Parking lot douchebags?

I tend to look for nicer cars when parking. In that case, most likely that STI owner is as passionate about his car as you are and that's why he parked next to you. And obviously, if there's two cars, a ratty one and a nice one, you want to park closer to the nice one.

I hate it when a POS flies into the parking lot and parks next to me all funky and stuff, not to mention the other night I went into MC D's and when I got to work I noticed some dick unleased a whole mustard packet on my passanger side mirror. I hate teenage kids!

If the parking lot if crowded this is what I do. I'll take my chances with the owner of a new Lexus over some guy in a lifted ford F-250 with 5" stacks sticking out the bed of his truck.

Like I said, I always park in the most deserted area of the lot - no exceptions. This mall is huge, and there's a ton lots to park in. When I say there's at least an acre of empty land around me when I park, I'm not kidding.
And again, the STI owner parked WAY too close to me. And no, I didn't park like an *** - the spaces in this mall are HUGE. You can swing your entire door open they're so wide. The guy was just a douche.

At least someone with a nice car parked next to you, not some rustbucket.

oh man,
My last car was a scion tc. This was my first new car purchase & so I was very proud of it & myself. Anyways, on 3 separate occasions while visiting target I was hit on the passenger side door 2-times & the front passenger side fender one time. All of us know what that feels like and so I won't go into details as it still pisses me off. But here is a story that is liable to make Z-owners tearful! I now own a 07 mag. black tour. 350z; I purchased my car on a saturday in march of this year & for the most part it was a nice week with little or no rain if I recall. On the following saturday I was peacefully washing my car & had just finished drying it. It was now time for the tire gel so I went inside to grab my bag with all my tire dressing items. I also grabbed a cold bottle water from the frig. & quickly made my way back to my lot. (Please note my lot is secured & fenced with a 8' fence.) As I walk outside I found a double-threaded screw (sim. to those for furniture table leg-attachment). This struck me as kind-of weird, the first thing I thought was how I was out for almost 1.5 hours & did not notice this 4" long brass screw, so I picked-it up & put in inside. About an hour later I went outside to dust the car & I noticed 2-DENT ON THE TOP OF MAY CAR, ALONG WITH THE SCREW MARKS FROM THE BRASS SCREW I HAD FOUND EARLIER!
To this day nothing else has happened to my car luckily. But the moral of the story is sometimes no matter how hard you try. It is even possible that on your own property some hater can damage your car. I'm gonna stop now I'm gettin pissed again

well I had my new bumper for 1 week, custom painted + titek cf duct, and when I went out to wash my car I noticed that my front bumper was scraped! It looked like someone from the university parking ramed through it, took even the clear coat off, and wiped down any paint evidence from their car.

Maybe you have it wrong. I will park next to another nice car to mutually protect both cars. If I saw your car at the end of a lane (where I park) I would park next to yours, trust you not to ding me, and in a million years I would never ding your car. Kind of a mutual trust thing between drivers who want to keep their cars nice.

Look I will always park next to a nice car because that will reduce the amount of attention to my own. I am not a douchebag, you sir, sound like a douchebag for getting annoyed with people who are just as concerned about the well being of their car as you.
