    I only take up TWO spaces and it's done INTENTIONALLY!!! It keeps me from getting more dings and scratches on my truck. NO, I do not park up close, I park in the south forty where no one usually parks anyway. SO leave me ALONE and quit bashing my truck!!!

    Why should the way I park piss you off?? It's not like I park in the closest spot and take up the spaces.

    Not all truck drivers think that way... some dirt bag guy in his lifted F-350 left a nice crease on the side of my bed. No other vehicles in the parking lot sat as high as the dent is... so it's not just Molly housewife, it Joe the plumber as well.

    If it's an empty parking lot, no big deal. If it's a packed parking lot, people should show some respect, and leave room for others.

    When I go to Lowe's and need to be able to put something in the bed of my truck or trunk of my car, I do take up more spaces because GUARANTEED, if I need to get behind my vehicle some BUTT HEAD has parked about 2 INCHES from my bumper to where I cannot load what I need to. So, my parking has emerged from the jerks who have to park super close to my vehicle.

    So, go ahead and park super close and see if you don't drive away with a new ding...

    By the way guys, if you haven't already tried it - polishing compound is a beautiful thing. Takes away a lot of that swapped paint.

    Let's paint a picture:

    Both hands gripping the wheel white knuckled staring straight ahead, lack of peripherial surroundings...Sound familiar? I watch out for these people.

    Other type: one hand gesturing in the air, wild swinging motions, engrossed in conversation on cell phone, paying attention to nothing else..need I go on?

    Oh. Almost forgot. Minivans

    Stick on hood scoop from Autozone.
    I was parked at my mom's work because I had to drop something off to her. I was there for 5 minutes. When I came back out, there was a huge dent right above the TRD sticker. It's about 3 inches top to bottom and fairly deep. I'm definitely getting that taken care of. I wish I had noticed what kind of car was parked next to me when I walked in so I could've dinged their car.

    I rode 30 miles with a person who should be the poster girl for Corolla-mounted sliders. She considered curbs to be 'suggestions'
