Are you sure?

@ OP: Nice! Hopefully all members of the "no door ding" club.

That thread you saw may have been mine?

It's quite interesting and funny to see your pic... Z - Camaro - Mustang. Same order as what happened to me at work.

wilsonp · 04-15-2011, 05:32 PM

I'm still looking for the other sports cars?

I remember that picture too. It was really funny because the Z, Camaro and Mustang were all blue.

I a$$ park (aka enthusiast park) too, because I'm an enthusiast, and it's cool to do so. You're just making excuses for poor driving skills. LOL!

Yeah, but those two pony cars really know how to haul.

I'm usually parked next to one since my garage is loaded with high end cars.

I was thinking the same thing. That Chevy is about 6" too far left. I mean directionally, not politically.

Still, I would be relieved to find other car entusiasts parked next to me. When I'm at work, here are my options:
Lexus SUV, driven by a dude who doesn't realize he's driving a chic car, and has white paint from his garage door frame on every panel.
Ford Ranger. At least he knows how to split the uprights.
Toyota Solara. Driven by a middle aged woman who, despite still sporting snow tires, knows how to park.
Buick somethingorother. Driven by a guy who is about 25. Has no idea what he is doing. Parking or otherwise.
Audi A4 S. Driven by a cutie patutie. Don't care how she parks.
Honda Odyssey mini van. This driver doesn't even seem to know that there are lines. Most likely a former Hippee who thinks parking lots are vast spaces representing the ignorance of the human spirit. Just a guess

Actually I park my car intentionally a few inches on the left as people get out of the cars from the left side of the car... less chance for getting dings.

ofcourse doesnt help if the car on the left has passengers but its a 50%+ chance they dont

Ron · 04-15-2011, 08:44 PM

If there's a 50% chance they don't then there's a 50% chance they do so we're screwed anyway lol. I also park towards the left.

Hambone1 · 04-15-2011, 09:48 PM

It seems like it's more often the rice/tuner crowd who park next to me when I'm way out. Usually an Integra, Civic, or the like with the obligatory mods to make it super cool bro
