I park far enough away so the spaces around me don't fill up by the time I leave but not so far away that my lonesome car draws too much attention.

Yes.

I park as close to the front door of where ever I'm going as long as the space is wide enough. Been doing it for 2 years without incident.

When going to a store I park the Vette in the garage and take the DD.

I am a Disabled Combat Veteran, I have Disability License Plates. Always park up front. The spots leave plenty of room on both sides.

Thats about what I do too. If parking at a motel overnight, I try to park at the end as close to the curb as possible without rubbing against the curb, leaving plenty of space on the other side of the car.

Just trying to look for a big spot.....

I park so far away the wife asks if we can wait for a shuttle to take us to the door....

In all honesty, parking the Vette in a parking lot makes me not enjoy taking it....

i have a black truck with nearly zero scratches on it. one day while parked at a box store sortof away from the rest, i came out to find a cart into my door. received about a five inch long scrath, deep. its very unsightly, but its my truck which i drive a lot. its now 2.5 years old with 72k miles on it, and this one scratch......

now when driving the vette, i am cognizant of both where i park, and trying to park defensively to prevent a random cart incident, or if going to a busy lot, just leave the vette home.

I just size up the space as to provide enough room so opening the doors shouldn't be a problem. I park square within the space not drawing extra attention to my car. No problems to date.

the bonus is if I can find an end space I can put one side against.

dvilin

That is what I try to do.

I try to choose my parking space wisely. But, always some knucklehead has to be obnoxious and park next to me.

As I said in the other thread I have a NYPD Captains plaque and a NYS Court Officers Union plaque. I'll park on the sidewalk if it means not parking near anybody or to get close enough to where I want to go. And yes I have parked on the sidewalk before.

boraxman

I dont usually use parking lots but when I do I park in any old spot

What he said.

red2012

Jealous? BTW I don't vote.

BlueAngelSAE

You are the man....a sidewalk, really where people can seamlessly walk close by with inconspicuous tools of etching destruction.........say it's a typo!!

red2012

No not a typo. Don't get me wrong its not something I make a habit out of nor would I block the path of people on a sidewalk. But if the situation allows me the opportunity, I have done it before without ever a repercussion and I have been doing it for about 10yrs. Believe me when I tell you that just about all people try to avoid the car when they see it parked in a compromising position.
