    ED51F543-BDA7-46E0-96D5-B92CF2D61F53.jpg at work my boss called me in to the office said we need to talk about how I parked my truck.
    Hey said I might be going little too far with parking.
    I let them know that I parked away from everybody.
    Hey says what he meant was the cones I said you said seeing on taco Tuesday.

    I park any vehicle I'm driving always in the farthest back 40 of any parking lot !!! . I get two benefits from this , one is piece of mind no one will park near it and the other benefit is added cardio exercise from walking

    I laugh everytime I see able body people trying to find the closest parking spots, they're friggin lazy !!!

    Im currently fighting someone over insurance right now at work because they parked less than a foot away and scratched my door.

    An ideal solution. But I am not a fan of the look of sliders.

    Nice. Might be a little overboard :rofl:.Here's what an 18 year old did on his 2nd of work to my truck. He was in a Toro work cart. Scary to think he drives a real motor vehicle on busy roads.

    See this all the time at the gym. People trying to park as close to the door as they can, only to go in and walk or run on a treadmill.

    I know the OP is just having fun with this thread, but permit me a war story...

    Many years back, I bought my wife a brand new Mercedes ML320 which she was incredibly proud of. She would park it at the unused end of parking lots to keep it like-new for as long as possible.

    Some time within the first year she took the kids to their afternoon baseball games and parked in her usual spot. When I got off work, I parked beside her to join her at the games. I immediately noticed the vehicle had been keyed. Hood...trunk...doors...all four quarter panels.

    Naturally l called the police. They looked at her car and just said “kids...happens all the time.” She parked beyond the range of the security cameras. Complete repaint job.

    Even now I’m scared to make too much of a statement when I park. :mad:
