OK so its been bugging me that every time me and my girlfriend go out and take my car. That she gets really really mad that we park so far.
I tell her it's cause i'd rather not get hit and mess up my paint job..
NOw the question
Any of you guys have the same prob?
Am i going too far.. ie crossing the line?

i do the same thing after i got my car fixed last yr. my gf doesnt care about parking far though

^Dude i get so much poo for it.. its not even funny.. did she ever say anything about it?

Tell her to get over it.. Honestly, I doubt you park far enough that it takes like 30 minutes or something to walk to her destination.

yirichie.. your absolutely right. i park 1 floor up or like 100 steps away. its not that bad. I just had a doubt set in my head that maybe i was wrong to be doing so .I'm gonna tell her if she has a prob. then we'll take her ride...

nahh she doesn't actually lol she insists on parking far cause she doesn't wanna hear my mouth if I see a dent or anything wrong on my car :lol:

there was one time I went to walmart 4 weeks after getting my car back from the body shop, and I parked really far away near noone and when I came back a shopping cart was laying on my driver door. it dented it..I was ____ed.

I laugh at people that park a mile away just to avoid door dings.. hell I park right next to them sometimes when they are parked way out away from everyone else :rofl: Not trying to offend or anything.. but I think it is pretty ridiculous when someone goes that far out of their way.

I dont park next to people where the spot is cramped and I think a door ding is more probable.. but other than that I park with the rest of the world. While I like to keep my car nice, it is a car. May as well just leave it at home.. then it will never get damaged :D

well i park far away but i have it good i guess because my wife has a lifted 07 fj and she parks that dam thing farther away then i do

Tell her that a modded FJ should be covered in mud and already scratched up from the trails... not parked out so it doesnt get touched!

Just drop her off before you park. Then you can have that much more peace.

yeah i say that all the time but she does what she wants... o yeah for ur other post u are the type that parks right next to sombody i love it when someone does that to me i always have a socket set and some other tools with me i have gotton 6 cars so far i remove all there lug nutz and leave one loose and go park on the other side of the parking lot and watch the wheel come off funny as ____

i still park pretty far since i got my tC in June 2005. My GF doesnt mind, she's gotten used to it. now she does it in her new Camry. I dont park obviously at the end of the lot but at least 3-4 cars away from the last one. i have yet to get any door dings.

it used to ____ off my wife until she got her truck door dinged now she does the same thing, also helps against getting broken into cause the car is out there alone where everyone can see it

Its an effing parking lot.. hence people park next to you. I dont park too close, I dont mess with others cars (in other words, Im not an immature douche ;) ). And stop trying to sound clever and tough on the web by making up dumb crap you have done to peoples cars because they parked in the spot next to your precious $20,000 econobox :rofl:

tell her she is fat and needs to loose that weight

^ x2 lol..

my gf loves it when i park far cuz shes athletic and loves the walk since we have more time to talk i guess -_-; plus shes a car lover like me which is why she parks her is250 2 miles away from her school from all the car keying/ding/scratching idiots at junior colleges >.<

As long as it's a space within the parking lot, it's fair game. If it was too far, they wouldn't have painted a spot there to begin with! :rofl:

HAHA I still park near noone even at school I'm so used to driving the tC which is garaged now but I always walk n everyone hates when I drive XD

Dude.. your full of it about what you do to others cars. Just trying to be an uptight little ethug. Pull the stick out and stop pretending to be a tough guy :rofl: Plus... not being man enough to confront someone and instead physically taking it out on their car... well... that just makes you chicken ______ (even if you really did do what you claim).

And to the OP.. hopefully you can take a joke better than some of the little kids on here :P

Its up to you where you park... but if I were going to park way out of the way just to protect my car (which my wife may or may not be as interested in).. or even if the weather is nasty and I have to park way up.. I simply drop her off at the door and then go park. When we leave the store I go get the car and drive it up. That way you can park where ever you like and get credit for being a gentleman too ;)

^ Yeah i can take it. I'm a pretty leveled headed guy.. It's the internet for pete sake.. When i read make her walk cause she's fat... I couldnt help but laugh, for the sole reason that she is no where near even chubby...
And i park where i think its safest, Weather it be near a pole, a wall, so it brings down that odds that they'll only hit one side.. I've worked to hard on this car to just park it 2 inches away from anyones car, so they can just accidently hit my car.
anyway.. I just wanted to know if i was the only one..?
-Jose

why is she doing out of the kitchen then???

why is she doing out of the kitchen then???
IF thats a joke.... at least word it properly so i can laugh.... but all you did was put a very confused look on my face..
If your gonna e thug..
At least do it right.

i just park in between two spots.. rather get a few bux worth of parking ticket then a door ding thats going to cost me time and headache.. knock on good quality wood i havent gotten a ticket for it yet.. ____ed people but my car is safe..

doesnt parking in between 2 spots get ur car keyed by the angry lazy asses who get anal cause u took 2 space? lol just wondering cause i know people in cali n vegas are like that.

they will either kick ur car n leave a mark or key the ____ out of it for taking 2 good spaces.

