Parking woes
I played golf yesterday. There are always a lot of vettes at the course. Wednesday there were 5 - 2 C6's, 2 C5's, and my C7. This C5 owner parked and left plenty of space, but the sedan driver took it all, actually touching the vette's nose. Both cars were gone when I finished my round.

Lets see...Golf course = Golf clubs; look around yep no cameras and no golfers, I think I'll practice my swing with my 3 iron and see what happens and then pick the front tires. He'd be in a bad way upon return.

I had something similar happen a few weeks ago at work .. except instead of the front of a car it was a huge trailer hitch on a truck that backed into the parking space infront of me

I have stopped vehicles from backing into my parked Corvette...slamming their widow with an open hand and then telling them I probably saved them a couple thousand dollars body work on my Corvette!! No "thankyou's", what is it with these people??

Just shows you some people are idiots and should not be allowed to drive if they can't manage to even park their car correctly.

That's why I never park in a spot that leaves the nose of the car vulnerable. It's way too low for some of these idiots to gauge and risk driving right over it. If I can , I always pull through the spot so my tail is facing the tandem spot, so at least I have a fighting chance that they stop before hitting that too.
