Allow me to vent - people parking just to P&$% YOU OFF!!

This is normal, all over the globe... I once parked on the 5th floor at a mall in a far corner, and guess what, some SUV decided to park right besides me...

 

Um, it may not be as bad as you think.

1) The guy might have appreciated your car, and wanted a closer look.

2) I parked my Camry next to a 456 the other day on purpose because I wanted a closer look, and I figured with me there, no one could dent the Ferrari, even though it wasn't mine.

Glad your ride survived the day.

Unless he parked like an ass, no need to get bent out of shape. I've puposely parked next to plenty of cars to protect one side of theirs and one side of mine.

I parked next to a 350z, I come out 5 minutes later and the guy moved his car. Talk about a lunatic, ocd, little *****.

Quite being so anal, life's too short. And please use paragraphs. It's a pain in the ass reading a jumble of words.

 

If you want a closer look at it you could have left a space in between....no? .

 

Seriously it's a car. If you are afraid to drive it or leave it in public places, then just leave it at home. People need to worry less. I use my Ferrari and Lambo as daily drivers. I'll park them in a full lot, never had an issue.

 

Take a deep breath, it's going to be okay.

 

I could park on the dark side of the moon, and inside of ten minutes there'd be two lunar rovers parked next to me. ...
... one with a damaged fender.

I think people hope their cars will learn something.

 

Dang! sorry I parked next to you...just wanted to look at your car.

 

Buy insurance and enjoy your car...

 

Sounds like you parked so far away from the restaurant you ended up in the employee lot

Funny!

 

I like it.

 

Your 1000% right but we work so hard for our money in most cases, it's nice to see people want to care for them.

LOL....Stop calling the kettle black and learn how to spell It's "quit" and "purposely" It's a bigger pain in the ass reading miss spelled words. Braaaahahaha

 

As others have posted, he may have been trying to protect you car. Since you found it to be ding-free, I'd guess that was his intention. I always try to park on the end and when I can't, I park between two nicer cars. Pick sports cars, because they are usually driven by car guys. Do not park next to Mercedes or BMW sedans unless they are modified. Those are leased by people in a hurry who don't give a crap about anyone else (or so I have found).

 

If the biggest trouble you'll ever face is somebody deciding to park his ugly car next to you, then you must have a real easy life.

Now, IF he'd banged it, or even parked so close that you couldn't open the driver's door. . .

 

I had this happen at work, when I drove the elise in. The freaking axxhole parked so close I could not open the drivers side door wide enough to get in. The car was not hurt in any way, but I was in a skirt and getting in on the passage side and crawling over the e-brake and gear shift was not fun.

I think people are just clueless, they pay no attention to how close they park on the passage side especially then they have no passages to worry about. Or just pissed off that you have a nice car and they do not. I think the other thing people do not to realize is that most of the exotics have wide/ long doors and in order to get in, we need greater distance between car, then they might think (if they think), lambos' excluded.

 

Yep. I will often park the wife's minivan (POS looking Odyssey) where I know I can protect a fellow car-guy's ride. The kids CANNOT touch you, since the doors slide. Plus, my kids know better. And then you are safe (well, 1/2 safe). 'Course, you aren't going to know it, you'll think a clueless soccer mom with a brood of misfits whipped in and set her mug on your roof while banging her purse against your mirror as she searched for her ringing cell phone.

What can you do, you gotta drive, so you gotta take your chances!

 

Exactly.

Or you can do what Jay Leno is quoted as saying he does: Only use the real exotics for round trip drives, and never park anywhere.

 

I parked next to an aston martin here in northern VA a couple months ago who had clearly been trying to keep his car away from the others. The guy may have been irked, however I did it so no one else would park there and ding him as the lot was filling up. I appreciate cars...sometimes people may actually be doing you a favor though I'm sure it's rare.

 

Enjoy your car and be thankful you don't have to travel in a rusted Audi.

It doesn't help the rep of F car owners to look at it the way you do. Them world already thinks we're all arrogant. If the Audi owner or others saw/heard your reaction, they'll be sure to park real close to all of our cars in hopes up causing that ding.

 

Two ways to deal with guys who park too close.

1. Ignore them. After all, you're leaving and your car is unharmed. (Even if you had to crawl in from the passenger side to gain entry without dinging your door.

2. Carry a small bag of birdseed in your trunk. Someone parks too close, as you're leaving sprinkle birdseed on his windshield all along the wipers. The birds will take care of the rest. You'll feel better, and no permanent harm done
