Proverbs 14:3 A fool's talk brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.

How do you know the guy in the truck wants to teach you a lesson?
Maybe the guy in the truck really likes his truck and figured that parking next to a shiny sports car is a safe bet. His truck looks shiny and brand new from what I can see in the pic. Is he driving alone? If yes, then his passenger side door won't be opening towards your car, and unless you're a fat-a**, you have plenty of room to get in your car.
Chill out. It's not worth getting worked up over. You'll be dead by the time you're 30 if you keep up this stress level.

Good point but this is cool if it has been pre arranged with a parking buddy :)

it sounds crazy but i hear woman are now carrying a small can of wasp spray instead of pepper spray. it will spray from 20 feet away. one hit of that stuff in the face will get the job done.

Wasp spray for self defense is a bad idea. Stick with the Pepper Spray. Wasp spray is unproven and has never been tested on humans. Wasp Spray will NOT work on those who cannot feel pain i.e. drugs or alcohol. Pepper Spray is an inflammatory which will cause the eyes to slam shut no matter the situation. That’s why over 40,000 law enforcement agencies carry it nationwide and even the smallest canisters will fire 10 ft while the larger will canisters will fire 25 to 30 ft.

That was actually my first thought. The guy in the truck knows you're concerned with your car, so he figures that there's no chance you'll mess it up and anyone parking next to him would have to really try to hit his truck. Where I live, parking spaces are very often extra narrow because parking is at such a premium. You'll often see a few cars parked oddly like that where they're all just trying to avoid door dings.

The guy who used to park next to me (before I had my Z) in my garage used to park really close to me. Backing my car into my space made the most sense and he would pull forward into his space. His passenger seat was all covered with stuff, so you knew that nobody was ever getting out of that side of his car, so I never worried about it.
