Nice stratagies,but what i like is parking in a area where no other car is in sight,that way i can keep the Candy apple red on my honda looking fresh,lol.

i dunno how fail safe it is to park next to other “nice vehicles.” i’ve seen many rich snobs who might have a $100k car, but sure the hell don’t care if they ding up your car or theirs. i know more people with metros that park nicer than luxury car owners.

nor do other car enthusiasts make your car any safer. i’ve had more crap happen to my car at a car shows than happens in walmart parking lot. other participants opening doors into my car, etc.

another trick is to park by light posts because thats one less person to hit u. and dont park near cart things or carts that r just chillin cause i have seen carts blow across lots before

i love this!!! i just put a rediculously nice paint job on my accord….taking up 2 or 3 spaces works…if you have the space butttt that can piss people off if there is a lack of space…word…my technique is to park beside really nice cars because i KNOW they are thinking the same thing i am…so they are just as cautious!!!

Glad you posted that I just painted my formula white and i’m finishing that up and my firebird is about to get striped again and painted (door dings scratchs and the paint looks horrible now)

that`s realy irritating,have a workfellow who insist park close to my ride, and he is slobby with his wheels. best to park too a 4 dorrslammer,they have shorter doors swe_petta@hotmail.com

Put an NRA sticker in your window….hehe…..

I always park in the back of the lot….

Take care all!!!!!!

I think the thing about parking that gets me the most is sure I want to park closest to the enterance somewhere but I don’t and park way off by myself somewhere and when I come out I have a couple of beat to hell woodgrained soccer mom vans with a mother of 7 who let herself go after maybe kid #2 parks a foot away from me and you know there’s no way in hell she shoehorned her big @ss out of that van with all the disrespectful ankle biters in tow without hitting my car at least once or dragging the suitcase she calls a purse down the side of my car and there was still 50 spots between my car and the rest of the lot closer she could have parked. As soon as I see some obvious new damage in a lot I’m caving in the door of the car that did it, I’m tired of stupid people.

A few people have said, “what’s wrong with taking up 2, 3 or 4 spaces if there’s a lot of open room?” Well, nothing.. other than it exudes an air of pretension which makes some people WANT to do something to your car. I park in the rear of the lots also, but I only ever use one spot. I try to keep from doing anything that would draw someone’s indignation toward my car.
