This doesn’t look like a very good idea

Get you and three buddies with compact beaters to park in what is left of the parking spaces...

I did something like that when I was in college and driving my beater Honda Accord hatchback. Someone had parked well over the line in a place where parking spaces were at a premium. I parked within the space remaining between his car and the line and crawled out my hatchback.

Looks like an ******* owner that thinks his car is more important than others. I’d park inches from the driver door just for the hell of it.

Not much room between the door and that pole.

Looks like one may be able to get close enough to the rear of the door so one couldn’t get in. Angle is tough to tell. Regardless the owner is a douche.

This is how Covette owners get a bad reputation.

Totally staged as no WALMART ever has four empty spaces in that configuration when the store is open.

No argument there. That owner is just asking for something to be done to his car.

Not a staged photo. Pulled in a couple days ago with the Wife and said I gotta take a Pic of this and put it on the Forum.

If not yours what difference does it make? He/she may manage the store and park there all the time.

It’s not the Managers car. Car was from the next County over. And I really could care less how They park. Except there are People out there that intentionally do things to Cars that are parked this way. I just put it on here for all of the Guys I hear on here complaining that someone parked too close to Them. And might accidentally look at Their car and cause some harm to it by doing so.

This driver and car reminds me of lightning McQueen when he first comes to radiator springs and messes up the town and then he's sentenced to repair the town afterwards. Town looks messed up so it would be nice to have that nice looking car and driver fix up this Old Town judging by the parking lot and how backwards the area looks in the pictures.

I'm an *******. I would do that. I admit it. Try to avoid responding with flames!!
If I park in far away spaces, I take pride in my car, who am I hurting?
Why are there so many people willing to hurt others that have done nothing to them?
I am also naive!
Merry Christmas to all...

Nothing wrong with parking far out in a lot. Most people can use the extra steps these days. Taking up multiple spots is wrong. It’s just a car. Boggles my mind why people think they are so special 😏

This pic doesn't bother me at all but I would never park like this. I park way out for several reasons. First, to protect my car. Second, I could use the exercise. Third Im blind in my right eye which makes it very difficult to park in tight spaces. Since losing the sight in my eye, I'm amazed how many things I do by "feel" but this doesn't work too well when parking a car.
