You don't need chalk. Just take your key and walk along side the Z-car.

That's funny. I can't stand when people do that. I did once pull into a lot where all the cars were skewed like this, I parked in the only spot left (also skewed from the lines) Came out later and there were only a few cars in the lot and I was the only one parked like a tool.... I had a nasty note under my wipers. Never again.

No car deserves that fate, regardless of how big an a$$hole its driver is.

I have to agree. I can't believe anyone would post a statement like that on a site dedicated to corvettes. Maybe thats why half the people think of us as ******. Go to any tourist town, and they think the bikers, mustang groups, street rodders, camaro clubs are great to deal with. I just attended the camaro rally in Sturgis SD,and over heard the statement that corvette people were the worst. Made me think it's amazing what a few idiots can do for your reputation. Maybe we should think before we type. Ron B.

in that case the a$$hole is not the driver.

and would likely take a beat down of epic proportions if I ever caught them.

We were at a hotel with a large mostly empty parking lot, and a C4 corvette was parked across 2 parking spots. When we left in the morning the parking lot was full and someone had written in soap on the Corvette window, "Small *****"

You've really gotta stop eating paste..........it's really affecting your thought process. FYI, you REALLY wouldn't want to try that stuff on my car. Mine gets parked on the far side of a lot taking up two spots because some inconsiderate POS in a $1000 beater with no insurance coverage doesn't give a rat's *** if they ding my car. Have a great day.

There is just never a good reason to park like that. Far end of the lot in one space is enough to protect you most of the time. If its that serious, leave it at home in the garage?
