I get a lot of dirty looks for it, but what the hell. I once parked my new 66 SS396 Chevelle in a super market parking lot and some a--hole pushed their grocery cart down the side of it. I watched it happen & couldn't get to it in time. I was so pi--ed, I took the cart and threw it on the guy's hood. He stood in awe when I told him that about makes us even for paint damage.

As far away as possible and still take 2 spaces. Heck, I even did that in a downtown parking garage the other day: went to the top floor (empty) and parked at the very end (close to the stair well). Upon my return the attendant left me a "violation" for improper use of parking space
