Was there anything wrong with your car?

If not, laugh about it and roll away. Think of him as a Guardian...for that side of your Z.

Ahh try to laugh it off. As long as there was no damage to your car. Same thing happen to me at a shopping center. I parked FAAAAARRR away and someone in a Sequoia had to park next to me. But..he left some space and I just assumed that he wanted to park there to admire the car a bit.

No harm...no foul. At least he didn't park on your driver side and leave you like 2 inches of space.

A guy that lived in the apartment complex I lived in owned a Jetta, and would park dead center between two spaces. Of course, at night, this meant zero parking spots.

So, one day he just got finished detailing his car...and I roll my truck up 1" off his mirror on his drivers door, then get out, get in my girlfriend's car, and park it 1" off his passenger door. I also moved the dumpster over in front of his car.

To say he was a little ticked, is an understatement. Of course, I'm not a small fella, and he wasn't all that anyway...lot of "words". I got him to shut up for a minute and told him to park like regular people, and if I'm next to you, you have nothing to worry about - and with all the crap you called me, I could have decided to key the **** out of it instead and you'd never know. "But I gotta go to work, I don't have time for this shi..." "But I gotta come home from work, and I don't have the energy to deal with this shi..."

Guy never did it again.

Ironic part, I'm 10x worse than that guy with my Z now.

Maybe the store was REALLY busy for a really short time??

I don't see how that's being an *******. For one, he gave you plenty of room (even with you being parked off-center). Second, the lot could have been busier earlier in the day when he came and parked.

Did you reach underneath the car and feel for heat radiating from the engine block by any chance? You know, just to get a feel for how long he was parked...

to answer the questions, no nothing was wrong with the car. And no, the store was not busy. I work overnight 12 am to 8 am. the rest of the plaza is closed, and even business in our store is VERY slow at that time. the parking lot is always this empty and stays like that till 9 or 10 am. in fact most other days the lot is usually even emptier than what the pics show.

no that car wasn't parked there for too long. it's not one of the employees. might have been a customer though i'm not too sure.

the part about him being an *** is not that he didn't leave a sufficient gap between our cars, but rather that he just had to park right beside me when he had so much room and such an empty parking lot. in fact he parked in the middle of the lot. whatever his destination was, as you can see in the pics there were many spaces available much closer to wherever he was going. in fact that is precisely the reason i park in the middle of the lot, to avoid other cars parking beside me and possibly scratching or denting my car (which is precisely what happened with the dayshift pharmacist's brand new subaru impreza)

Apparently when you buy a 370Z it doesn't give you special privileges in any public parking lot?It is the risk we all take when parking in a public lot!So be greatful that your car had no dents or scratches!

It has nothing to do with special privileges. It has everything to do with just being courteous to someone else. No one is going to bitch or complain if someone parks next to you when the lot is full or when it means they can get to the door faster, that's pretty normal.

Parking right up next to someone (especially when they have a coupe) when there are other viable options is just a **** move.

It has nothing to do with a sense of entitlement or anything. Consider it like opening a door for someone. You don't have to do it, but it is a nice thing to do -- and chances are you are an *** if you just slam a door in someones face. :V

Meh... you can park anywhere you want without being an ******* as long as you park in the center of your lane. People who park off-center or on the lines are d-bags.

If that Explorer was on the line right next to his Z, sure, I'd be like "what a ****." But he was parked dead center and there was PLENTY of room between his car and the Z, which was not quite centered.

No harm done.

Especially when they have a coupe? As opposed to what? Do coupes deserve more respect than another type of car? Or someones $140,000 porsche panerama is less substantial than a $38,000 Z coupe? I think we should just respect other peoples property period.

Me personally I wouldn't do what the explorer did. But if I had to bet on it. I would say it was his 1st time seeing a Z up close and he/she was deeply admiring it.

I bet if it was some hot azz chic and pharmacist went out and saw some DD's danglin over his ride and she was the owner of the explorer. I bet he'd be all head swole with pics of the sexxxy girl that had to park next to his ride and a thread about how he got the digits.
Lol...
Honestly this thread would've been a lot more interesting if it went that way.
