I like to think that if you park far away and someone parks near you they are car people too. But in reality if they park right next to you they are mind f--king you. Unnecessary either way.
Your opinions are just fine.
I will continue to park out in no mans land where it effects no one else and take two spots.
If it bothers you, to bad, its your problem, not mine.
The T.A.C.O appears to have plenty of room to get in his car. Shouldn't park like an a-hole.
However, the Jeep guy should have parked four inches from the Corvette driver's door. Make the clown crawl over the console to get into the driver's seat.
Totally agreed on this one.
This is the kind of behavior that makes people think all Corvette owners are ********.
While this is 100% accurate, personally I could care less if someone wants to take up two spots. My parking complaint is always the same scenario. Everyone is parked near the entrance, so I park in the back 40 away from everybody. I walk nearly a 1/4 of a mile so I know my ride is safe. When I return some doorknob is parked almost on top of me. While some have eluded this to respect, I do not agree. I see at as extremely disrespectful. What goes thru a person's mind when they behave that way.? Just my two centavos.

A number of years ago a Jackazz parked his corvette sideways in a handicap parking spot with no disabled plates on his car. I called the cops and watched as we ate lunch. The cops and a tow truck showed up and he came running out of a nearby business he owned. He pulled the " don't you know who I am? " the officer couldnt have cared less. It was great
That clears things up. Obviously the 'vette owner developed an inner ear imbalance swooping around those stupid jug-handle turns which made him park like that.....
This photo has been on this forum before. The Corvette owner was a real tool parking like that. The result could have been much worse. I never park my C3 or C7 in two spots.
I've taken 2 spots before in a parking lot in my 409 Impala.
Each spot was $10 so I gave the guy a $20 and called it a day. He didn't care since as far as he was concerned, another car would've given him $10 anyway.
I have no issue if you take the 2 spots in no mans land but think it invites dbags to play with you. 1 spot in no mans land is a little less inviting. But hey its your car. IMHO
What a thought provoking thread,
i missed it the other zillion times it has popped up so just have to toss my 2 centavos in now since im bored,
I agree what a person thinks of another person is a them problem, too bad in a case like this its like not seeing the forest for the trees,
Taking two parking spaces is akin to vanity plates with something pompous on them about the car, you know like
"N V ME"
the person is raising a flag and begging for salutes, they will get them,
And in this world there are lots if dumb asses who are just aching to prove how stupid they are why ask for it?
Its just a matter or time before such cars get vandalized,
Doesnt matter which part of the lot, taking two spaces out where there are lots of empty spaces just looks extra cheesedick, but might be more prone to just a drive by act of stupidity like tossing a beer can or used diaper on the car,
I did see a shopping cart ran into a double parked car once, passenger held cart out window let it go heading at the parked car,
All my car interest life i have heard of cars getting keyed, never heard of some dolt busted for doing the keying,
And someone who is willing to vandalize a car might just put the cars owners in the hospital or morgue if caught in the act, and while i really like my property my car isnt worth flushing my life down the drain or getting hurt because i jumped some cat keying my car, no winner there,
I dont believe it makes in this case all vette owners look like arrogant tacos,
That comes from how we treat others,
Sadly a solid 7 out of 10 vette guys I meet in person are tacos, but the 3 who arent are super great guys,
What comes to my mind if a person thinks their car is so special they deserve two spaces they should likely leave it locked away safe and never drive it,
That or get off the ego trip....

But dont get mad when that flag gets saluted.
Well said. This pretty much describes how I feel on this subject. I frickin' HATE snobby people, and this is why I generally do not join Corvette clubs. Unfortunately, there are many Corvette owners who are in to Vettes for status/ego, etc. and act like the TACO they are which gives the rest of us a bad name. But as The13Bats said, the rest of them are good old regular folks who would give you the shirt off their back.
If you take two spots way out in no ones way, no one should have a problem with that. If they do have a problem with that, you're dealing with a psycho.
Taking two spots right in front close to the entrance, your asking for trouble. That guy with the jeep IS a psycho. Only a psycho goes out of his way like that looking for confrontation.

I'm just stating my thoughts on the idea, not trying to be rude and arrogant, I've never actually done it myself, and I don't like Walmart either . But I also see people with nice cars who take up one spot at the back of the parking lot, and someone parks next to them anyways. People are drawn to cool cars and don't give it a second thought when parking next to them.
So you think by taking two spaces in the back is going to prevent someone from parking right next to you and maybe even so close that you can't get in your car. Both drivers are wrong. I always park way out and take an end space parking as close to the line as I can. No need for two spaces and yes I hate door dings but taking two spaces is asking for something to go wrong.
