Re: Avoiding Close Parkers!

Today, at the office. Parked at the back of the lot, car covered, gained a neighbor.



To be fair, it's a really clean 300, and he's parked at the outside edge of his spot, leaving plenty of room between us. But still, with 100s of other open spots?

And when they come out to see you parked next to them... do you think they feel any differently than you do?

im from Connecticut right by new haven and will agree as well, everyone in this state is miserable but it’s a great state. better once dan Malloy is out of office

I'd like to think (Hope ?) that the person in the 300 saw your car covered up and thought "Oh , this must be where the people who care about their cars park" and parked next to you figuring at least his driver's side is now safe
