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.
Just for the record, I usually don't park like that but I did it out of respect for his 3IS. I am not a boss and don't consider myself a boss. I few months ago I parked normally in a different part of the lot and came back to a long scrape on my rear driver side door. Doesn't matter how or where you park, people are going to ding your car. I will gladly park far away or like a "douchebag" to protect my car as it is not the "cost of a bottle of soda"

I bought them off Sewell when I got the car. The price was steep but I thought they were worth it.

You may not be a douchebag but many people believe you increase the likelihood of getting your car vandalized when you park like this. Sure someone can ding you if you park legitimately. But when you take up three parking spots between two cars, someone is bound to try to "teach you a lesson" by doing something worst than a car ding.

Save yourself the trouble, criticism, and misunderstanding by parking correctly.

Seems like Californians are more exposed to car vandalism from poor parking. Everyone that has posted about smashing windows or keying cars ect...are all from Cali

Just to clarify: this is not "poor parking" this is ******* parking and the logic is simple; if you have such an expensive car and you think you're better than anyone else demanding 2 spots for your car, you can sure afford a paint job and few puncture tires.
You should probably propose to your local authority that all cars over $30k and not older than 5 years to park on 2 spots from now on.

Wonder how would he feel when he parked like that and someone decided to severely vandalized his car then have someone else call the cops to issue him a ticket for improper parking. Do not tell me you have the $$ to pay for tickets when you put that front license plate on the side of your bumper lol. Tell me what would you do if that happens? QQ

Btw I park my IS350 F Sport properly and I never get a ding. You just need the brain to know how long would you take to get back and what kind of car is park next to you. If it happens then it happens, it's just a ding get it fix. Like everyone said here you're increasing the likelihood of vandalism and much worse. Reason you do not want a ding is to save money right? but you're INCREASING the chances of some much worse case scenario.

I like how you said you're parking like that out of respect for HIS 3IS, trust me I really do

It's already embarrassing enough to post something you believe is awesome to share, but get disagreed by the majority of the responses from mostly 3rd Gen IS owners, so please think if something more brilliant to respond to us.
