Default Come On Man!!!

So yea this happened today. Parked far away, went in to eat, came back out and struggled like hell to get in. Grrrrwwwww..

P.S. What made it worse was that all of the parking spaces on my side were made for COMPACT cars too. No respect at all. The nerve of some people. Luckily no dings.

I keep a handful of these business cards in my glovebox. It won't make bad parkers any better, but it makes me feel better knowing I was able to let them know what idiots they are.

...and I have some that are much more profane for the real idiots.

That is frustrating. Thankfully there was no damage. How in the heck did you manage to get in. Doesn't look like there is enough room for a little kid to get in, let alone an adult. I agree that all sorts of thoughts would be running through my mind too.

Glad you didn't receive any dings or scratches. This kinda stuff never fails when you think you have a "safe" parking spot.

This happened to me a few months back. I stayed surprisingly calm considering how intentional it looked.

I just scratch my head when I see that. My blood boils quick sometimes, but there are too many cameras around these days to get creative.

It's times like this where a valve stem core removal tool comes in handy. Flatten 2 of their tires and see how clever they feel.

Yikes! I doubt it was intentional, but it just kills me how my vehicles always attract idiots when it comes to parking. I always park in east cambodia whenever we go anywhere and my wife just expects it now. I have noticed her now doing the same thing.

Glad there were no dings. Like Hoosiervette said, "how the heck did you manage to get in?"

In looking at that SUV with the little 25 kids window sticker, I would assume that is some dude who envy's what you have and hates that he has to drive an old Toyota Highlander... That was deliberate! You actually left all kinds of room and that *** hat intentionally parked on top of you. What a douche!

I keep a valve core tool in my glove box (not admitting I've ever used it) but they are handy little things.

That is actually a great idea... doesn't do permanent damage AND it sends a pretty clear message.

The problem with that is they might remember your car and the next time you might not get away damage free !!!!!!!! Trust me I get really upset at these people, one of the reasons I don't use my vette more. And for those that say they are made to drive, mine is more than that to me, also one ding in a silver car is a major deal !!!!!!

I'll bet the person was on the phone or texting while parking. Idiots.

The second day after taking the Vette out we went to the casino and parked on the top floor of the parking garage in the far corner. The nearest car was probably 600-800ft away. When we came out still no cars closer except a Hyundai which parked in the spot right next to me. He wasn't too close though but within door dinging distance. Maybe he just wanted to check out the Vette.
