Default 3 Vettes at Walmart

Went to Walmart to pick up some half and half and made the 35 mile round trip to drive my C7 and stretch it's legs between rain storms! Parked, as usual, at the end of the lot taking only one space. Came out in less than 10 minutes and a blue C7 was also parked near the end of the lot as well a C5 ZR1 parked next to a dividing island but closer to other cars! We're fortunate our parking lots are never filled so always a good place to park.




Two Other Vettes Parked Near Mine Within the 10 Minutes I was Shopping!

The only time any of our Corvettes have ever been parked in a Wal Mart parking lot is when on a Texas hill country cruise several years ago I had a crown come off a tooth and I made an emergency stop at Wal Mart for some adhesive to glue it back on. True story!

You have to learn how to trust the Walmartians!

The blue one assumes that cart return wont have a wondering cart or some jerk letting the cart go towards the car, yours and the silver one are correctly postioned.

Been doing that with most of my vehicles. Figure I probably lost 200 pounds over the many years but unfortunately put in back on by using the walk to justify eating French fries!

That's pretty funny all 3 cars parked out there

I must be lazy because I always look for the closest spot in the parking lot. Our body panels are fairly dent resistant.

For the times I park far away, someone STILL often decides to park next to me.

Parking your Corvette at Walmart is like going
for a stroll with your Lady through a prison:
You know sooner or later there's going to be an issue.

Sometimes the best place to park is right next to the cart return. Think about it.

I avoid Walmart while in my Vette like a bad rash. However, if I have to go in there I sit in the car. Even then it's risky. I've found next to the handicapped parking is usually the best since their slots are wider and you can cheat a little on one side.

I parked waaaaaaaay out there when I drove SUVs!!
Some of you think it's a crime to drive a Corvette to Walmart. Why?? I know you don't expect me to walk 25 miles one way to get there!!

It's gotten to the point where people are judged by where they shop?
