Well, I guess we have about 20 fuc**** obessed(?) idiots, and one smooth playazz!

I guess I'm just ob(S)essed and proud of it!!

Back on topic:

One thing that always makes me laugh is when you go to the Gym, and people are rolling around the parking lot, looking for that space right up front, only to go inside and walk on the treadmill for an hour. What are they thinking?

Double parking is asking to be keyed.

But I don't turn around if I can't find my optimal spot.

I will PM him about this. I looked at his other posts and he seems to be a genuine member not a troll. I think the "stupid" comment was really just in response to the original question asked (see thread title), not an insult just hurled out there, so we'll give him a little leeway there.

The heats on...

I used to laugh at my dad when he used to fret over his vette...hey that rhymes...and park out in the boonies...Now I'm doing it and I'm happy to say it works quite well most of the time...but never ever double park...It's a major no no and although I wouldn't touch another's car...I'm in the minority...

I've found spots to park that have been so good that I don't want to take the car away from it's new home it's like a major accomplishment...on one side is the curb, the other is a no parking spot...right near the door to the resturant and in eyesight of my table...

sad when the car is better company than some people for dinner eh?

I try to park my car where there are like 5 spots on either side of me in the back of a parking lot, but still when I come back to my car someone parks right next to me. I get so irritated cause there are so many spots on both sides. Are people just dumb or do they just have to park next to someone? I personally don't get it. Other people that irritate me are people who park so close to your car that you can't get back in.

I hear ya man. There are a few places with those primo spaces. Like at Dave & Busters here in Austin they have a few single spots that have curbs on 3 sides, hah! I also find if you see someone pulling up in another nice car at the same time parking next to them is a good idea, and they usually appreciate it also. That way you both know that one side is safe.

yeah double parking is bad, makes people angry. I did it once, at my ex's apartment complex when there were like 30 spaces free, and some jack*** reported me to the office and they came down to put a sticker on my car saying it was going to be towed! The funny thing is it was some couple, probably in their early 20s. It was obvious because I saw them giving my car dirty looks. Apparently I took their "usual" spot. Amazes me how petty people can be.

I usually look for a spot that allows me to put some of the car in a neutral zone, so in a way I am using 1.5 spaces, but not taking a parking space away from anyone. Luckily the garage I park in at work allows me to do this every morning without drawing too much attention to myself AND without making anyone angry.

I park next to NICE cars, or cars that look likes the owner takes care of his vehicle. Best spots are next some sort of landscaping or some structure where no one can park on the passenger side. that way there is ALOT of room seperating you from the car next to you on the drivers side.

Spoken like a kid who has never paid for his own car. You'll never appreciate something until you have to work hard for it. That's the number one reason why I don't think parents should buy their kids nice cars (even if they are 20, 30, whatever). It's not jealousy, it's more pity for the car that will be abused by the person who doesn't care about it as much as someone who had to work for it.

I know this is an old post, just missed it before.

Default To the Lady Z owners

To all you Z Ladies out there, remember that parking far away from everyone else CAN put you in dangerous situations (esp. at night). I park as far away as possible from everyone else, or do like others, park by a curb or another nice/new car. BUT at night I park closer, try to park under a light pole, or where people can see me. I would hate to hear of a woman being abducted/raped/mugged because she parked her new Z away from other cars. ***Just a little reminder that there are too many freaks out there to put your life in jeopardy*** Z Girls RULE!!! Be polite, Speak softly and carry a 357!

Thanks, very sweet of you to think about us Z girls. I do park as far away as possible, especially when I'm at work. I work in a department store so it's guaranteed that many people will be coming in and out of the parking lot, so I have to park far. When I do leave at night I try to walk with other co-workers. I never really gave anything bad happening to me much thought, now I will.

Hee. Hee. I honestly feel sorry for the moron who tries to mess with this Z chick. Not only do I ALWAYS carry a knife (and know how to use it), I'm pretty nasty in a fight. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I'm liscenced to carry a concealed weapon. LOL

Few weeks ago at the horse races, I parked FAR away ... about 10+ empty spots on both sides.

Later that day, walking back to the car I notice a POS old car parked about 5" away from my driver side door. All the other spaces around were empty. I had to get in from the passenger side.

It's obvious it was done on purpose -- I can't imagine anyone being that much of a dolt.

Tho immature, I felt it necessary to remove my chewing gum and REALLY do a good job of plugging his driver side keyhole to make it equally as difficult for him to get in his car.
