reaction, although justified, would have probably gotten me shot.

People in general just piss me off!!!

That's why you should carry a Schrader valve tool
