=P I only park on that side (compact) when I park on one of the end spots (eiher right side end or left side end) so I can go far over to the edge and give the person next to me lots of room.

But atleast I am not a huge truck parking in those spots =P

It seems just about every time I try this method, the car that parks next to me will not centre their car within the white lines but relative to my vehicle and the next spot. In other words they cheat their asses way over almost intentionally far enough so that any advantage you take is negated. My Z is ding free (knock on wood), I a super paranoid of some careless **** ruining my ding free Z. I'll park way at the back of any lot just to help avoid the asshats.

I hate that $hit I only park relative to the adjacent car when parking between the lines would put me dangerously close to a car already there. Actually, I generally just drive around looking for another spot.

So damn true. Most times when I park way over to the side in a corner spot, some idiot parks over the lines into my space. I parked far over for a reason, and that reason wasn't to give you a place to land wherever you please.

And just this week, in the parking garage at work, the same for me. I was on the end hugging the wall side of my space, but not for the big BMW to park in my space too. Find your own end space.

This garage is on a corporate campus, so if you are parking in it, you work here. I took the pic because the next time it happens I plan to chat with this person's manager.
