I'd think it does sort of make you a target. The haters are thinking "Just cause you drive an expensive car makes you think your better than us. You can't park next to us poor people."

Allright here's my perspective.. Yes I drive a civic it's actually sort of a rare one, as far as Hondas go.. I'll park next to P-cars, Vettes, Vipers, M series and the such. It's cause I know the driver isn't going to ding me and there is NO way that I'm hitting any of them..

I've been doing it for over two years and haven't had a problem yet. It might just have something to do with the commonality of 911's in San Diego as opposed to areas of the US where a Porsche 911 is rare.

That and possibly the fact I don't shop at Wal (ghetto) Mart or places like that.

Ditto that. Some crackhead, and I seriously mean she looked like a crackhead rams into me this morning in the parking lot. Maybe if she took that smoke out of her hand and opened here eyes she could drive better. Unreal!

It was over in Campbell actually. She tries to swing her POS car which looked like it just came from the demolition derby into the spot next to mine with one hand on the wheel and the other hanging out side with her smoke. I had just got in and all of a sudden I feel this big bounce. I walk out there and she is sitting there not moving, doesn’t even seem cognizant. She says “oh I just hit the tire”. (good thing they are 35” tires, no damage ) No, I’m sorry or anything. I watch her and it takes here forever to get into the parking spot. Not like the lot was full or anything either but she had to squeeze right in next to me.
