E46 BMW 330 ZHP Version of Where's Waldo

[illirep]

I always park far from other cars, but there is a subconscious fear that it would make my car a bigger target for theft. Anyone else share that concern?

[johnrando]

I've wondered that too. Be interesting to know if statistics prove that out.

[Rovert]

We're never guaranteed anything where ever we park. It could be the only spot within 1 mile and still get bird bombed or have people who want to park next to you just because. LOL. I've just learned to not Waldo park and blend in with everyone else. I've never had an issue in 8 years doing that. But then if we all did what I do, there'd be no Waldo Parking thread! So guys keep doing what you're doing if it works! LOL

Not sure about theft, but I wonder sometimes if it makes the car a bigger target for getting keyed...

I park on my manager's spot when she is out. It's a good one, as you can see. But, I prefer to leave my BMW at home whenever possible. Somebody hit my bumper in this same garage the other day. Why risk it happens again ?

Love that one. When with Joop the other night, William parked in the next to last parking row, with no one around at all and plenty of spaces. When we got back to the car, there was a pickup truck right next to him (with plenty of other spaces around). Someone was definitely being a d*#$. Maybe they thought their truck deserved that parking, but if so, pick another spot.

There's always that one funny guy who just can't stand not to be an asshole. Definitely a major pet peeve of mine.

[fredo]

The only "Waldo parking" incident for me happened in Wal Mart. I still had my e46 and parked away from the crowd, as usual. When I came back I found fresh bubble gum on the top of my rear bumper. No damage, no biggie. But I still wonder why the lack of respect ?

[kayger12]

Had to make a beer run. The liquor store lot is door-ding hell. I opted for plan B: the closed flooring place across the road. :). This pic was taken standing immediately in front of the entrance to the liquor store.

Disclaimer: this is not Waldo parking. I just discovered this Mini benefit: If I pull forward all the way in there's a good chance I can avoid door dents from the cars parked next to me. Please be advised this technique should not be used in lieu of Waldo parking.

It's too crowded around here for me to park backwards all the time (too many cars for the amount of spaces) so I typically park forward unless there is no one around who has to wait for me. THEN I park backwards.

Post #1:
"Ok-- so most of us do it. When it comes to parking our cars, we strive for a position of tactical advantage.

We remove any threat of swinging car doors by parking somewhere that either cuts in half or totally precludes the chance of someone parking next to us.

We select a position upwind of any shopping carts or cart storage areas and, when possible, try to select an area with a physical barrier to prevent errant carts from homing in on our precious conveyances."

Ok-- so most of us do it. When it comes to parking our cars, we strive for a position of tactical advantage.

We remove any threat of swinging car doors by parking somewhere that either cuts in half or totally precludes the chance of someone parking next to us.

From the OP....this is what I was trying to accomplish.

I parked at the back of the Costco lot where it was completely empty around me when I went inside. Came back out to find a new "friend" right next to me despite all the other empty spots. I dunno, maybe he had the same idea as me and figured we would be careful around each other's car?

It's a turbo, so I believe it's worth a good chunk of change. The only modifications I could see were some white gauges and one or two additional gauges on the inside.

Not easy! I had to open up the full resolution pic, and assume you had the car hidden even more than the last picture.

For sure, nice detective work.

[theothersawyer]

It's hard for me to concentrate and do my job at work when I park in this parking spot. I can see the car from every window in the restaurant! I catch myself looking at the car and not paying attention to the guests!

That was on the way out.

Did the same thing at the small mall in town and at Kroger. For some strange reason momma wasn't seeing my logic.
