It would be nice if there was that much room in all parking spaces.

I like to park in front of the gas pumps at gas stations whether I need gas or not. I always get my own nice big parking space with the option to fill er up.

I found a great spot, once.

I came out to the car in the morning, and a stupid Subaru had made itself at home in the non-spot next to the car. He probably had a good laugh about snooty Corvettes, too.

Still wouldn't surprise me if you find someone parked 18" from it.
Sometimes I will park so far out in a parking lot that no ones within 75' feet to come to find one car right up against mine.

That's as good as you can get! Out of the weather and no other car can get close to it. You win!
