Default When parked at the back of the lot

you know that time when you park all the way in the back of the lot only to come back and see a bunch of cars parked right next to you.....

Not a good idea to park like that. Draws too much attention.

They must have thought it was a car show or something.

Too many crazies out there. That's an invitation to: "Why don't you come over and scribble on my car why you hate those "rich" guys who think they can do whatever"

Hell, I'm afraid to even go into a parking lot like that period, especially a Wallmart unless someone stays in the car or I take someone else and I stay in it. Paranoid Yes

That picture was taken at the grocery store and the corvette owner while parked far out was in the spaces closest to the entrances, hence why there were cars parked all around him.

Are you paranoid if the situation can truly happen?

I was at Lambeau Field in Green Bay a few years ago visiting the Packer Pro Shop. When I went in there were a few handicapped parking spots open. When I came out about 15 minutes later there were a C6 Grand Sport and a C6 ZR1 in the spots. Both had out of state plates and no handicap plates or stickers. I really didn't care but some of the handicapped people are very territorial about "their" parking places. $60.00 minimum fine in this state.

Anyone that illegally parks in a handicapped spot deserve whatever they get.

I'm really not too worried about aliens {the little green ones] messing with it, hell they would probably like it and I would even take one a ride if he'd just sit there and behave himself and not start trying to jam needles up my *** going down the road with the top down ect.
I guess that could happen, some say it has but I'm still gonna be cautious where I park and Definately avoid parking near flying saucers unless that's the only option. Just be friendly to any little Greenies that might be near by though.
Paranoid? Most Likely
Cautious? More So
Try to not go there ? Most of all
But I would like to hang out with one of the Greenies and compare rides and such but if he tries to jam them damn needles up my *** I'm gonna jam something up his.
But then it like it and might want to take me home with it and tell it's family, "Guess who's coming to dinner"
But then after Dinner they all might get their needles out, I better just stay home
