I hate parking lots now!

since i got my Tacoma i been parking really really far or try to figure out where the employees park and park my truck there, I dont want some dumbass to open a door into my truck
anyone else do this?

 

yep, and it pisses the wife off lol

 

the gf always complains about it, i dont go way out of the way but i def. dont go "looking" for "good spots"

 

Get some sliders...

 

As a former Corvette owner...it is 2nd nature to me.

 

i have running boards. besides, ive found its always when i do park far away from other cars is when i get a runaway buggy into the side of my truck. so i just park wherever

 

I've found that lots of times you park a ways off by yourself and when you come out there is still someone on each side of you with no one else in a blocks area.

 

First spot I see I take. Dings and scratches happen, even in my own driveway. (Kids). My wife always wants me to stalk for close spots. Not me. I'm already in the store while she'd still waiting.

 

LOL my wife too.my wife wont let me park 900 miles away from everyone.so i tell her if i do a 6" lift,35s, and rock sliders i wont have to worry about door dings.
she still aint going for it

 

Keep fightin the good fight!

I just park farther so I've got more time to admire my truck on the walk back.

 

Yup! I have sliders and I'm no longer worried about that happening!

 

I try to park away from everybody when possible. I hate parking by people who are careless and in a hurry.

 

x2

 

Same here!!

 

Another vote for sliders

 

I always park faraway and next to a curb so only one other can park next to me

 

the gf actually helps me find the good parking spots either far away or the ones that are at the corners so i can park as close to the edge and leave more than enough room on the other side so the car next to me can open the door without touching my truck...

 

I'm used to the flaws in my paint by now. Lots of rock chips from the highway and scratches from the trail. Some A-hole decided to drive against my front fender/bumper in a Safeway parking lot last spring, mostly paint transfer but its still noticeable. Just need a nice steel bumper and sliders. Parking lot armor.

 

I always hunt for corner spots so at least half of my truck will be ok. Also parking by curbs helps too and gives the gf another step to get in and out of my truck. Brownie points for later!
