Default Found a friend

Drove my C8 to work this morning. Parked the car, looked out the window a few minutes later and it seems my 'Vette found a new friend...

That's cool. I'll park beside another Corvette if I happen upon one.

That picture brought a smile to my face for another reason. I see you're parked in a regular space but I see a Silverado parked in the end space all the way by the curb so the "exposed" side (driver's) is as far away from the next vehicle over as possible

Horrors! You're also next to a Lexus of some sort!

There must be some type of "etiquette" in your parking lot. The truck next to the Silverado seems to be pretty far over toward it leaving space for his door with respect to the C7. And more than enough for the Silverado.

I wish I could drive mine to work when I eventually get mine. Although the garage I park in is filled with doctors high end luxury cars and SUV,s they have no consideration for other vehicles. The condition of many is appalling. You appear to be in great company.

Nice to have friends at work. Sounds like a caravan in the making. At least it looks as if your parking spots are large enough.

So, did you get to meet the driver of the C7? Nice that the other drivers appear to be considerate when it comes to how they park.

Even the guy in the SUV was considerate:

He could have parked a little closer...

The silver vette is likely a cougar. These intergenerational "friendships" seldom work out well.
