I would most definitely park next to them. At least then you don't have to worry about ONE side of the car getting dinged! Seriously, I don't leave mine alone in a parking lot like that too often.

I always park next to another Vette, if they are parked out away from other folks. And then, I will leave a space next to it whenever possible. If they are parked in the crowd where my car will be at (extra) risk, fugettaboutit !

Yes, if my other side of the car is also protected by a nice car or a non-parking space. One side protected is not enough. Otherwise, I park away still.

I do this with my mustang too, not just my corvette.

Never see any, even hard pressed to see them on the road during summer time.

No…because everyone knows no smart corvette owner parks up front. Us smart ones park in the back 40. 1/4 mile is not far enough.

It's interesting that a lot of members mention protection.

When I asked the question, I was referring more to camaraderie - like two Jeeps or two run-down VW beetles parking next to each other - neither of whom would probably be much concerned over door dings.

For the sake of camaraderie NO.

And when you do see them, they don't do the WAVE...Ed
