Venting: Average car owner doesn't care...

Nismoracer · 05-18-2011, 10:36 PM

Nothing wrong with parking where no one parks. It doesn't show your too good, it shows you care about your car. I only drive my car for pleasure. Have a truck that I drive everywhere and your right.....people do not care. Its almost like they think they don't have to respect anything anymore. And def don't park next to big trucks and mini vans

Personally, when I see a really nice car parked out away from the unwashed-masses, I think "Good for them". At least when they're parked in a spot like normal people. When they park sideways across multiple spots, I still think they're a douche.

i kinda thought that too when i park at work. but luckily for me, i pretty much only deal with 2% of the people that work here so i just don't give a crap what they think about where i park. i would imagine most probably don't care, but it they do think its snobby for me to park far then ill just let them keep thinking that.

I am superbly disappointed, no one gives a damn about anyone else's car. I have always been very careful with other people's belongings, including cars, long before I even owned a vehicle of my own.

Damn it...

You care too much about people's feelings. If you didn't worry so much that some little bitch would start whining about how you are "too good" to park near him, none of this would have happened.

Seriously though, the average person isn't an attractive thing. Avoid them when possible. You learned a good lesson, and it wasn't TOO expensive given other possible ways of learning the same thing.

Go hang out with other successful people. Park near the ///M or AMG or Z06 or GT-R or other 370Z owner at work.

Bad thing is many of those guys with nice cars really don't give a sh*t either, have seen it all too many times. Just last week while sitting enjoying my Pastrami Sandwich I saw a guy parked in front of me in his newer Lexus LS open his door wide and hit the parked RAV4 next to it and kept on stepping into the food joint.......

The Lexus LS isn't an enthusiast car. It's a mommymobile/rich old man's crown-vic. You need to park near an enthusiast. Not just some mommy/grandpa with money.

There was an accident at my workplace parking lot over the winter. The lot had frozen over after some freezing rain, and some girl in a POS VW or something slid out of control on her all seasons while driving fast into a parking spot. She struck a car, which hit another car that also hit a van. You would think that you drive real slow in freezing rain conditions, it's not like the parking lot was NOT obviously covered in two-inch thick ice.

Meanwhile I'm parked way at the end of the lot with at least 5 - 6 car spaces on either side of me, rain or shine, no matter what.

The parking lot at my work is shared with the DMV. It's always full. I cross my fingers every day.
