Hopefully, you weren't wearing your Ford Fairlane jacket and also left the gold chains at home that day. Stunts like parking in four spaces helps perpetuate the negative, stereotypical dick image of a Corvette owners.

U.M.

But from what i can see is you are parked over the line in front. So now if someone runs into your front end, is it their fault? I mean after all, you are not inside your designated parking area.

Years ago I parked my car , got out and went around and opened the door for my 6 year old. When we came back about an hour later I noticed the truck in front of me was maybe in my space. I got out to look and sure enough the truck was a foot into my space resting on my car. Just then I heard someone loading the back of the truck. I went back and asked them to come look @ where they had parked. Her answer looking @ me? How do I know you didn't run into me? Wrong answer! She ended up screaming for the police and telling her kid to let thier dog lose on me. LOL not one person would stop to do anything. I ended up leaving after talking to store manager. Next time I'm just calling the police.

"I said, "you might have seen on the back that I'm an attorney." (It says Attorney at Law on my plate frame.) "You see those cameras on the building over there (pointed)? I've represented people who have been charged with crimes in this very parking lot and those videos are what convicted them. If there's a scratch on my car, I've got your picture, I'll find out who you are and bust you." They immediately apologized and said they didn't scratch the car, etc etc and would never hurt my car like that. I introduced myself and they gave me their names, Donnie and Sam (real? who knows?). Then I talked them into helping me move the carts away from my car."

LOL I love this post it's the best..
As soon as you'd declared you were a lawyer, I would have said "Figures!.. Douchebag parking job",.. told you to kiss my *** and said get the film. See you on "Cops". So now your above the law and double parking is ok? Oh wait,.. quadruple parking..?
LOL your funny man.
Hate me all you want but just by posting this thread you've proven to be a douche and a stereotypical ego filled lawyer.
Shopping at Walmart on a lawyers salary? Wow.
You must be reppin' some quality people. NOT lol

Flame me I DONT CARE your just funny.

Agreed with others.. parking in 4 spots.. you kinda asked for the extra attention.
Technically speaking, if they didnt touch your car with the shopping cars. They really didnt break any laws. I guess with this practical joke gone wrong.. all parties involved learned a little lesson.

I generally try and park far away as possible to. But I take up one space.. and put the passenger side (and rear end if possible) of my Vette up against a wall or barrier. Meaning only the front and/or rear of the car is exposed. And its so far over and deep into the parking space.. that someone would definitely have to purposely hit it to do so.

Yes there is a small 6-10 inch encroachment there. Not done on purpose though unlike the OP, and if someone had parked directly opposite me and hit my front end it would have been my fault, and my fault alone.

And yet another quality post from a quality member of society. Seems like you're perhaps the type of scumbag that would key a car that parked like this

On Offense Intended

I don't understand why people park like morons, attract unwanted attention to their car and then get surprised when people screw with their cars. And these punks even gave you a WARNING that they were likely up to no good.

I always park out in the boonies but I only take up one spot. There were quite a few times where I'd park way out there and I'd hve no choice but to pick a spot next to another car. If I had a choice between parking next to the average grocery getter or putting my Tacoma next to a Vette it was the Vette every time. Less likely to get door dinged by a Vette

What I need to do, or not do, from now on:

[1] Don't park across multiple parking spaces, that only draws attention to your car.

[2] Get an "Attorney At Law" license plate frame.
