i really dont care as long as it's not a close spot by the entrance.

and that ferrari...what a wuss. if you're gonna take up more than one spot, park it in the middle. they **** me off even more than people who completely take up two spots.

what really irritates me more than ppl taking up multiple spots are those people who put their emergency on and load their grocery right by the door b/c it's cold/lazy. And they usually do it right where it's do not park for fire engines and walkways.

4) Not really, just CLEARLY showing this is NOT a coincidence, looking at the pics I post.

You are the SAME guy that said the new Pilot looks good and we all said it looks like crap and well, a press release was just added that shows, well it is crap.

You=no credibility. Me= Member approved and proven.

I really don't see anything wrong with that. It looks like you have equal amount of space between you and the land Over in front of you, and looks like you have dictate the position of his parking if he parked after you did.

I think you just hate HONDAs.

Calling it like I see it. Your internet credibility extends as far as your prejudice against Hondas, and apparantly to people who like Honda designs as well. Your belief that I own a Honda, and am therefor on "this guy's" side whoever the hell he is and why I care about his side (would this be the honda side?) also speaks volumes.

IMO, taking two parking spaces is the worst parking situation to be in, simply because it paints a big red bullseye on your car. Haters aim for the bullseye. I would actually feel safer parking between two SUV's

Well coming out of the movies a few weeks ago, in a very very crowded parking lot in Southern California, my friends and I noticed a nice brand new Brabus Mercedes SLR double parked. This thing was HOT. I guess he felt like parking really really close to the front, taking up two spots, because of the car he drives. He could have parked in the back, or just taken one spot, especially for how packed it was, but he didnt. As I'm checking out his car, I notice the drivers side window. The amount of spit and lugies on it was beyond disgusting. No permanent damage, but he'll get the point. I didnt spit and would never do that, its totally wrong, but I bet he thought twice about that before doing that again...

And I was also wondering when i could post this around here.

I dont know if she was just a bad parker or what, but wow. And take a look at the X5, what are they doing
