I do this to keep people that dont pay attention from opening up their car doors and placing a nasty ding in mine. I dont do it to be a jerk. I do it to keep something pricey from happening to my car that I work very hard to take care of.
I dont design the tight parking spaces or lack there of. I do take the risk of parking where I do sometimes, but if I ever catch someone keying my car they will get what they deserve right there on the spot. For those of you who do think people are jerks for taking up two spots way in the back of the parking lot, worry about yourselves and move on because it isnt harming you.
If you worked really hard to take care of something and someone just threw their door open on your car causing damage, you will then understand. Those of you driving 1932 push and go's, I guess you wouldnt understand.

I haven't gotten all the way through this thread yet, so this may have already been said but -
I don't think that the VAST majority of people on this forum are driving "1932 push and go's". In fact, my guess is that we're all driving cars similar to yours if not MUCH nicer. We all take good care of our cars. Most folks who join an enthusiast's site are like that. I park out in the nosebleeds normally, but I never take up 2 spots. That's pure douchbaggery. There's always a chance that someone's gonna mess up your car, but taking up multiple spots - especially out in the back of the lot - is pure arrogance and just asking for problems from those folks who are haters because you have something nice. It's not saying that you're doing it out of arrogance, but that's how it's perceived.
Anyway, that's all I got. Sorry if it was a repeat, but I couldn't help myself.
