Official Crappy Parkers Thread

[Fountainhead]

The more room we give them, the more they will take! It's human a**hole nature. We are all stupid.
I ALWAYS park the best that I can, but somehow every time I mentally relax and think "Oh, I'm just being paranoid, it will be OK" something happens. The other day I parked out in the wilderness in the shade of a nice healthy tree. Then when I come out to my car, there's a small tree limb next to it, and yep, you guessed it, new scratches all down the rear window, across the paint on the trunk lid, and across the taillight. I'm just about to stop caring....

I think what really happens is that people aren't looking at the lines, but their spacing in relationship to the adjacent vehicle.

I'm nutty about my new car too. I have to remind myself it's just a car.

Nope - It's an investment, and an expensive one at that. It is also Pride and Joy.

If you have neither, then it's "just a car" (not implying that You don't have neither...)...

Barret Jackson? So, let me see, the fact that you can take your car to the dealership and get as much return for it as possible when purchasing another, is that not an investment?

That's ok. I did not make the statement to convince anyone otherwise. You go ahead and define it in whatever you terms you want to. LOL!
