Other Sports Cars Parking Next to You

So I was at the driving range yesterday and parked pretty far away from other cars with no one next to me. When I'm about to leave, I see this.

Haven't had this happen yet. I think they think they're better than you
I like how you debadged your car and then re-badged with a vanity plate?

Yep... exactly that. At work, I have a group of folks: SRT8 challenger, STi, RX8, SRT8 Charger, and an Evo park next to me... at least we're all in the same group. But yes, no door dings. Respect... always park next to people who respect you too.

??? What's wrong with how he parked? Usually, people at work drive alone. So people exit/enter via the driver-side door. Soooo... he was inching more toward the left side of the spot so as to avoid a possible ding by the car parked next to him (mustang).

I do the same thing... I park more towards the left side if I know someone can park to my right. Usually, I get an end spot anyways, and so I scoot over to the side AWAY from someone possibly parking next to me.

Yeah, it seems to be happening more and more to me too. Expecially if it appears there will be no way out of others parking next to you as the parking lot fills up. They just know you'll respect their car because you have a nice one too.

Now, we don't have Ferrari's or I'd be pissed because then it's obvious you don't want anyone parking within a mile of your ride.

I've learned to understand it. At first my wife was like .... what are they thinking? She parks her Maxima out far not to get dings and such and people park up close to her. They've hit her car twice though. Someone that doesn't know how to really park. One of those lady BMW'ers / Benz owners I guess.
Not sure why, I know no one has a axe to grind with the wife as everyone loves her. She's a cutie pie.

FYI - 2011 Mystic Jade / Tan Leather VQ35 CVT- It looks better than a Masaratti in our opinion and gets twice the mileage. Gets as many compliments as the Z gets. It always get me by surprise when someone asks about the car. Generally Acura, Benz, BMW owners ....






The Maxima is such a nice car that it tempted me back into a Z. I wish Nissan had the Z in this color combo. If they do later.... I'm trading.

I often spend 2-3 minutes finding the right parking at my dorm because I refuse to park next to certain vehicles.
