Keep the C43's at home tonight, don't need some inebriated moron crashing into your prized possession, just not worth it. It is never the same afterwards, and when January 1st arrives your car will be flawless.


Take the bus!

a few days ago, i parked in a hotel parking lot, there's plenty of empty spaces. this porsche suv parked next to me, parked pretty close to my car too.
any reasons why some #$%#@ #@ like to park next to other car when there's plenty of empty spaces around ?

Either they don't want their car to be lonely, cannot think for themselves and find a different spot or they want to spite you parking close. People like this bug me to no end.

At least yours is in public. People at my office do this when I choose a far spot with lots of spots around. The dude parks his 2005 Odyssey next to me.

In a crowded lot I'll park the Benz next to other nice cars. Thought being that someone in another luxury car would be more inclined to be careful with their doors than some idiot in a multi-colored 1992 Honda Accord...

FFS those cars **** me, like mini buses and you can bet people are careless with the car next to theirs.

A guy I know owns a 911 Porshce and when people would park literally next to his car when he would park in remote empty places, he would key their key as he was leaving. Hilarious ****.

I hate it when people do this, I swear it's on purpose.

Maybe they know you care about your car and wont bang up theirs?

I used to think the same until I saw a douche in a brand new S550 ding my car by flinging his passenger car door open. I couldn't believe he did it and right in front of me! I yelled at him and he apologized profusely but don't assume just because someone has the money to buy a nicer car that they give a rats *** about anyone else's car.

I wish our parking spaces were that big over here in the UK. We're forced to park much closer together, sometimes it's hard to get in and out of the car at all, but that's when you're being careful. Hence the concern for others that might park next to you and have no care at all.

I park always needing an extra ~5 min walk. I figured I get some more exercise in and I "reduce the probability" of some a-rsehole from denting my car. It wont guarantee but it reduces your odds.

Always get surprised when I see a nice car parked so close in a shopping centre. Everyone now drives mini buses ie SUV and with careless kids those doors are always going to be flung open.

My other vehicle is one of those tanks and I've taught my kids to be careful when opening their doors. They know I'm **** about not dinging other peoples cars because I wouldn't want them to do that to mine. I guess the golden rule doesn't factor into most other parent's thoughts anymore.

a few years ago when i double park to drop off my dad, he flung open the door and bang the parked car. the parked car behind me honk at me.
now when i double park to drop off my dad, i double park farther away from the parked car.
also he doesn't look for incoming car when open door to enter. Now i just go outside the car and open / close the door for him.
