yup! I usually park as far away as I can and park over two spaces if its no packed. In AZ we have massive parking available so people dont get pissy

Looks like he wants to get keyed, with a car like that you shouldn't be shopping in walmart.

It's the trifecta of douchebaggery:

Horrid rims on a RR - taking up 4 spaces - in a Walmart parking lot.

A Walmart Rolls Royce, isn't that a oxymoron?

Don't laugh. You'd be surprised how many people actually think that way. There's a reason why so many jurisdictions have poop-scoop laws for pet-owners.

Gawd awful wheels.

And people should realize that when you park in such ways you're just asking to get keyed. A $400K car keyed can't be good.

If you can afford this car, you should invest in a chauffeur to stand by and guard it in ONE space.

if you have over/under spec tires, then yes, you can get erroneous speedo and odo readings. but if you choose your +1 or +2 wheel/tire combo correctly, you can get the same rolling diameter that are in spec.
