I don't take up two spaces. I just park away from people. I don't trust them. Some will hit your car on purpose just to **** you off because they don't have a Vette. It's a jealousy thing, we have what they want.

Plus parking farther away and having you car sit by itself gives you peace of mind, plus exercise (walking farther) and you get to look at your car longer....NICE
