Where do you park your Z
 
I just wanted to get a general consensus here. I came out of a local eatery this evening to find this wedged in my driver's window:

Yes...yes...I'm one of THOSE guys that choose to park in two spaces, but I generally park out beyond the mass populous. Tonight, I will admit I did get a little over-zealous and took up two spaces relatively close...so I can certainly understand why someone might get a little upset. After plunking down some good coin on my Z the LAST thing I want is some door-dinging vehicle slapping their armored 400 lb. door into my Z.

If every person with a 30,000 dollar took up 2 spots we would have a serious parking issue. If ferraris can park in one spot then I sure as hell can.

I always go far out or in a corner where the car is protected. I usually like the long walk anyway and the wife finally doesn't mind either.

I park far away, but only take up one spot. I usually try to snag an edge spot, and squeeze up close to the curb.

I love parking the Z far away from everyone because I enjoy looking at the car as I walk away or towards it. Besides, I figure if someone tries to break into it, they can't be sneaky about it when there's nothing to hide them out in the open.

If I can't be the closest to the door of a restaurant/store then I'll park further away...or around where the employees park which is usually the more dead area of the parking lot and on the side.

Thats hilarious that someone posted that on your car though lol

I think its worst to take up 2 parking spots. People around here key your car if you take up 2 spots :shakes head:

happytheman 03-20-2011 08:47 PM

Duly noted. I do think it's a better option to park in the outer 40 in a single spot so's not to piss anyone off.

Dreezy562 03-20-2011 08:47 PM

ya your lucky all you got was a note on ur window. your very luck they didnt key your car.

kenchan 03-20-2011 08:48 PM

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

christian370z 03-20-2011 09:56 PM

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.

Thank you.

I park far back in the lot because my fat butt needs the walk.

KillerBee370 03-20-2011 10:15 PM

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 a sad, pathetic life to be that uptight. ANYONE keying a car needs to be tied to a pole in a hog pen and covered in peanut butter.
