Maybe the truck owner really loves his truck also and knows the Z owner would be respectful so parked next to him? (probably not, but trying to be positive and give someone the benefit of the doubt)

And again, I posit, why does this person need benefit of the doubt? They've done nothing wrong. If the remaining spots were all filled with vehicles, nobody would gripe, because the truck is parked a respectable distance away. But take those vehicles out of those spots, and all of a sudden people get their panties in a wad. It's hilarious!

If the car is not crowding and there is no ding on my car, I wouldn't really care.

Just one last thing I'll point out here...
The truck appears to be as far to the right as possible in his space. Best case scenario here. He's providing defense from people who don't care about their cars (by the appearance of his vehicle, I think he doesn't like door dings either) while leaving plenty of door swinging room in between his truck and your car. I dunno, maybe I have just trained myself to try to find the positive in every situation. If there's no door ding, then there's definitely no foul here and you've gotten yourself worked up over nothing. Think about this... Maybe the owner of that truck is a regular at that karting place and you took his favourite spot, but he was cool with taking the next spot down knowing that he was still safe in no-man's land. You could have parked further over on your passenger side. The truck is so new that it's running a temp tag. Remember how you felt/acted when your car was brand new?

I agree, no crowding and no door ding is no problem.

i agree! doesn't matter if i'm in my beater or not. i still rather not get a door ding and i park next to cars way out in the back because i know they would be more careful. so it's not okay if i park next to your precious Z if i'm in my honda, but it's okay if i'm in my benz? makes no sense.

Some of you guys are ridiculous.
A car/truck parks perfectly centered in the spot next to you. Not even close to dinging or damaging you. But, you go APESHIT CRAZY because for some reason you feel entitled to the spot next to you!

The last couple pages in this thread really should be titled "Entitled Douche Parkers" the way you guys are overreacting.

i agree with the above about thinking of positive scenarios. still, i always check for marks when someone does this. im just too experienced in what can and will and does happen. benz or beater, empty lot and still crowding? why not leave just one space? trying to send a message? whatever. the thing about trucks, most of them have door bumpers, so parking 6 miles away is pointless.
