My favorite parking spot is in the waaaay back. Many people(especially Americans) are lazy, and prefer to find something close to the front. So the farther out, the emptier. At school I would choose the far end of the lot, and would back in. Teenagers with a 3000 pound missile are scary. So I may have to walk farther, but I can get to the main lane quicker, and since I backed in, I don't have to back out.

exactly how i am, i always find a spot next to a curb so i only have 1 person beside me, then i back in as close to the curb as i can get so there is no chance of door dings

that site is hilarious Tom!


so my youngest brother snapped a few pic's Thursday night outside his local hangout (ie; the main bar)..................



his buddy's F150 you see to the left, has a 3" lift to it. apparently the bottom of my brother's rear bumper was above his friend's hood!

funny thing.............when to cop told his to move his truck moments later, it was only because the cop said he was partially blocking the sidewalk-which is under the pile of snow-with his rear tires!

This is my favorite spot to park in at school! People keep taking it, though.

favorite spot of mine is similar to CBR. i park as far out as i can, on the end so no one can park close to me. except when some idiot woman parked so darn close to me that i couldn't open my passenger door. she had a lovely note on her car

At uni got a favourit stall, right on the end where everyone drives by, and only have a car on one side of me (less chances to get a knick from a door). Anywhere else i always try for the snow hill, no one around it usually... at work i park on the far right when its winter so i can use the plug.....in the summer i back up against the garage door on the left, so when some kid decides to jack something i can run out the back door get in the blazer and chase them down (True story), unless i have the trailer.

When i go through radium i always park here and take a picture, heres one in 07, and attached at night is in 2010.
