I went to the local hospital (our family doc has an office there) the other day and took the Z06 because it was such a nice day. I decided to park in the furthest possible place in the parking lot and took up two spaces.
When I headed back to the car after about 30 minutes I was surprised to see someone had parked right next to me. I got a little closer and was thinking there pretty close too. Then I saw another car really close on the other side.
I was upset at first but didn't see any damage to my car. I snapped a few pics then noticed a valet walking back from another car. I asked him what the deal was and he said something about needing those spots. I went back in to talk to the valet manager. He was cool and handled it nicely. Even followed up with me later that day.
I can see the humor in it now, even though I was a little po'ed at first. Maybe I should have just parked in back and taken only one spot.

You were po'ed? Really? I suspect few people would see the humor of you taking two spaces. You could have parked in the end space and hugged the curb and still been protected. When other people do this they get called "jerks."
It doesn't really matter how far away you park, taking up two spots (or otherwise parking like you think you are better than the unwashed masses) is just asking for it.
This is what happened to Mr.owc6 when he essentially just did a sloppy parking job.
You or anyone else who does this no matter how far out in the parking lot is just asking for trouble. Just pick the same area with curb on one side and hug it as many have suggested.
The only thing that could have been worse is if you parked across two spots up close in a parking lot. You certainly don't want to be that guy.

I'll add one more to the "that's a ******** move" vote on parking like an idiot. Makes the rest of us look like idiots. Obviously, you were in the valet lot and not the lot reserved for self-entitled ******.

Amazing how people have relative perspective how valuable their car is and, thus, how much more entitled it is to parking privileges. Saw this at Target the other day - a base model Corolla.

I wonder if someone opened his gas cover for him in protest?

A little Valet parking humor :)
