No more parking spots? No problem!

[Uneek]

im the same way. i always park in the corner spots and hug the side.

this is one of my peeves. i always park top level of the parking garage at work and in the corner....and someone always parks next to me. these are the only two cars on the top of the garage too??

:iagree:. If I have to park in the middle of the asile, I leave at least 3 car spaces between me and the next car over. This way if someone else feels the need to park where I'm at, they'll probably take the middle spot, leaving at least one space between us.

It annoys me that people park close to me. But it pisses me off if they park close to me and touch my car with their door. At which point, they deserve to be :xnuts:.

Thank you Uneek ... time for me to add my reply!!

Since Uneek introduced me to 4Runners & I got one for myself...I've been Sidewalk Off-Roading/Curb Hopping every chance I get. Why waste time & go around aisles.

This picture is because I always hunt for a corner spot, so I can hug one side, however there was a car that was kinda close, so I didn't want dents, so I hopped the curb.

Best Parking Spot...(pictures)

Nice parking job! Yeah in addition to making life easier when it comes to parking, the GX/T4R also comes in handy for those times when waiting for a light to make a U-turn just seems like way too much time and trouble when instead you can simply hop the curb/median and make a left directly to Taco Bell - drives Mrs. GG crazy too

Dang it!

The BW3 in my town was designed by an idiot and the parking lot is way too small. I go there for all the UFC fights and about every other time I have to park in the grass. I went there for a Steelers game not long after it opened and ended up parking half-way in mud (before the grass had come up). Ended up actually having to use my rear locker to get out of it! Now I wish I had taken some pictures.

These are great! I'm always tempted to do some creative parking here, but public safety frowns on that at my school...sometimes I have to convince myself that the big orange $50 ticket isn't worth it

I used to really enjoy parking my FJ on the snow piles around light posts and at the edge of the parking lots. It's always packed pretty tight and half of the spot is filled with snow from the plow, so you just drive right up it.

It looks funny, because the nose of the car is sticking up at or above roof level of the cars on either side. I've been doing it for so many years in my different trucks (Pathfinder, Trooper, and S10 before the FJ) that I never thought to take pictures. It is always funny though. When I get the T4R I'll start taking pictures of my wacky parking adventures for everybody to laugh at. Haha.

UHH.... you and I work together or park at the same garage there Lefty!!

What do you do when all of the parallel parking spots are plowed in? Just this!

This was taken at Staples- going for office supplies could be fun in a 4Runner!

Sweet :driving:

Thought some of you guys might appreciate these pics. One of the things I like best about having a 4WD is never being without a parking spot. I was running late getting my kid to a swim meet and some guy in an Xterra had already taken my usual secret "4x4 only" spot that I like to use So I had to go find another one quick and this is all I could come up with - the place was just totally full - for some reason folks were giving me strange looks when we got out I'd love to see pics of some of the creative parking spots you've used for your T4R.

GENIUS!! I should do that at UTSA. I wonder if i can skip on the parking pass expense using your idea! lol

 

[drz400smoto]

not my 4runner, but in my f350 on campus the other day. It was about a 4' snow bank. Fun stuff!!

 

[Duhockey]

there were no more parking spaces in my complex near my apartment except the one that the snowplows saved for me... pic doesnt completely do this snow hill justice

[Casper421]

Got to the hill a little late the other day and found a "creative" corner spot.

Northstar?

I was at Mt Rose on Saturday...wanted to check out a new resort.

My first trip this Season...wasn't a great weekend, because the snow was icy, this weekend is going to be even worst.

I think I'll wait till it storms.

This is about the best flex I bet most will get in a parking spot.
