Is your Corvette a parking lot magnet?

Parked in a restaurant parking lot in Arlington...very back lot. No other cars in this particular lot. Went in, ate, came back out. Probably an hour or so. Parked next to my car was a pos Ford Bronco, probably early 60's. It was so close, I could not get in my car. Couldn't even walk between the two. No other cars in the lot, and there were plenty of empty places to park. Had to get in from the passenger side of the car and climb over the console.
have had a couple of flats when he came out

Violent would be calling the guy out, opening a can of whoop-*** on him, slamming his head through his car window, then making love to his woman while he watched.

That's not violent, that's passive-aggressive. That means you don't confront anyone, but keep it inside, then get even when no one is around.

I told him that, since he was inconsiderate enough to trap my car in it's parking space, I was damn sure inconsiderate enough to make a scene in the bank. He comes out and I tell him to move his POS. I told him that he was an inconsiderate turd. He looks at me funny and then gets his azz in the van and leaves. Never even apologized.

As above mentioned. I park my trucks next to Corvettes in lots because I KNOW the driver of a Corvette won't dare let their door touch my truck. Besides, I feel like I am protecting one side of a nice car because I won't let my doors fly either. That jalopy next to your vette might be a Vette owner themselves....

As I stated earlier, I park my Corvette at the end of the row, and at a slight angle while staying within the white lines. My supervisor drives a Hellcat. He parks his next to mine in the same manner.
Last year these two guys who apparently bought new trucks started parking their trucks next to our vehicles in the exact same way! We talked about why would someone cared about a truck. I mean, IT'S a TRUCK!! This is a paid parking lot just for our building, but is open for tourists going to the St Louis Arch. We used to park at the end of the row near the fence, but we moved to the row closest to the building, leaving the trucksters there own corner.
I have a F150 Supercrew Lariat that I purchased new, but never thought about parking it away from everyone. I just looked for a spot where I could get it to fit. To me it was just a truck.

When those trucks cost as much or more than a Corvette though, you tend to want to take care of them. I started driving several old beaters back when I got my license, the least of which was a Chevette. It was the shiniest, cleanest Chevette you ever did see. I called it my "Vette" Pride in ownership was real. I worked for that car and took care of it.

My daily driver is a 2015 Ram 1500 Laramie. I do the same with my truck and park towards the end of the parking lot away from everyone else. I do always leave at least one space between me and any other cars parked by themselves when possible. Kind of out of respect for the other car and my own unwritten rules of parking.

I have a handicap placard as a result of surviving a head on in 2011. I bought my vette in Jan 2014. I have to say that handicap parking is the silver lining in the dark cloud. I don't have to worry about my car anymore....and am up close. I did have some azzhat throw a cup of coffee on it at a hotel last year. I guess he could not rationalize handicap and corvette.

I worked for a guy 30 years ago who was sitting in a mall parking lot where his wife and daughter went to shop. He was sitting in his brand new Buick Park Avenue when a woman pulled in the parking space right next to him and threw her car door into the side of his car. He got out and politely asked her why she did that and her reply was it's just a car, so he forcefully opened his door several times into the side of her car and gave her the same excuse. He got back in and waited for his family and they drove away.

I watched something like that happen in a parking lot. A ignorant lady opened a door in a parking lot and put a dent in another girls car. The girls car that got hit said a couple of words to her and she got a one fingered salute. After that women went into the store the lady that got hit pulled a small sledge hammer out of her trunk and put a very big dent in the offending car. There were other people around that saw this and gave her applause and a thumbs up. Karma eventually got that girl.

That's why we park far away from everyone else. Too many stupid and/or inconsiderate people out there. I had that happen to me years ago while I was sitting in my car. Luckily there was no dent but I went off on the woman and the guy that was with her. I think they both cr@pped themselves. It did make me feel better though.

i feel you bro, iv seen stingrays parked in busy parking lots. its just a risk we gotta take but i don't think someone would vandalize a car for no reason. iv seen m3s m4s, amg benz and even Maseratis parked as well. if people did damage nice cars there would be news everywhere
