The greatest parking spot
A bank closed just across from my gym so it's a good walk but I'm going to the gym anyway. No chance of some POS parking really close which is what usually happens even when there are plenty of open spaces.

It's a good spot but personally I wouldn't do it. Seems to me that things happen when you draw attention to yourself...like double parking...or anything that makes it stand out.

That is one of the things so wrong about having a nice car, in a spot where it is not hurting anything and some nutcase will come along and key it

Sometimes I just drive my other car depending on where I'm going. It's just one less thing I have to worry about. It may seem like a good idea to you, but someone else somewhere will think it's not.

That's for sure! I went there yesterday and made sure I parked away from everyone and left 2 spaces on the sides of the car when along comes a huge Lincoln Continental who parks on my passenger side door. I sit in the car and wait. The guy throws his door open narrowly missing my passenger door and keeps pushing on his door to get his big butt out of the car. I look over, quickly start my car and pull forward fast. Eventually I casually get out of the car and the guy yells "sorry I came within 1" of your door!" I keep walking across the parking lot and ignore him pretending not to hear. Then I hear him say it again! "Hey lady!! I'm sorry I came within 1" of your door!!" So I then turn and say "oh, that's ok" as politely as possible. Then he says... "it should be!!"
Now I'm like what is this guys problem? So, as calmly as possible, I say "I don't want my door slammed and I was giving you room". Then he says something else to egg me on... So I go about my way (keeping an eye on my car in the whole idiotic process). The guy was sort of demented, maybe rode the short bus as a kid, with some kind of knee bands on. I really didn't want a confrontation. Just didn't want my car damaged. Maybe that was asking too much?? Btw, this wasn't even the Corvette. This was my UV Blue Eclipse which I keep in beautiful shape (for the past 10 years).
The car this person was driving (if you can imagine) was a big old rusty gray Lincoln with bumper stickers on the back and fishing poles sticking out the windows. I'm not sure if the guy even had teeth but something wasn't quite right with him. He knew he almost hit my car and then got angry when I pulled forward. Only at WALMART !!
