I park like a champ, in my opinion

, but the only idiots I point and make fun of... are the ones who arn't doing it on purpose and probably shouldn't even have keys.

Most of you members sound like the same asshats that have questioned my disability because I was a young man getting out of a nice car or truck in a disabled parking space.

Eh. Nobody else around, looks to be pretty far out on the lot. I don't see the huge deal. I think 4 spots is a bit overboard, but still not that big of a deal. If he were 3 spots from the door, yeah he's a tool.

cab2g · 07-15-2011, 01:14 PM

if nobody is parked anywhere near you, why not take up 4 spots. I don't see the problem. Sure there may be jealous people that will mess with your car because you parked funny, but I am willing to bet, the lone car parked in the middle of nowhere regardless of how many spots it takes up is a target for keying.

BRAVO29ER · 07-15-2011, 01:17 PM

Lol...I do the same when the parking lot is that empty. Makes sure nobody will try and park next to me!!!

Now if the lot was full...then no I wouldn't do and yes he would be an ass if it was full.

Yea well maybe I should park like that. The reason why is, today I went pick me up some lunch....and as I was walking to my car, this pos mini van comes driving up and parks next to my car. I mean right next to my door. So I run to my car knowing this ain't gonna be good. I jump in a hurry and back up. When I got in I quickly judged the distance and her door was GOING to hit my mirror had I not moved it. Luckily she saw me and didn't open her door as I backed out. Let me just say, a regular size person would not have been able to get out of her vehicle without hitting my car....so I know she would have...she was on the heavy side. My point? Sometimes you gotta park like an asshat to keep your nice car....umm...nice! So if I see any if you guys parked effed-up...I'm just gonna smile....cause for now on...I'm right there with you.

On a side note, if I had a v6 mustang, I'd just park it where ever...cause really...who cares?

i would have parked my jeep between him and the light pole and then stood somewhere to see his reaction...

I guess he really doesn't want door dings.

If he did it near the front of the store he would have deserved a key, but that far out in the lot it doesn't really matter.

I think that far out in the lot you can park normally. I would still look for an end spot.

See photo below for how to properly park. \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/

you clowns are all fools. the mustang didn't park there, rather, that is where it broke down.

Well one good thing it is parked close to the light just in case it takes him all day & all night to repair it.
