That's a surefire way to get MORE people to fuck with your ride. Nobody likes a douche making douche moves such as taking up two spots with a car that could nearly fit two of itself in ONE spot.

To the OP: Sorry about your car. That's just a bummer thing to happen to a brand new car. I hit a piece of tractor trailer tire on I95 about 3 weeks after getting mine and cracked the front bumper lip right in the middle. Had no choice but to chalk it up to "shit happens."

Nah...it's not. Been doing that since the day I bought it...and no one has even come close...will keep on doing it too. I also make it a point to park a little farther out where there are less vehicles. As for being able to fit two of these in one spot...I can, and have, made mine take up four.

Out of curiosity, why would you even do that? Just going for your all time personal best?

You may have been lucky so far, but it's just a matter of time before someone does something because of the way you're parked!
Nah...I'm not worried about those who would have a problem with the way I park...doubt jail time would be worth to them anyway...more worried about the person who mistakingly swings their door open hard, kids who just don't know any better, or old ladies who don't know how to back up the truck that is way too big for them to drive hitting my ride...

Wife and I went out to lunch with our Sheriff and his wife (work related). He likes to take up two spaces too...so I took up four...but...yes...that is my all time personal best.

Anyway...Lorenzo...unclenefeesa is right...there should be cameras at your DMV...could be worth a shot...

Parking across 2 spaces will be seen by many as an arrogant act that some will respond to by vandalizing your ride. I'll park in an open, distant part of the lot, but in a space.

I do the same thing too, so far I've manage to avoid door dings on my Yaris.
