It seems just about every time I try this method, the car that parks next to me will not centre their car within the white lines but relative to my vehicle and the next spot. In other words they cheat their asses way over almost intentionally far enough so that any advantage you take is negated. My Z is ding free (knock on wood), I a super paranoid of some careless **** ruining my ding free Z. I'll park way at the back of any lot just to help avoid the asshats.

I hate that $hit :shakes head: I only park relative to the adjacent car when parking between the lines would put me dangerously close to a car already there. Actually, I generally just drive around looking for another spot.

Valid point but I am not encroaching THAT much into that area. Actually my tire is on the very outer edge of the box. Sure I would not want someone parking that close to the edge if there was another spot next to them but I think I would be safe in this case.

Good point though.

So damn true. Most times when I park way over to the side in a corner spot, some idiot parks over the lines into my space. I parked far over for a reason, and that reason wasn't to give you a place to land wherever you please.

And just this week, in the parking garage at work, the same for me. I was on the end hugging the wall side of my space, but not for the big BMW to park in my space too. Find your own end space.

This garage is on a corporate campus, so if you are parking in it, you work here. I took the pic because the next time it happens I plan to chat with this person's manager.

Bimmer got raped by a fire-hose!!! :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

door dings...there's an app for that.

:bowrofl::roflpuke2: thats actually a great idea for the wally world parking nightmare :rofl2:

...and when your done with it you can just put it in the hatchback cargo area

:iagree: Plus you have plenty of space due to the angle parking spot next to you.

However in case of a fire alarm I would run and get the car and myself the hell out of the parking garage before the fire trucks get there and have the time to...

Because it doesn't matter if you are park right in your spot your car will get some type of damage, because they don't care when there is a fire...

:iagree: I grew up in a family of firemen and I can vouch for the fact that they just don't care about what happens in the heat of a fire call. A chance to go out on a call is like crack to these guys, atleast the ones I've known.

Firemen don't care. I've seen it and it is funny. And actually most states or cities have laws or ordinances against parking next to a fire hydrant. Usually at least 20 or 25 feet away. And if you do park next to one be prepared to possibly not see your car when you get back lol.

:iagree: And it's not that they don't care, it's they can't care.

How can they baby your car when there are lives to safe?? :tiphat:

Here in Canada too, if you park your car next to a fire hydrant on the street, you will get a huge ticket...

That Z is now ready to go to the Waterpark!! :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

...are you... fvcking... KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?!?!?!... Really?! :shakes head:

I feel for you. I will take a pic of my parking spot, and then you can understand the craziness when I tell you about the 1935 mustang POS that parked way over the line and dinged my door anyway... Asshat.
