No matter what car I'm in, I always pick an end spot and hug the curb. I don't like door dings so I do my best to avoid them. In regards to my C7, it doesn't matter where I park or how close to the curb I get, someone is going to get real close to me.

Default Why?

After lunch, my son and I come out to find this. We both cracked up laughing. Why?

Yes, I figured somebody would say that. I run a business and we try to do things for our customers, not the staff. We don't always live up to that so we have meetings to discuss various situations. Perhaps I'm wrong on the seating issue but I must say it sure pisses me off when it happens (seated next to occupied tables when there are lots of empty tables in dining area). Sometimes I say something and sometimes not. If it happens often I simply go elsewhere the next time. That way the wait staff doesn't have to be bothered.

Back in C7 to avoid curb rash - check.

End spot in the middle of nowhere - check

You did everything right, the VW guy did it wrong

It actually looks good to me, he left an empty space and nobody is going to park between you and that monster.

You should feel privileged that someone with a Red Ram choose to park next to your car. Mine is parked close to one every day.

I'd be more concerned about the a-hole motorcyclist on your other side.
