    Dude! Where's my car?

    LOL... Seem like this has been happening quite a bit lately. People telling me that they THOUGHT they had a great place to park, until they turned, and found that I was already parked there! If I back in, often times I can be right next to the car I'm parked next to, and not be able to see my car! Anybody else have any good stories/pics about this?

    I don't like being a "that guy" so I always make sure to not pull all the way into parking spots like that.

      I work childcare at a public school. One day I was walking out to my car when I saw a tiny mom, flying through the parking lot, swing her gigantic SUV into my parking spot. She very nearly smashed into my car... I can't imagine that was the first time anyone had made that mistake either. These days I make sure to park with my nose or tail near the end of the spot so it DOESN'T look empty.

        That's the ticket! I always align my rear bumper with that of the monstrosity beside me. It's not any safer to park near the curb. In fact, you can fit TWO Festivas into a parking space, depending on how long the lines are. I've done that at my apartment. People have complained that it looks "trashy". Well, if I can get two cars into one space and have four cars in my allotted two, that's my damn prerogative! Now stop buying huge vehicles you don't need, and you can put four cars in your driveway too!

            Dude! Where's my car?

            When I first started dding my Festy, I would lose it in parking lots all the time. I see the fun! Sorry if I spoiled it a little for ya.

              My coworkers really didn't like my car because I always used to pull up all the way. I've since learned to not pull up all the way after I saw someone nearly cream my coworkers fiero who also used to pull all the way up.

                  I used to do that at work too. Whenever I came in early, I got the first space next to the door. As soon as two more cars came, you couldn't see my Festiva. Everybody cursed me because they had to back up. The CEO drove a Hummer and always berated my Festiva. He asked me when I was going to buy a real car. Since he controlled my raise, I had to just smile and take it on the chin.

                    I remember those days, now I just look for the roof towering over the honda's, subaru's escapes It looks even shorter though!

                      Update:
                      So I thought I'd try your techniques of hanging the butt of the Festy, to line up with other cars... I'm 10 feet away from the car in the spot in front of me! LOL

                        It feels weird, doesn't it! Now you can rent parking space to motorcycles! :evil4:
