Where do you park your Z

kenchan

i take my dd... fit it in the tightest of parking spots even next to a $200K car.

It depends on where I am and what is available, but I now park in the middle grounds of any parking lot I go in since someone always parks right next to you if you try to go as far away as possible but I refuse to park in the ding zone. At school, I park in a lesser known parking lot which means my car is the only one there for weeks at a time.

In my private garage when I'm at home, in my my private garage when I'm at my office building and far, far away from everyone else when I'm anywhere else. There simply are way too many thoughtless people in filthy, dented vehicles, who have no idea of concern for a car, around these parts.

I can't stand that sh*t. Don't take up 2 spots. A note on your window was the easy and inexpensive ticket out today. Tomorrow you might get someone like me who will make you call the tow truck just to get home.

Food for thought.

what we need is one of these...

You take you parking spots on purpose here in VA/DC, your car will likely get keyed. That's simply asking for trouble.. You don't drive a Bugatti bro, grow up

Wow! I didn't mean to

I've had my Z for all of a week and still think of it like I'm driving a Bugatti.

As you may have read earlier I felt that I'd gotten a few responses that didn't agree with my methods...enough for me to reconsider my actions.

My preferred spot is the end of the row, so I can park all the way to one side of the space. If I'm going somewhere that I know parking is really bad, I'll take my work car.

This! Also a lot of times at various places the end spot has a little extra room. I almost always park this way in this spot (or away from where anyone else parks) when I go into work:



Basically the positions are angled and there is extra room on the end spot. The top line is a wall (part of the parking structure) and the right line is a partition which isn't very tall (just a few inches).

Parking like that doesn't take up an extra spot and it keeps my car far away from the other cars that park next to me (I can open my door all the way without hitting them so that is generally the case with them as well.

I was actually pissed because I got a nasty gram from the building about 'parking outside of the lines' or some crap. Its really ridiculous as that is obviously meant for people who end up taking up two spots or are going into another persons spot but I am just using the extra space that no one can park. I was very annoyed by that.

People who take up two spots annoy me. There is really no valid reason to do that. If you take up two spots far enough back where no-one parks then why even take up two spots in the first place? I have left a note on someones car before because they parked so close to me (when all the other spots were empty) that I could *barely* get into the car but never even bothered with people who are just being ******** and aren't affecting me directly.

In my apartment complex's parking lot, I try to park next to my parents' or my sister'a car so I'm at least safe from one side. In store/mall parking lots, I try to park far away or next to other Z's

Jordo!

Honestly, the more obvious effort one puts into attempting to protect their car, the more likely some random dingleberry will fvck with you.

I try to park next to other reasonably nice, non-dented cars or next to a wall/divider so I only have to deal with one person on one side of me.

I'll go and park at the end of the lot if I'm in a crowded place, or there's likely to be drunken people wandering about.

Otherwise, if there's one nearby, I'll go for a parking garage.

However, if I were you, I would NOT take up two spots -- that is like putting a "kick me" sign on your back...

I was going to start a new thread, but this kind of relates to this subject. I normally park far away enough at my train stop for work so that noone parks next to me and on my left is the curb. I pull through the spot so I can just pull away when I leave.

So Friday I get to my car and there is a parking ticket on it, so i'm immediately like WTF, I park in the same spot every day for like 6 months. I read the ticket and it says " TAKING UP 2 PARKING SPOTS " so I"m still like WTF!.... I look at my car and when I pulled through the spot, I left my back bumper about 3 inches over the white line, but there was a car in the spot I was allegedly taking up. So yeah, I took a picture and appealed it immediately, but if you take up 2 spots (or even if you don't), you might not only get keyed or a sticky on your car, you might also get a ticket.

I have heard and read thing like this for many years. When I was a member of the corvette forum things like this came up all the time. One thing that I have learned is that no matter what you drive Ferrari, 370Z you are in a car that already attracts attention. Just remember no matter wear you park up close or the last spot in the lot, only take up ONE spot. You will be just OK.
