watch out for rouge shopping carts. its one thing to park far away. its another to park far away on a downward slope that attracts shopping carts. The ideal spot is one that is far away, curb on one side, on the top of a hill. scoot all the way over to the curb, and pray that in your concern for door dings, some thief doesnt decide that its an ideal place to start work.

amazingly I did park similar to what you described and before I could make my way into the mall 3 idiots had stopped and were circling my car (acr viper).... one had his hand on my front bumper as he reached under it to see how far my carbon fiber splitter went... I was pissed... i walked back to the car once i saw them.... people are amazing sometimes...

Anyway... I had to get in to my car from the passenger side.


I like to park like this when somebody is parking like an asshole. I should take pictures.

Also, that truck would be missing some valve stems. I don't know what it is about trucks, but when they park like this I get more annoyed than with other vehicles.

The new trend of "Parking Tools".

1. ICEing an EV spot.
2. EV/PHEV think it is an EV parking spot, but not recharging.

It is starting to get so bad that some SoCal cities have signs up to warn of such city parking code violations, and will be subject for being towed.
