that's how you park a 5th gen.

took this at a mall this morning, northeast part of Indy.

Ugh I hate it when people do that. However at my school sometimes they boot the offenders.

I woulda squeezed right next to there passenger door, then wing the driver door open, then park next to his driver door.

That sort of thing attracts too much attention. Great way to get keyed.

Parking far, far away is a better idea, but even with that, sometimes somebody still parks next to you. :bash:

 

[Duhockey]

Thats super selfish...

what he thinks his car is more important than anyone elses??

I woulda waited for whoever did that and ripped them a new one.

Its elitism and it pisses me off!!:bash:

haha make sure you use a nice big spike on the door.

 

[itgirl]

ya, that's just asking for trouble and door dings. somebody always manages to weasel in next to it, and it's always some beat up ol' hoopty.

And look at that tow hitch.. He doesn't tow with that $40K vehicle, its just to make sure more damage to the other vehicle incase he gets rear ended..selfish..why not do it in a championship game so he can have an instant modification to the 4Runner.

 

[sn0wrunner]

I hate when people park bad too.

Not sure if this guy did it on purpose, but i decided to park normal so he would have to crawl in from the passenger side.

4Runner or not, I hate it when people do that. Like others have said, that's just askin' for it.

I'd be cautious parking next to those types because all you need is for that person to not be paying attention and forget to crank the wheel the other way and scrape the side of your car. OR the driver would get pissed that you "parked so close to him" and do intentional damage.

Ok, I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explaination for this parking effort. Clearly there was snow on the ground when the driver pulled in and he/she couldn't see the lines, then the snow melted away before the cars on either side got there.... right??

I would definitely leave my empty shopping cart touching their drivers door.

Colts fan, go figure.

Or the driver could be visually and/or spatially "impaired".

Was at an Antique Car Show this past weekend. The Host hotel parking lot was FULL of tow vehicles. It was amazing how 99.999% of the vehicles were parked dead center in their spaces and were VERY careful when opening their doors. Also interesting how many of the vehicles were backed into spaces along the edge of the lot so their towing equipment was hanging over the grass so as not to pose a hazard.

LOL! I thought that only happened to me when I get a new car. I've never parked like the jackhole in the first picture, but I will usually park it the last spot at the end of the lot. Sometimes I'll come out of the store and some giant sedan, circa 1978 will be parked next to me.

You jshould ticket them yourself...they have and awesome form on this website that you can leave in the offender's wiper and help inform the proper ways to park!

LOL thats funny! but yeah, when there is snow and no one can see the lines, then everyone gets a free pass... but once you can see the lines again, there are no excuses...

and then some guy said the driver might be spatially challenged!! LOL if you cant see the lines, and here comes the PSA: U SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING! lol!!

Speaking of parking like Sn0wrunner did! my buddy at work parked a bit more over the line with his Chevy so I did the same thing at work in our parking garage (keep in mind this is at 9p and I leave at 10:30p) except my wheels went over into a handicap spot (which is one of like 10 around our building and has NEVER been used in the 2 years Ive been here) LOL and I come out thinking I taught him a lesson cuz he had to climb in his passenger side door! LOL I had a "warning" from security on my windshield!!

the worst part?!?! they put my Make and Model down as a Nissan Pathfinder! :jaw drop:
:redbrick:

Seriously!?!?! the Toyota emblems and the 4runner badges on the car dont tell you anything??

anyways, thats my longwinded story!

HAHAHAHAHA! I think I need to have someone break into a cell site and unplug the OC3! You need some work!

Exactly, I was going to say "that's how you get unwanted pin stripping."

Yeah, exactly what I'm debating now. Do I want park where most people park, and get door dings in view of the security cameras or park behind the building where there were break-ins in the past.

I think I'll take my chances and stay ding free, since I have nothing in my 4Runner.

 

[dsandman87]

Some friends of mine and I once ordered some extra-permanent bumper stickers that said "I Park Like an A$$HOLE!!!" just for these occasions...

 

[ItBeMe]

I love guys like that, They get in car and go straight to the body shop and ask how much to get it fixed.:violin:
