i guess i'm sort of looking for some validation when i do it....like if i haven't had a compliment on it for awhile and i'm wondering if it still looks hot. then when they tell me that they are glad i parked my car next to them so that some other POS car wouldn't, i breathe a sigh of relief because i know my car still has it.

Recently I've caught on the the SW area MO' ,
most people just toss their cart ( a LOT more than in any other region )
So I park at the end of the lot, or on a high point in the lot, purely so a cart cant just "roll" into my car.

last time, i purposely parked my car next to another nice fixed up car, both my car and his car almost got stolen. luckily mall security was actually doing their job patroling n scared those fools away. they broke into my car and broke my ignition n ****.

but if i was going to park around the same area, of course i rather park next to the nice car, other then that, im out in the back alone!

This was 2 days ago (also at the mall), another LS parks infront of me:


And then last week, a 35th Aniversary parks infront of me:


Probably the psychological explanation behind this is:
"OoO.. this guy knows what's up, I'll park around him since he wont force me to call Ding King the next morning!" Or perhaps I just attract a lot of ricers in general because I am afterall... the Ring King.

The LS owner pictured above is actually a girl. I ran up to meet her after she got out of car while pulling into a parking spot infront of me. She's chill as anything, cute, drives like a guy, can't wait to mod her car, and will be hanging out at the local meets. More pics to come!

Edit: For those whom have trouble w/ their sense of humor and take things either too personal or too serious: I do not actually believe these cars are "Rice" as generally known with "riced out" cars, they're very well respected classy vehicles
nice pics, anyone here should feel honored if a cayman s parked next to you

the regular park crew at my building (vacant 4th floor) includes an s2000, cls500, porsche boxter, 330, 530 and my g35. I could not identify a single one of the drivers but we all know there will be no door dings around each other.

Yep have had this happen to me and I am guilty as well. I need to start carrying my camera around and get some picks of the random rice congregations.

If I park next to someone, its in hope that they will respect my car as much as they respect theirs...and not give me a door ding! So I guess I'll assume that's what they are trying to achieve as well. Unless its a "****box" then I typically assume they want to die! haha

Hey, it's fun to look at two or three or six nice cars together. I tend to do that sometimes.
