I do that often as well, but strategically against other factors. If I can get my passenger side parked close to the corral, it leaves extra room on the driver's side for buffer, against a car who may then park next to me.
I think that's the same one I posted about... it's painful to look at.Late to the thread, but I hate careless idiots too! Especially when they’re me! Had only had my truck for a little over a month, when I did this to it on the way home after a 12+ hour shift. Was going too fast, wanting to get home, and took an s-turn as if I had been in my Mustang. Learned real fast that a Ranger isn’t a Mustang when I skidded into a bollard.
Over $10k in damage, and the last part won’t arrive until the 26th, well over 2 months since the incident.
So yeah, it sucks when your truck gets dinged by some ignorant person. But it could always be worse. At least yours is drivable.
Good theory but idiots don't use line for a guide...they use the space between you and them...try hugging the end spot and EVERYTIME, a car will park hugging you as well... ?
My people!
I am quite sure 8 pages of this thread is about sharing various parking strategies and then a few pages about dents
I'm beginning to think that YOU think I'm an alcoholic. You're not wrong, but I think you're out of line.But he's driving a Ranger so he is special. ?
I don't do it but as long as you're way out in the back away from people I could care less if you park sideways taking up 2 spots.
Tom, maybe a few of these would help? lol...j/k
This is a good point too, but I also avoid the front of the lot. Normally it's toward the rear but the corral may offer better protection than out in the open when previously noted idiots can clip my front end as the text through the parking lot.
Flexible to all, except nose in parking..... that's only for TGD people.
I mean, I will sometimes. But I prefer to park like the Rock Star I am.
I love it!!

Give it time. With any luck it'll turn out like the thread "New California Gas Tax".I am quite sure 8 pages of this thread is about sharing various parking strategies and then a few pages about dents

"Don't tell me where to park the Ranger"...I love it!!
I can take it as much as I dish it out. Life's to short to be a grumpy old curmudgeon.
I felt bad after meeting my new neighbor because as he was walking off I hollered "if you need a hand with anything let me know!" He has an undeveloped arm due to birth defect.
