guys.... old corolla means that boring stuff from 90's onwards :-))Yeah I park My Scimitar there too when im down there if there are no spaces at the edge of a row
Iv been waiting to get into the Bad parking thread for ages but no such luck
You have definitely right to park your car in any way you want with your fresh paint
(this is from september 2011? ... half year already? jeeeez, time goes by so fast...)
Why? Because I CAN

Why? Because I CAN
Well if I came across someone parked between two spaces right outside a supermarket you'd be inclined to find my car up on the kerb and 1 inch from your driver's door.
Either that, or parked across the back your car. I often take 2 spaces, but I go as far away from the entrance as I can, where there are plenty of spaces.0 -

You can do that of course, but then I don't think you would drive your car far with empty tyres ... can you imagine yourself realizing a simple fact, that your smart move was actually the dumbest decision of the day :cool: ? ...
This was some lazy afternoon when the car park was half empty (and these parking spaces are just too small... which means I rather leave space for my passenger and I won't be worried in the shop that some stupid washed idiot will slam his door to my beloved Scimitar - and believe me, if I will see somebody doing anything to that car I'm ready to break bones), so no need for unnecessarily stupid behaviour. And... are we talking just about parking right?
Do you own a classic car just btw.? If so, you would maybe understand that it is not only about showing off, but there is also a safety reason.0 -
Re: most of the above, I doubt you're serious but if you are I'd get rid of the car because you'll end up getting fined / convicted a lot, which will make owning it a fiscally impossible proposition.
Wow, half the spaces empty outside a supermarket? - can't say I've found that (ever) myself :rolleyes:
It doesn't matter what I drive ... absolutely doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with the point I was making, and I'm not going to get into a penis measuring contest with you, but thanks anyway
It's more likely someone will damage your car out of belligerence than anything if they find that there are 'no' spaces and you're taking two right outside a particular establishment ... can't be walking between aisles and watching the car too
Last but not least, and while I go along with the parking business under the circumstances outlined in my OP, I wouldn't get too hot and bothered. What I've always found happens is that while you're thinking one thing something else happens ... like a skip lorry reversing into the car when no one's around.
The only truly safe way to own a car is not to drive it at all (even then it could be hit by a stray meteor, mind you)0 -

2 ahal:
Is releasing air from tyres a crime? Well, I wouldn't be surprised, because in this country everything is possible.
I suppose I should take more pictures next time just in case somebody on internet would need them as a proof, that the car park was almost empty.
You don't get the point I was trying to make with that question (and it is definitely not: I have an old car, you don't). If you would own an old car, which you like and is something you really enjoy to drive, you would probably understand what I meant. It is like taking care of your child. Child can be harmed on every corner anywhere (like a car), and to prevent that, you will make sure to minimalize the risk (which includes to park the car over two spots).
Yes, parking the car in the dumbest possible way is not clever, but it is even more stupid to think about blocking or creating even more idiotic situation than it was already created by a driver who wants to make sure his old car won't be damaged by an average washed driver (which doesn't care about anything parked next to him).0 -

? I never mentioned whether I do or not

That anyone who doesn't own an old car is worthy of lesser consideration because you don't want your car scratched?It is like taking care of your child.

.... looking like that alright.Yes, parking the car in the dumbest possible way is not clever, but it is even more stupid to think about blocking or creating even more idiotic situation than it was already created by a driver who wants to make sure his old car won't be damaged by an average washed driver (which doesn't care about anything parked next to him).
Quite clearly you're saying that because you own an older car your needs are superior to the average 'unwashed driver' (presume 'washed' is a typo) ... so your rights on the roads are different because you drive an older car Sorry, but I don't respect that and I suspect that most people wouldn't. That's why we get so much road rage. 0 -
