not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend to make her more desireable for her next boyfriend.

only issue with this particular spot is some asshat in a blue awd civic stationwagon parks here from time to time and leaves huge piles of mud all over the spot

lol that is exactly what i do

The main lots in front of the building and side of the building is where everyone parks and those are always full. There is a 2 level parking garage 30 feet away, the top level with no cover so basically just another lot. I park there because nobody parks next to me and it is only a 30 feet walk further than if I parked in the regular lot.

Mostly, my 3g stays at home (depends on my work hours and weather)....I daily my 99 TL.

When i drive my 3G its in a vacant parking lot near my work, maybe 75 yards away(the other building closed and no one else uses that parking lot)

When I used to work at my old place where I parked in a multi-level parking structure, I always parked way at the top (before the open top lot). Usually not many people venture that far up the structure and I still get covered parking.

Well if I take my other bitch to work it doesn't really matter where I park.



When I take the tl to work it gets front and center spot.. only one in the yard besides the trucks!

I park in the far end of my work garage, at least a couple hundred feet from the nearest vehicle.
Usually there's some jackass parked right next to me by the end of the day

You guys will like this...I get to park in the lot right across from a Morton salt mine 100 yards of the shore of Lake Erie. Yea, I can trust the people I park next to won't ding my door, because there's only 10 cars in the lot...but theres guaranteed a nice white coating of salt/gravel over my NBP.

When I'm driving it I keep it away from all the madness!


When It's not being driven, it stays at the shop.


Outside the shop & going back in.

I unfortunately have to park in a really crowded multi level garage so I try to find a spot next to a wide handicap space or partially in a no parking zone like shenrie. Parking across multiple spots is a surefire way to get rage targeted.

diagonal double parking in the middle of a row. that's a good way to piss a few people off, and possibly get your car keyed. i personally wouldn't care, but there are people out there with anger issues. you kind of make yourself stand out even more.

at least find an end space or a corner space and do that, but not right in the middle of the parking lot no matter how far you are away from the front door.

haha that sux, no door dings cause...... no car

the wheels on my car are 19x9.5 all around and im too low, (tire size numbers have rubbed off) looks SUPER nice parked, but driving sux, im raising it and taking the front bumper off so it can go into the shop to get clutch replaced, stupid throwout bearing came off, and it's rolling in the tranny

and i park way on the end of the parking lot (it's pretty big) most of the time my car is over there by itself, at public places i try to find a curb and park real close to it, it scratched my front lip doing that , i was pissed

Its a struggle to find any parking where I work. Mostly street parking, though If I'm lucky I can park in the alley gate at work if we aren't getting deliveries that day. I try and avoid the parallel parking unless I can get an end spot since so many people park by braille here. *ing Chicago.

My legs are in great shape because I'm always walking from far away to my destination-because that's how far away I park.
