Show and let's rate our "Best Parking Spot"

I figure we follow another site's thread. Why don't you guys post your best parking spot(s).

I figure I'll start: here's mine. No chance for any dings or someone backing out on me. I get this spot 99% of the time. Almost no dust as it's on the 3rd floor.

My best spot ever!

Obviously, let's not post our garages. This thread is for spots at work, churches, malls, etc.

We have 118 views and no post yet. I'll wait till you guys go out tomorrow.

I'm sure City of Beverly Hills, Dow Jones or whoever is affiliated with the bldg structure can easily pay me. On the other hand, everything in Los Angeles would be in wreckage when that ventilation falls on my car.

...until someone actually parks next to you and not staying inside their space. This happens to me once a while.

I am going to assume the white one is either your car or it belongs to someone you know.

I'll bite. Here's my car at work in chronological order with a few others..


It looks like I'm parked over the line (I am) but the spot I'm crowding was closed off for some reason, so nobody could park there.


That 996 also hasn't been moved in about a year... I keep wiping the chalk marks off the tires for this guy so he doesn't get towed.

I like the undercover single parking spot

However, in general I'm not a big fan of people who double park - those people are call a**holes
If you're that concerned with dings, scratches - don't take your car out of your garage/driveway!
