I wish I could train mine. The last two weeks, some bastard in a late '70s Nissan Z has been beating me to work in the early morning and taking my favorite spot on the end of a row. I need to hire some thugs to take him and his car out back...

I park in a multi story parking garage in downtown Oklahoma City and don't have any control over who parks where. I park myself in a different spot everyday.

The other day I parked as far away from everyone that I could at a shopping center. When I came back this is what I saw.

At least they parked behind me and not next to me.

It really does not matter what car you drive -- if you park away from the front door - no one around -- almost everytime you will find someone park near you -- odd people out there.

Nope. This is a restricted access site. No one comes down that road. It is perfect.

C5, great job on training your coworkers. Any tips you could pass on to other Corvette owners to follow your lead? Joking of course, I've worked at the same job for the past 17 years and my coworkers know even with my daily driver that I'm **** as hell when they part too close.
