It always cracks me up... - Page 2

In the main campus parking lot here, I park in the back corner all the time, and during the warmer months, there will be several other cars parked by me. As mentioned by other posts, the cars are rarely clean or free of swirls. But once the average high gets in the 30s, those other cars start to quickly disappear. Oddly enough, the only car that continues to park near me is another Protege.

There are about 300 other spaces closer to wherever you are going. DON'T PARK NEXT TO ME.

Back in the day, I used to do the multiple space thing because the car I drove at the time had a very rare color that was hard as hell to match when repainting.

Nowadays, I don't mind parking far out.

I do the double park in the Vette as it is a rare color, and the car is minty all around (new paint 1 year ago). It is not a daily driver though, so it only sees a parking lot for maybe an hour or two a week.

However, I'm not a douche, and I do it at the very back of whatever lot I am at. If you do it at the very front, you are asking to be keyed.

Don't you hate that people think that way? If it's a nice car and they are taking up two spaces for protection's sake, then I can respect that. A classic car, or a really nice custom ride. What I hate is when I see some dime a dozen car like a Civic or something totally stock taking up two spots. However, it would NEVER cross my mind to harm another person's car.

What part of GA are you in?

I'm probably 100 yds from the door, but only about 10 spaces from the last cars. I'm like you, when I drive at lunch I let everyone out at the door.

I live in Suwanee, but moving to Dacula this w/e and I work in Duluth.

Seems like I've seen a ton of Impala SS's around lately.

Its even better when you park WAAAAY out in the park end of the lot all by yourself and someone parks right next to you. With all those spaces around why do they feel the need to put their car in the spot next to you?

I used to double park where I park now, 20 spaces from the next nearest car, but they the over-zealous, policeman-wannabee, security guy gave me 3 different warning slips, and the last one said I would be towed if I double parked again. I guess he had nothing better to do.

People at work make fun of me that I park in a different zip code.
However, I am not the only one at the end of the parking lot and it seems that we have an uspoken agreement to leave at least one space in-between our cars.
Of course the other cars are not very well maintained but that's a different story.

There's a very short lady at work that drives a Big (for her) Toyota Avalon that she can barely see over the steering wheel. It seems like it's just random luck that she parks in the middle of the lines of a parking spot.

I try to park in spots at my work that are further away because they seem to be wider.

If they are parked way out in the lot, fine but if they are parked that way up close, rare car or not, that is pretty obnoxious.

Agreed Scott. I was just a little afraid to go there. Don't wanna be flamed!
