A few years ago I bought a nearly new Prelude (2months old 23 miles).
First time my other half and me go shopping in it we park get out of the car and start to walk away.
While we were walking away a woman in a chelsea tractor parks next to us.
She opens her door and smacks the passenger side of the lude. I wasn't too bothered but the other half starts shouting at her. The woman gets back in the tractor locks the doors and cowers into the footwell.
After a minute or two I persuade my other half to leave it and walk away, then we almost get mown down by the CT as she races out of the car park.

There are less morals in people these days with even less respect for other peoples property. So unless you are going to wrap your car in cotton wool and never go out in it, just bite your lip and enjoy the VTEC and top down motoring.

Global warming lovin it, top down most days, just had to get a supply of sun block for the car so I don't frazzle my head.

 

Park in a parent/child spot. If challenged, your car is your baby.

 

And another thing:

If every car manufacturer made Lamborghini style doors, we wouldn't have this effing problem!

 

And if everyone paid attention to posting dates, they wouldn't report a 2 year old post and look like a divot

 

honestly speaking i would never park next to a 4x4 or an mpv of any sort. to be honest i would either parallel park or park next to a wall or something. I work in a shopping centre and yes it does look stupid circling for ages waiting for the "right" place to park.

Many a time have i thought to park in between cars but when i think will that git open their door into mine i would restart the engine and circle again...

It sad but true.

If ppl respected other ppls property it wouldn't have to be like this!!

 

Hehe! A divot? My God!

My goodness, how are we new users expected to feel with comments like that banded about?

 

ahhh... was that post that old??? didnt realise thought it was a good topic... made my point... i think