I have to agree on the need to park normal. Bad attention is not a good thing :no: That'll get you a 10 mph shopping cart dent.

7 out of 10 cars out here where I live are POS's, the other 2.5 are just too new to be a door dinged dirt road abused POS's, then you have the .5 Me & my klan. And I got into it with the Bride yesterday because I almost parked across the street from the mall :rofl:

We are the minority even among our own. Most people can give two you know what's about their car, so if you want to keep it nice you'll need to walk.

Ding free & proud of it lol!

It Follows Me HAHA
Last Car In The Lot Everyday My Senior Year

Taking up 2 spots deserves someone boxing you in so you cant get out :rofl:

Yeah My Buddies Did That.... I Had to Go In Through The Trunk :loser: I Looked So Super Cool

A friend in college used to park his nissan pickup poorly... so his buddies picked the back up (ebrake on with truck in neutral) and wheeled it like a wheelbarrow around and set it over a large parking block :D

hahaa at my school they took some kids wheel off n threw it up on top of a building

Lol. My senior year .. i made arrangements with one of the teachers so i could park in his spot in the faculty parking lot.. Best parking ever!!!!

Given that unless your car is a trailer queen that never sees the blacktop, pebbles, gravel, trucks, accident debris, birds, etc - it's pretty much inevitable you're gonna get damage. Even if you're paranoid to the point of parking in the exact center of a giant empty parking lot, there's just no way to protect your stuff. I recommend you accept the cruel hand of fate and resign yourself to the certainty of your car, getting damaged at some point down the line.

Assuming you like your girlfriend and want her to stick around, just park wherever it's most convenient.

My tC is a daily driver and I park at the back of the lot at most stores, and at work. If I don't park at the back of the lot, it's usually by a curb, wall, or pole. I try to be on the end and avoid tight spaces. My gf jokingly makes fun of me every time we park. She says "Heaven forbid someone park next to your Ferrari" LOL. Oh well, she is cool enough to deal with it and understands where I'm coming from. Sometimes I drop her off at the door if it's cold or rainy out. Not like she is going to break up with me over a habit I've had for 8 years now. Not going to change.

I park away from everybody, my girl dont care, walking is good for you anyway! I did get hit by a shopping cart once though.

My car has been keyed a few times and has a nice plethora of door dings on it. I usualy park as far out as possible; most of the time I park behind the store or try to find where the employees park.

Its not everyday you hear the word Plethora, and when u do, give props for using it! haha

I read that word in one place i'd never thought i would... Good job hix

:rofl: I would rather have a plethora of pinatas then door dings.

I park at the back of the lot or the back of the building, doesn't matter if I'm in the xB or the dodge, mostly because the dodge has no power steering and I prefer parking where I can take up 2 spots with it and no one will get ____ed and where I can pull through

well it has nothing to do with clever yes no ____ it is a parking lot but i no all the parking lots around me are f in huge so there is plenty of parking lot for me to be bymyself all the way in the back.. i do the samething when i am in my 1984 f150 now that thing is a beast haha... if somebody parks at the back of the lot for any reason..may they like to walk or just keep there car away from _______s. it could be in whatever for whatever and a _______ like u parks right next to them then who is the real immature douche me for ____ing up ur car or u for going out of ur way to be a _______ and i love my $20,000 terdcan, $500 truck, and my $35,000 fj so yes i work hard for them so they are precious to me.. now this is my last post on this thread so say what u wish about me or pm me if u want to resolve a problem but i will not thread jack no more this guy was just asking if he was in the wrong and wanted to no if anyone else did the same thing and u had to be the _______ to make a smart ___ coment.....

If I ever see a tC parked all alone in a giant parking lot, I'm going to intentionally door ding the living hell out of it. If you learn how to use punctuation, I'll try to keep myself from doing it.

holy crap, 1slowtc is 1specialtc LOL


edit: cuz im cool lik ethat

fml.com theres 2 1slowtc's :(

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

One reason I bought the xB is because I can wedge it in anywhere to park, so I park wherever.
