I'm thinking that's not going to happen.

Can't judge a book by the cover. Use to have a pinto that looked just as bad only it had one red fender to replace a white one that had fallen off due to rust. Car ran well and would start after sitting at the airport parking after several weeks. We used it to get from the Airport after we flew in to go to our boat for the weekend.


Great fun to see the looks on people faces when we would park next to there high dollar cars when eating a nice restaurants. It was also great for getting around town. Pull up to an intersection in it and people would wave you thought not wanting to challenge such a battle harden vehicle.

 

HAHAHA, , great solution, Thanks for the laughs!

 

The nail that sticks out, gets hammered, right?

Want to be treated normally? Park normally. Want to be made into a spectacle? Park in the middle of nowhere.

I see new Camaros, Mustang GTs, even A Hyundai Veloster take up 2, 3, or 4 parking spots, because they think it's the greatest thing ever, and they don't want to mix up their cars with 'normal' cars.

There are people out there who feel a NEED to put individuals who appear to put themselves superior to others in their place. This is why keying happens, stereotypes, etc... There are ways to park. But as in everything in life - there is risk. Some is acceptable risk, to some. Others may not agree.

 

That is awesome!! It's funny that I have more money in each of my three diesel 4x4's than the 911 and people stay away from the trucks but always try to crowd the 911.

 

For all you know that owner works at that mall and parks every day in the spot you're occupying. So with you in it, he took the one next to it. Lots of people like to park away from others. It's not limited to "nice car" drivers.

 

Steve O, you're grasping for straws that don't exist. The craziest stretch I've ever heard.

Yeah right ... Happened to cross the parking lines to get super close too I suppose??

I'd like to see your face if it was your car.

 

Had to laugh but obviously very bothered. It's not the act, but the pretentiousness that's most disturbing here. I do pick my spaces carefully, but mostly so they're uphill of any wandering shopping carts which aren't returned to the pen (which would be quite a few these days thanks to lazy effing Americans). But you're right, I wouldn't be happy about it. But as soon as I was on my way again it's forgotten about. And I certainly don't want to relive it over and over.

 

So true, same here.

 

I work with a retired LtCol who is pretty high up on my corporate tree, that drives a 30 year old red truck "Big Red", that the windows are never rolled, up, as rusty as can be.

He hunts, camps, etc..., and that is his daily beater. He never crowds anyone, but - he likes his 'spot'. Although your statement is a stretch, it isn't outside the realm of possibility. Your premise is right, though - making assumptions can get us into trouble.

I do agree, however, that this is copy-cat behavior from the Jeep/Vette fallout.
