Most of the cars and trucksI've owned have been black and I hate door dingsso parking out in BFE is normal for me.Everyone of them, including this one,draw cars way from the stores out to the far side of the lot. One of these day I've got to stop that person with the 4.2 kids in the suv and ask them "WHY?". It's just one of those things, I guess, thatyou have to live with.

i always park next to the curbs or the islands so there is only one spot for someone 2 park next to me...i just about put my tires on the curb 2 so theres a good foot from my car to the lines...but yea i guess ppl like parking next to nice cars...
+1 always try and get next to a curb then take the spot next to me up a little so nobody is next to me

Just a piece of advise....DONT take up 2 spots!!!! This will just **** people off more and make your car that much more of a target. I know how we all are about our cars and how f-uped it is when someone does something to it....but if you take up 2 spots your just asking for it.

i had that happen a couple of times but the car that park nex to me are nice cars but it is funny that there are 100 spots around me with now one in them and they park next to me lol
That's what I mean. Like if I go to a mall or a supermarket or what have you, and there's endless parking spaces around my car. I go out of my way to park far out when everyone else is being lazy and fighting for the closest spot they can get. Ipark, go in, no problem. But when I come out, there's mom's minivan with the two carseats in the back parked right next to my car. [:@]Sometimes I'll circle my car and make sure everything looks okay. It's just aggravating when people do that.

Maybe she's as proud of that minivan as you are about the Mustang.
