Wow - a nice big parking, I work downtown Montreal, we have no open space at all, heck, we don't even have parking spaces for our building. We have to go to the 25$/day parking all around. I don't even drive the 'vette to work, ever, bus during the week, vette on week-end.

What a change! haha

I'm pretty lucky in this regard. Even after everyone is here, this far side of the lot is usually only every other place taken. There are advantages to a small town (including three traffic lights to work)

Retired, but I drove my Corvette to work yesterday and today, to the church to help put food in 47 boxes that we're going to give away today.

Picture taken right from my office window right now. I have the best view at work for sure. DD so why not...and yes I use 2 spots and park at an angle for the best view. I have a parking lot that allows me the privacy and no one can tell me not to.

Corvettes only lot at work.

Actually not, an idiot in a BMW roadster parks next to me every day despite all the open spots in the lot.

Mine is the blue one. The owner of the red one works for me.

Maybe you need to give the guy a raise who works for you so he can move up to a C6.

It's actually a gal. She's only been here for a few months so it's a bit early. Plus, if she moved up to a C6 I'd have to move to a C7, and I'm not ready for that yet.

Hmmm . . . my boss drives an BMW X5M, company paid of course. He's saving up for a Ferrari once the business is well into profit territory

My car is my DD. Raining today, just like it was when I test drove it the first time.
