Parking Paranoia - Irrational Moi ?

<< < (4/6) > >>

dazza:
I tried my best to keep the dings out but its hard here. Lots of apartments minimal street parking and the smallest parking spaces ever. And its normal to bump cars when parking.

Degudodger:
Where we used to live, if my favourite spots (I had four) were not available I had been known to either drive home and walk back or just not bother.

We moved down the road to Southampton nearly two years ago and the Local Sainsbury's have some amazing parking bays to the point where on a busy Saturday afternoon you can guarantee you'll be able to get a "special" bay.

Dogma:
I bought and drive an old polo for this reason. Keep my nice ED30 and Corrado away for this sort of stuff. People just do not respect other people’s pride and joys.

It is extremely liberating driving around in a 'cheap heap'.   I had a £500 E34 525i estate for that reason and the opposite happened.  Everyone gave it a wide berth!!  If I parked it in a corner, there were no cars surrounding it when I came back out.  I think the psychology there is, the cheaper the car, the less the owner gives a sh*t.

That car was also a stark reminder of how cheaply made German cars are these days, BMWs especially.
