theres no reason to double park imo. if you park far enough away you wont have a problem. not to mention all your doing is bringing more attention to yourself.

is this the "full of excuses" thread? everybody is an idiot, except when you guys do it? ten empty spaces but you cant get you car into one?

that fiat is as nice of a car to its owner as your car is to you.

Not true though. On numerous occasions, especially at places like Walmart, no matter how far back i park, someone will park right next to me. With my old car, someone parked next to me and door dinged me even, and i was parked at least 15 spaces away from the next closest car -_-

To ME there are no excuses for double park. I hate it when I see that even though I don't do anything to these cars because it is even worst trying to mess others' property. I DO think of those double park as a selfish and low life.

If you're worry too much about your nice car getting dinged then find a parking way at the END and park or better yet leave your car at home and walk.

my reasoning is if you park away from everyone else there wouldnt be a reason to take up two lanes

Well if you take up one space and get door dinged because the guys an a-hole, what do you think someone who sees you take up two spaces is going to do?

I remember my brother saw my car parked in the mall parking lot in the parking lot. I didn't park over the line but he pulled his car next to mine literally inches from touching and went inside to shop. I had to get in my car from the passenger side.

Would you guys make a exception with this lol? I wouldn't.
