Default We all look for the perfect parking space...

Met my son at a new restaurant today for lunch.
Like all 'vette owners, I cruised around the unfamiliar parking lot looking for a reasonably safe parking space.
If it were possible, I would buy this space, and take it with me everywhere.

Ah yes, I have a spot like that at our local 711. That should be the only spot our vettes are allowed to park.

Yeah, no dings on the doors, but it would be no fun to find sap drips, bird poop, pine needles, and a big branch on the car! (Just kidding)

I agree; that's a great spot.

Once in awhile everything aligns just right and a spot like is waiting just for a Corvette. Great spot for sure!

That's better than a winning lottery ticket. Well, maybe a small winner.

Perfect spot!!
When I go to the parking garage I try to get and end spot. If they are all full there is one spot on the very back row that has a metal rail where one marker should be. It is about 1 3/4 spaces marked as one. Pull in at a angle and no way anyone can get near me.

What's up with the pulling into the spot? Being a Vette owner it is mandatory to back into parking spots each & every time without exception!

There is no downside in backing into spots, unless the driver is that untalented at driving.

Years ago, I made a pair of door protectors for when I had to park a nice car in a really tight space. I took a moving quilt (the kind you wrap furniture in when you move), hemmed it to the right size, and sewed some strong magnets into the fabric. Then, when I parked and thought I needed it, I would just stick it on the side of the car. Since it wasn't especially attractive, I figured no one would steal it (and no one ever did). It worked great, but it wouldn't work on a Plastic Fantastic.

I would have backed the vette in, it looks better when parked.
