Default Ideal parking space (big pics)

Hi guys, I only took one picture of my car the first couple of days, it was my odometer after I used 1/8 of a tank of gas on my new IS, which was delivered by flatbed truck to my work parking lot from a dealership 1,000 miles away.

The first thing I had to decide was how best to strategically park it at the office. I've got such a good setup at work that I had to share it. My brother's old Civic that never moves is next to me! I'm in the row furthest from the buildings, which is only 2 rows from the offices. Now I'm sharing the second picture I've taken of my car, along with the odometer shot.

PS: This is my first thread.

i usually park far from everything, but you still have pick a good ideal location to park your car. One day it was really windy and I parked my car far while I went to go buy some groceries. When I came back to my car. there was a shopping cart pushed up against my car and I got a ding from it. i'll be getting PDR soon. just don't be a jack*** and park taking up three parking spaces.

17" wheels???? How did you manage that? I thought 18" were an 'automatic' upgrade.

I was able to add the Premium Package after the special order AWD went to the factory, but the dealer said no dice to the 18" wheels on the AWD. They'd have to put 2 sets of fronts on it, because you cannot go staggered on the AWD. I really like the 17" wheels. I have grown away from 18" chromes I almost bought on ebay for summer use. That was a good "no call."

no offense to some people but i always try to park beside a decent looking car...that has no dings or dents or any damages to their car that may be caused by accident...just worried that they might not care about other cars and just slam the door open...ohhh at santa monica college...my friends experienced it LOTS of times...lucky me i guess..
