HAHA...So I am at the GYM and the parking lot is pretty much empty. Parked in the very back so there are about 10 rows in front of me and spots that are open right in front of the entrance. I come out to see this I swear this happens to me way to often

Mike,

It never fails and just happened to me the same way this morning at Micky D's while I was parked far out enjoying my Diet Coke (w/sippy cup). I watched as this behemoth of a truck conveniently decided to park on top of my veeeehhhilce. Luckily no contact, but my blood pressure rose.

P.S. Looks the Gym off of Finley next to Fry's?

yeah i get that all the time too... lol... where i work there's a 28 car slot lined up (that's just 1 row there's like 10 rows) ... a two lane divider from one parking lot tier to the next and about another 6 car lengths to get to that little ol corner where i park... it's like an obstacle to get to the entrance and the first parking lot is never full... i just don't understand it. lol.

What im wondering is why Mike (Passnu2) has a camera at the gym? Mike I think you need to stop packing your camera on the go with you....your becoming obsessed! lol

Or second thought maybe thats just your camera phone....hehehe

Nice rant buddy hehe

you bring attention to your car from when you park that far off from everyone. For me, i just park close but not too close.

Clearly he did that with purpose to mess with you... but nonetheless... lame. Those are situations that, when you have that much lot around you, park slightly diagnol across two spot...

.... premeditated vanity... yet effective!!

Lexus needs to start selling OEM suction cup spikes to apply to our body panels... they can add it to the park assist package.

Very nicely stated and excellent word choices!!!

I especially love the part about: .... premeditated vanity... yet effective!!

Just a personal question for everyone... so when you purposely park far away from people... do you think people tend to notice your car more and are more likely to go over and key it?
