Official Crappy Parkers Thread

I don't like parking the Z anywhere other than home. I drive it just to drive it, not to go anywhere.

Ferrari or not, parking in two spots is just inviting some a-hole to key/ding your car on purpose. I say park far away in a single spot.

When I can, I park far away and next to a curb so it only leaves one side for an a-hole to park in. I agree with Armonster, I never park in two spots because someone, somewhere will key/ding it.

Your views would be different if you had one
Of course it's easy for me to say! Because I'm not an a$$hole that would park like that. Even if i had a car that cost that much i still would not park that way.

I'm pretty sure if i could afford that car, I could afford a really nice beater car, like a 370, hahahah. Or if i had to park my expensive car in a lot, I'd try to find the best single spot like an end space so one one car is next to me. I'm just not that rude of a person.

I had my old 300ZX keyed deep 12 inches barely into a few weeks of ownership. I have seen guys in beatup cars driving in parking lots and looking for the nicest cars just to try to dent them with the rusted junks (why??). If I had a car like that (Personally speaking, I know I never would even if I could afford it, I'm not the kind to blow that much money on anything that's neither an investment nor gains any value) I will do what needs to be done to protect from jealous/lousy drivers... That's just my opinion.

Yeah, but if the point is to avoid any potential damage you would think you would try and draw at least fractionally less attention by parking properly. I'm sorry, but the car stands out much more if it is parked like the owner is the king of the land. That says look at me, I think I am better than anyone which is much more likely to be met with acts of automotive violence.

I maintain: park further away or do not park at all, don't park like you are entitled to special privileges as nice car or poor car, neither give you any.

Honestly, while I appreciate the effort you've made to point out the apparent difference..it doesn't really matter in the end....both are unattainable.

I think he did you a favor; its not a cheap car, its in good condition, he left lots of space and is preventing someone with a '79 ford rustbucket from parking next to you.

I just shook my head as I passed by the guy coming out of the car and took a pic on my way into the place.

I am pretty damn sure he saw me shaking my head LOL.

And another LOL I had to rename the image so I could embed it because it was getting censored because I used the word ***.
I USED TO LOVE farmer boys, i would go there after class. Avacado burger is bomb though =P

I was wondering what this place was...
The only thing I could think was that it was the West Coast equivalent of a TSC.

So why don't you love farmer boys anymore? I am not a big fan of avocado but I really like their burgers. I also really like the fried zucchini (Although a couple of the don't make them as good as others).
