Default Impromptu 3IS meet at my gym

Saw this guy's 3IS parked by itself at my gym this morning so I thought I'd take up 2 parking spots next to him. Left him plenty of room. Thought to myself "I know this guy wont ding my car". We owned a small portion of the parking lot Have regular IS250 next to my slightly modded IS350 FSport. Thought it was pretty cool. The guy that drives the IS250 is atleast 60 years old and I'm 24. Both have great taste in cars

my wife and i went out for my birthday dinner this past weekend. i parked in a garage in the last lane (woo-hoo!). the last lane allowed me to utilize some extra space on the driver side. parked a little lopsided so that i had more space away from the car on my passenger side. as i started walking away, i thought of three things immediately: 1) damn my car looks as fine as my wife lol, 2) parking is a little crooked but that was the point right?, and 3) i wonder if leaving so much room away from other cars and parking crooked like that would stand out and entice a bad group of people to notice my car and do damage/vandalize?

for instance, has there ever been a time where you see a nice car and either the driver was present or not, but did something with his car that gave you this impression like, "dude thinks he's so cool with his effing car!" well thats the thought i had when i was walking away..not that i thought i was trying to be cool, but was afraid people were going to get the wrong impression,... i'm just glad nothing happend, but i know there are either jealous people, thugs, or car jackers out there that could potentially do or think of doing something bad to other ppl's cars.. but i guess thats the fact and the real world we face and can't get away from..

Why did you blur the plate numbers in all but the first 2 pics?

While it's a good way to avoid door dings and such but you're asking to be keyed, you'd be surprised of how many haters/jealous people out there.

Nice cars btw

Yup, haters are gonna hate. I see the BMW's and Benzos in the background are parked proper.

Lol, you got the guts to park like that. If I saw that I might not do anything or maybe...... People who key you aren't jealous or hating, they just want to teach you how to park properly with respect. I would never park my IS350 F Sport like a boss because I know I'm not, but are you? If an IS350 F Sport is the cost of a bottle of soda for you then you're the boss! Well I did remember someone claim they park like this and came back seeing all 6 of their windows broken, I wouldn't think you want that to happen lol.

The subliminal message here is "I bought myself a Lexus and I park like a douche everywhere I go"
