I'm downloading the parking turtle. Unfortunately, I think the kind of person who needs that placed on their windshield would not get the reference.

I have parked far from the door to big-box stores with half empty lots and returned to see some jacked-up pickup parked right next to me. Sometimes they will back into the space so their door
opens onto my car. I always give my car a good check and there has never been a dent. My guess is they are just screwing with me...mission accomplished.

I figure if they did hit my car they would move. Years ago I came back to find a huge dent in my new M5 and no car close by. The body guy said that someone really slammed their door into mine to make that big of a dent.

Another problem I have with the jacked-up pickups is owners who leave the trailer hitch on and then park in front of you in a parallel space. There are all of these federal laws regarding bumpers and yet you can drive around with a car-spear on your back bumper. No offense to pickup owners, who I assume are all swell guys.

It must be the season. I came out of a breakfast meeting today to find this a$$hole blocking me in.

I think it was the gods telling me I should have skipped work and driven up the coast with Wayne Smith and David this morning...

I think a goodly number of folks are just plain oblivious when it comes to cars, parking, heck, just life in general...T

Just to add a little humor to the statement No matter how far away you park "they" find you

Back in my 964 days I parked in the middle of nowhere at Auto Club Speedway for my volunteer stint.....


....and 10 min later some GT3 felt the need to park right next to me....


...the nerve of some people

Awesome pic. I love it when a nice car parks next to me because there is usually a mutual respect to be careful etc.

Should have thanked him - he's protecting your driver side.

LOL - couple of years back I was buying fuel stabilizer before putting the car away for the winter. I pull into the car park and see a nice GT3 parked all by itself. I pull my Carrera respectfully in next to it.
When I got to the checkout there was a guy buying stabilizer in the lane next to me, as we left he was peering across the car park at his car. I jokingly remarked 'I think we are doing the same thing today' - he looked a bit confused until I said 'I'm the 997 next to your car'.

He replied 'Oh I couldn't tell it was a Porsche at first glance - I was just thinking 'what a$$hole parked next to me'!!
