BMW owners love their cars!

I thought this scene was pretty funny.
It's pretty much an empty parking lot and only the BMWs have taken the end spots, me included.

im always tempted to take two spaces but never do, in fear of people are probably more likely to key your car for parking like an idiot.... i always try to park next to nicer cars who are going to respect their and others cars more

+1 - You buy the damn car because you love to drive it but you stress everytime you do. Personally I will feel better when the car has a couple years on it so I will not stress so damn much.

What a bunch of sissies. Parking on the end.


Ok, I do it myself at times, usually depends on how far away from the entrance.

problem with those spots is that people have to drive by the car coming around the corner, both sides of my truck got swiped like that.

Strategically speaking, the 7-series does not have a great spot as it is parked on the left end side of a row. Indeed, it is likely that someone is going to park on its right side where the driver will necessarily open his/her door!

Always try to find the end spot on the right side of a row...

You should have seen me backing up twice to get as close to the safe side of my spot at the golf course today. Almost had the tires in the mulch so anyone pulling in next to me, had PLENTY of room.
