You all talk about me being a non car guy because of what I said or that I don’t have anything nice or that what I do have was given to me such as Mommy and Daddy sponsored. No, wrong. I have a POS car of course but I also have a 1987 Camaro, a 07 Trailblazer SS and an 03 Cobra so you can all suck my balls. To the guy that said part of owning a car, nice or not, is dealing with knicks scratches and dents. If you don’t want them, park her at home. I wasn’t talking about people who take up 2 spots out in bumblefuck of the parking lot I’m talking about the jackass in the Mercedes at the grocery store who took up half of a normal parking space and half of the expectant mother parking space. I hope you enjoy having year round A/C coming through where your rear windshield used to be. Bitch.

Only attention whores take up 2 spaces, but what really makes me want to pour brake fluid on a car’s finish is when some ricer parks his Honda Civic (complete with carbon fiber hood, graphics, and oversized wing on the trunk) like it’s at a car show–taking up two spaces with the wheels turned. In some places that can earn not only a door ding but a well-deserved ass kicking.

Only time I’ve ever taken up two spots is if I need to run in a store 5 minutes before they close and nobody else is parked in the lot. I usually park way out in the lot. Good exercise and less chance for dings.

I would never try to give anyone a moral lesson by intentionally damaging their property, but when I had a beater I have once or twice pulled in next to someone taking up 2 spots and got out through the back hatch. I did this on the left of course so the person parked legally could still get in their car. Unfortunately when I got back out to my car, the moron taking 2 spots was still there and I had to crawl back in and squeeze back out of the half-spot.

Take two spots…….I will go out of my way to walk past your car with a key poking out of my fist.
I live in the DC area where parking is a premium.

I don’t worry about people taking up two spots… I park way out in the back of the lot away from everyone else. People taking up two spots are closest to the building trying to protect their vehicles or just carelessly parking. Of course I am trying to avoid the dings and dents, but I am also avoiding the pointless driving up and down every row just trying to find a spot. The spots in the back are always open!!!

If you see somebody parked in two spots go cry about it. whats it gonna change. just go look for another spot and quit your complaining.

Of course you don’t take up 2 spots – use 1 and only 1. Worried about scratches? Leave your vehicle at home and take the bus. Vehicles are to be driven, and the odd scratch is part of life. On ther other hand, you could do what I do; park at the extreme edge of a lot where short fat lazy people don’t usually park due to the walking distance. And it’s the short fat lazy people with little neck dexterity who cause a lot of the scratches and dents, so give them a wide berth.

If there is a way, I’ll park out in the boonies or an empty level so I don’t get nicks. BUt I’ve had d!@ks park up close AFTER I parked far away! The wife came home with our black Mazda 3 Sport having two door dings on the sides a couple of weeks ago. And she parks with one side next to open area of a wheelchair spot at work.
I didn’t yell at her. I yelled about whoever the piece of $h!* was that did it.
It makes me sick when others disrespect personal property. I worked hard to buy nice stuff. I may not have a + $30,000 auto, but damn, I want it to look nice. So, parents keep your kids from just swinging the doors open. And everyone else, if you can’t get out of your car without hitting me, park somewhere else or loose weight!

it all depends, if there is a huge empty parkinglot, i will definately “park it lik its hott” but away from being near the building, ihis guy that parked in a crowded parking garage is a dumbass, mabye he was trying to proove a point or something, but (if my cars werent as nice as they are) i would have done the same thing

I think its fine to take up 2 spaces, not like the suv did, but park diagonally so no one can even try to park next to you. i had a 1989 Ford Tempo GLS, one of under 1000 left in the world and i didnt want anything to happen to her. i parked diagonally in 2 spots wherever i went with her, i no longer have her, but i can only blame myself for the damage done to her. if u really car about ur car, find a spot where no one else parks. i now park my Mercury between a dumpster and a curb at work so no one else parks next to me. i just put the windows up so i dont get the smell. or i park between 2 ppl i know. there are better ways of protecting ur car, but i can understand the 2 space method.
