I say awesome job! There are two types of people in this world - car people and those who care about their car as much as they care about their toaster. No sense worrying about the toaster people - just try to keep your car out of the path of their carelessness.

that is funny. definitely obsessive since there were obvious spots around that were just as available without anyone around to smack the car, but a comical photo nonetheless. i'm sure the guy gave you a funny look because he was laughing in his head "really?"

my rule, if a shed isn't around, always park by cars that cost more than yours.

Except mercedes. I have found they don't care about their own or your car, with consistency. maybe bc mercedes has become a corporate hoo-er, as my NJ friends may say.

I had to stop at Lowe's this morning and took advantage of an unusual space. While walking up to the car on the way out, a guy gave me a really dirty look and then shook his head at me. What do you guys think was I being an a-hole for parking here?

I don't see an issue but someone driving the 92 Sun Bird might see fit to scratch your car.

That says "I really want someone to key my car" to lots of people.

This is what I was thinking. How wide was the opening on the largest shed? Just an idea for next time.

I'm at odds on this one. You have succesfully parked in bfe. You have succesfully parked in a space where nobody can park beside you. BUT, you have parked near a convenience store product, so I see it as a higher foot traffic area. People have reason to be near your car. Pretending to be interested in a shed is easy. I can see you getting keyed here by a jerk.

I would have done this to the guy shaking his head at me...

AnnaBear@SpartaChevy · 07-19-2011, 01:01 PM

Nope, nothing wrong with that at all.

RubyCamaro · 07-19-2011, 01:03 PM

Nice one. I'll have to remember to look for places like that!
