Where do you park your Z

haggomyeggo

I pretty much always back in. However at work I usually park at the end of the row with a curb on one side and a spot on the other. The space I use for this used to get parked in my some **** investment guy who works upstairs for Huntleigh. Now he parks his POS lincoln in the space next to mine. at least be backs in too and leaves plenty of space between our cars. He is still a **** for the way he acts.

And he wears too much old spice

Taking up two spots is the biggest douche move you can do with a car. Every time I see this, it's always someone with a car that really isn't worth very much.

Wow so many people hating on the poor OP

Parking close and taking two spots, that a no-no. Taking two spots in a city like DC/NYC or where space is at a premium, no-no.

But I use to live out in North Carolina, where the parking lot had 200 spots for 30 cars, and i would take up 2 spots at the back back end where the wildlife roamed. **** move? I guess, but really I wasn't taking a spot from anyone, and I was so far out probably noone even saw :P

but then, why bother taking two spots?

2 spots = baller status

As the OP, I really have been thinking that I should have just kept my thoughts to myself..... I certainly didn't expect to be considered the biggest douche-bag this side of the Mason/Dixie...and to your point..I don't live in DC, nor do I live in New York. Hell, I don't even live in Central Florida... I live on the east coast of Florida and, as stated in the opening post, "I generally park out beyond the mass populous".

So, in closing, my much-hated-upon douche-bag self will retain the space of a single spot....but in the far far regions of the galaxy where nobody will be offended by my Z34's presence.

It's not a **** move, it's just lame and everyone who sees your car parked like that thinks you're a douche. Your car isn't an exotic, it's a 370Z.

When I'm out in the suburbs driving around for work, I always see this STI parked way out in the corner of this lot, sideways across two spots. This is not a lot where parking spots are at a premium, so he isn't stealing a spot from anyone. Every time I see this car, I think:

1. I wonder if that guy knows that everyone in that building thinks he's a douche for parking his car like that?
2. Nobody cares about your stupid STI, brah.

You know those Miller Lite commercials where the guy always get called out by the hot female bartender? The two-space parker is like one of those guys.

i always park far away and i try to park next to a median thing if possible, so then theres only 1 side of my car that someone can park next to. sometimes i take a chance if theres no choice and i can get next to a nice car where you would probably assume they would go out of their way to be careful.

I would never take up 2 spots upfront. People get pissed at that crap and might even key your car because your being inconsiderate. I always park in the back but like a normal person, no need to take up two spots if no one was going to use them in the first place.

I once saw a H1 parked at a Wholefoods taking up two spots upfront in a very crowed parking lot. I'm sure a few prius owners walking by it kept their keys out as they walked by.

bartender: more taste or less taste?

OP: i dont care i gotta 370Z

bartender: ok well come back when you move your small japanese hatchback out of the 3 spaces with cones placed around it and I will give you a real beer

for the record i think miller sucks BL smoothies all the way

i personally wouldn't care too much seeing a 370z double parked, as long as it is pretty nice. i just really hate seeing those huge escalades and hummer double parked. its like, yeah you spent 50k on a giant house on wheels, but your still a total douche. i prob just cut Zs more slack cause i really like them.

wheee!

I keep the car running and stay in it while the wife runs in and gets what we need... no parking!!!!
(If I have to park somewhere public, I take the MKX... lol)

Plan A: Park far away. One spot. Hopefully near a curb.
Plan B: Park next to another performance car. Mutual respect.
Plan 3: Sorry. I got nothin.
