Like a magnet

sengli · 08-01-2021, 07:16 PM

Went to a local shopping center this weekend. Parked way out in the farthest corner of the lot to avoid any damages. There wasnt any cars near me at all. Came out 45 minutes later to this. Oh well I was in good company.

So, parked where you were, I assume you were going to the Bed Bath and Beyond on the other side of the road? Cuz you know you never can be far enough away . . .

Great story, three other guys you’re safe to be parked beside.

Looks like your magnet is attracting the right kind of attention. My magnet ends up with full sized minivans and SUVs surrounding it with 0.005cm’s of space between my door and theirs when they park beside me.

What’s your secret?

That's actually pretty cool.

Cool pic, but they could have spaced it out a little bit. The mustang looks to be too close for my comfort.

The green Challenger is too close for comfort also. Seems like when I park my ZL1 out like that an SUV, truck or a POS will park beside me even if I’m parked in the back forty.

I agree, they were a little too close, I had to be very careful with my door when trying to get in my car. You know these are two door cars, and the doors are big.

Yeah, they could've spaced out a bit more but it is cool to see. I would rather have cars like that park by me than some rust bucket or a mom's crossover.

The funny thing, if you look at the picture, it looks like you were the one that showed up last and crowded in. The other 3 have good spacing without you

Yep.

I try to be way out & park on the line. People are such conformists they still park in the lines next spot over.

In my experience, parking out in the north 40 like that triggers the a-hole in some people. I try to park about mid-way where it's kind of sparse. Hide in plain sight, if you will.

I did the same yesterday only to find some old beat up truck parked 1.5 feet away from my drivers door. I inspected my car for dents and was ready to kick their door in if I found any.

Maybe they all thought you were the first to arrive for a Cars & Coffee?
