You know what I do when people take two spots? I park as close as I can to them.

If you are going to be an elitist bastard about your car I'm going to make it as much of a PITA for you to get back into it.

My DD is already keyed too so there is never any recourse.

If you do this to someone that takes 2 spots at the back of the lot, that makes you a complete a-hole dude...

Don't take two when you need only one.

But pick a safe one.

Why you would even post a thread admitting this is beyond me.

You seriously have issues if you think your "S" rates 2 parking spaces.

The lines are there for a reason....abide by them or be prepared to be fixing dents, keyed panels and scrapping egg off your car in the near future.

hahaa. sorry sorry sorry let me revise this a little. i dont take up 2 spots in the back of the parking lot that just doesnt make sense..i was just wondering if anyone else parks in the "cool guy" row in the back b/c they just dont want dings. i know there is a trade off b/t getting dings from ignorant people to running the risk of someone vandalizing it when its by itself. and ive also had nicer cars park next to mine in the back..that i dont mind b/c at least i know they care for their cars.

i just want people to respect other people property.

I have seen too many cars keyed by pissed off people when they saw a car take 2 spaces, even if they were on the empty and far end of the lot.

It's like your asking to have you car damaged

But you just said in your first post you take up two parking spots where ever you go.

In a word? No.

Park away from everyone and walk.

Yeah, I always park in the back, but never take up two spots. If someone decides to park right next to me for some odd reason, its usually a nicer car or someone who is very careful. Never had any issues.

I remember I parked way far out in the back, and come back to see a Benz CLS next to me. Another time, a Boxster was next to me, and one other moment, a G35. There must be some sort of unspoken car code when we don't want dings. Haha

I've had the exact same experience so many times.
I always park as far away as possible from other vehicles.
And sometimes I see other nice cars parked right next to me.

I dunno about where you live, but I live in a college town. Within a 7 mile radius we have two pretty big universities, parking is ALWAYS limited.

2 spots in the back of the parking lot at the mall or at the movies might as well be in the front, because by the time you get out, every spot will be full guaranteed.

I can't believe the mentality some of you have about your S's. It's just a car. Shit there isn't an F250 out there made in the last 5 years that doesn't cost twice as much as an S2000 does.

Either way, if you park like an asshole you are ASKING for your car to get ****ed with.
