Stuck out from the parking space you mean? The owner should be flogged for such poor parking skills!

Is it really that hard to park properly ??? In the nicest way I hope an old dear took his front bumper and wing clean off in her Honda civic for parking like a cock !

Personally i think it looks god awful, the sort of car every council estate resident should aspire to own.
just my opinion of course (hopefully some council types have better taste

)

Simple solution, dont take it to car parks

Got to say I always park across two spaces but miles away from the store. When Im in my daily driver I always park far away but only take up one space. No matter how quiet the car park is you will alway find some twat parking next to you when you return.

Might get flamed for this, but I usually park in the parent and child spaces, not because they are close to the door, because sometimes they aren't, but because they are nice and wide so its too far away for the careless knob in the car next to you to open their door into the side of your car.
Why should i be excluded from using them just because I haven't got kids? I just want to keep my nice car nice.............
In an emergency, 325 is the quickest way to go.......

im quite happy with disabled and those stupid parent and child spaces....less ignorant fucks parking in normal spaces
some guy took me on for parking in 2 spaces....i told him to fuck off and he then walked to his car and dinged the one next to him with his door
far easier to park well away from everyone else and walk the extra 2 minutes

For me, the angel eyes were the step too far. I could probably live with the front apart from that.
