I have found most people that I have come across are understanding of why I am so protective...I have had a couple of issues with someone just trying to "knocking people off the high horse"...so I wait for them and see what their problem is...and I give them my little explanation...and if they still are being jerks...I let them know I have also been bodybuilding and training for over 30 yrs...If they wish to have a violent reaction...I will certainly be happy to accommodate them...

^hahahah! amiriteoramiriteriterite! hahah...I love walking out and seeing a mustang parked next to me and I love the fact that everyone that drives a mustang waves at you as you drive by them, no matter where you are! It's a great group to be a part of and I'm glad I get to experience it!
Then, you get hit by a car....

It does startle people, but to this day no one has messed with the car even in the slightest- although it did cost a small fortune to have it installed I think for a car like yours it is a must if you do not already have one!

You got one of those viper alarms? My dad had one put on his car when he bought it (suburb kids are azzholes sometimes) and it has an alarm when anyone with out the key fob gets closer than like 1ft.

Pulls a lot of attention to your car. May not be "selfish" since you're far out but people will think "hey, look at that douche. He's a show off taking up all those spots. Think's he's better than everyone else". There are plenty of people out there in the world that wouldn't mind knocking people off the high horse.

Very well stated. I would never damage anyones car but my reaction is something like "what does he think he's driving a Ferrari". Personally I will find a curb side island spot as they seem to be wider spots and getting to show very early allows me to do this. I have a retireed friend who also shows up early and parks next to me leaving lots of room so I can relax for the afternoon. As far as taking the car to a mall or for that matter anywhere a car can park beside me, not a chance never nada nope. It just wont happen. The car is 25 months old and has exactly ZERO rock chips door dings etc and I am going to keep it that way.

I usually park far away, but don't usually take up multiple spaces. Now sometimes I do park ****ty, but oh well no one was going to park that far out anyway.
And like Ace said, yeah it may not be a Ferrari, but I know I love my car just as much as any Ferrari owner. However I do think taking up three parking places is just asking for someone to hurt your car.
