Default Where do you park?

When I drive and see fellow Camaro drivers I look at how and where they park. Normally I see them Parking at the and of parking lots in any given parking lot. Has this been your experience too?

I choose what I consider the best spot for minimal damage but I don't park way out in a remote area. I bought my SS to drive and enjoy as a daily driver in the summer. I go to the drags and a road course a few times just to see how it's running. So far it's still a beast at the tracks, but it needs rear tires. Wonder why??

Thanks uncle_bob62000. Do you have a formula of what a safe place may be?

Well, I really do hate people who angle there car and take up 2 parking spots. Usually the garage is the safest but not for me. I've had 2 things fall against it but they rubbed off because I had the paint protection put on before I picked it up. Even if you park way, way off in a corner, you may not be safe. There are lots of curious people who would want to look at it closer and come over to park beside it. Actually, I think there as been a commercial about that.

4th choice is a drive through if I have to park beside another car. That's mainly because the 2010 Camaro is so hard to see where the fenders are.

3rd choice would be an end spot so 1 side would be protected

2nd choice would be away from the front entrance of the store I want to visit since that's where most people want to park

1 st choice would be about 2 rows over and a few spots away from a big group of cars, depending on how far I felt like walking

I use the small spot mirrors so I can see the yellow lines and know where I am between the lines and also as a spot check when changing lanes since there is such a blind spot on the sides of the car

Therefore 2+3=safest would be my best guess for a safe place (>:}

Totally agree about "who angle there car and take up 2 parking spots." I don't like this at all.
