The same thing that is wrong with walking around flipping people off. Both activities draw a bunch of negative attention to you or your car. If you like that kinda thing have at it...

Spend 5 bucks, use the valet!

Short note to Chevy -- any MSRP over $ 35K deserves a valet key or separate keyed lockable storage.

Astute observation! Hey Ric, you gittin' battened down?

Good news this a.m. is that Ernesto might just graze the east coast and stay tame.

Yea it looks like it might just fizzle out. I think by tomorrow we should be able to tell if it stays formed. I have everything I need except for gas. I have a whole system for preparing for no electricity. All extension cords, plug adapters, box of flashlights, 2 pedestal fans and generator. I can be up watching DirecTV and fridges running with fans blowing in a half an hour. :-) Got plenty of practice and been through enough to have all the components I need worked out.

What number was yours? With only 2048 built it would be fun to track it down. This could turn out to be some story.

  1. What good would that do if a Valet Jock parks the vette next to another car ?! Thats what im trying to avoid . Reread my OP.

  1. There is no 'valet parking' at the corner diner .

The Orig. post is a serious topic , and shame to you folks who chose to revert to sarcasm ; waving to your fellow Vette Hobbiest and putting him down on a public Forum is the epitomie of hypocrisy. Dont do it for the sake of the Hobby .

Well, this is a really simple issue. It is either just a car, and you park it like one, or it is way more than just a car to you, and your options are slim, you don't take it to places you have to leave it parked unattended.

My daily driver is a 2005 black very large Class 4 MDT truck, it's 10 feet wide (counting the mirrors, the bed is 98 inches wide) & 23 feet long. I ALWAYS park it in-between the lines (sometimes actually touching the lines on each side).

One of my pet peeves is someone driving a big pickup (even the largest one-ton dully crew cab is still smaller than my truck) who can't get it straight into one parking spot, if they get in or out while I am there, though I would NEVER vandalize their rudely parked vehicle, I do tell them "If you can't park it, don't drive it".

If you don't mind attracting the over abundance of negative attention that parking in more than one parking spot draws, out of many people, for many different reasons, (not unlike cutting in line or flipping people off) go ahead and try to justify that to yourself. Just don't be surprised when someone does something nasty to your car.

You asked a question Dave, there is my answer, with NO sarcasm or hypocrisy.

If there are no cars usually parked there, why do you need two spots?

What makes you more special than anyone else in taking up 2 spots?

REPLY: To me (and every other 'new' Vette owner that ive met), it is not just a car and is much more. True, options are slim ; I try not to take it to places where it will be unattended for very long. But, i do take it to places where i might be away from it for up to 30 minutes.

REPLY: ANd that i appreciate. Thanks.

'whats wrong with taking two spaces on the outside of the parking lot where there are no cars usually parked there to begin with. '

If there are no cars usually parked there, why do you need two spots?

REPLY: In case more cars come and park next to yours. (?) . A lot might be fairly empty at one point, but an hour later it can be different.

What makes you more special than anyone else in taking up 2 spots?

REPLY: Its not an issue of being special (although thats what may go thru on Observers mind) ; its a matter of trying to keep your new Car from getting devalued by numerous dings and scratches from careless people. Frankly, I dont mind if non-Corvette Owners want to take up more than one space so long as they are tactful about it . If someone is trying to look after their new car that they worked hard to get, then, i appreciate their concern.
