i thought the side spot was a smart idea, till i met college.

my friend got her car swipped along the side. lol

graider · 09-14-2009, 11:02 PM

yeah, those spots are not safe. i usually find a spot that is in the middle and has a wall or something on the back.

zenderm3 · 09-14-2009, 11:22 PM

lol - nice I'm sure many of us do that!

biglare · 09-14-2009, 11:22 PM

End Spots are KEY!

I'll make a couple of hot laps while looking for one.
Definitely by a curb or wall is the best.

Gotta fold in the mirrors too!

spyderco10 · 09-15-2009, 01:40 AM

haha nice. people think i'm weird for parking so far away

i should have taken a picture, but a few weeks ago I went up to Woodbury commons in Harriman, NY. I parked in a relatively freed up area....no cars on either side of me.

Come back, (my car is SSII mind you)...silver X5 on the left of me, silver 528i on the right, and next to the silver 528i, another silver 328i.

I wish I had snapped a pic....i thought it was awesome

LOL...I parked the other day in a corner next to an M6 (also JB) and behind us, in the other corner were a JB 335 and a JB X5...it was awesome.

The X5 and 335 owners had just parked and as we walked away from our cars, looking back and smiling, we caught a glimpse of one another and gave the discreet head shake, acknowledging each others ride.

NICE!!

IND-Distribution · 09-15-2009, 04:21 PM

I always park far away. It's so strange when people complain about the walk to the store, too. It's not that hard to walk a few extra feet, is it?

Sry for such a bump, but id luv to hear more smiliar stories or catch a few more pics of these legit situations!

tudernos · 09-09-2010, 04:21 AM

I always try to park far away like BFE from everybody where ever I go but it always ends up someone parking next to me. I understand if it's a nice car but it's not.

+1. Totally the way to do it when all the good parking spots are gone.
