Default How often does this happen when you park?

I went to the local wine shop to grab a few for the weekend, and as usual parked well away from the shopping carts and ding masters.

When I returned to my car, there was a C63 AMG and M3 huddled near me in the same section of the lot.

I guess car aficionados all think the same way when it comes to parking.

I do the same thing and have seen the same thing. When you see a cool car I usually want a closer look.

LOLM3 that is a great photo. Three of the finest but it just goes to show you that even though the arguments rage as to which is the best, the camaraderie does show through in scenes like this. Though I have traded my '12 ISF for a '13 C63 AMG (P31/LSD and a bunch of other stuff) I still have an affinity for the IS F and know that it is a potent machine that rides well with the M3 and c63. Yours looks particularly good in the middle of these most amazing machines.

I see that once in awhile.

What I hate is when a 2 dollar car thinks it's funny to park near me when I'm parked way the f out

I had a BMW 1m, Audi S4, C63 parked next to me, as I took a nap in my car while waiting for my wife at her work.

My wife now tells me that they all park next to her is350

i always usually park next to the island area if the parking lot has one.. This usually eliminates one side not being parked next to.. 1 side is better than 2 lol....

The fiance always makes fun of me saying ' do you think you can park a little further next time" lol

I have had this happen to me and not sure if he was an enthusiast or just trying to mess with me...like why didn't he park on the passenger side so you would not have touble getting in your car? People at my work make fun of me for parking way out...they act like I think I am special or something...actually I do it to protect my investment and so I don't have to deal with dings, etc...once I had a nightmare ordeal when I owned a MK3 Supra Turbo and it go scratched... It took forever to get it fixed right!

At work I park next to the island and a friend always parks next to me so no worries about dings. When I go somewhere always park away and usually find something nice parked next to me or somone in the ****tiest car then I go crazy making sure there are no dings.

Well...they know you won't ping them and they won't ping you. Win/Win.
