Parking Lot Nonsense

If I need to go somewhere where I need/have to park in a public lot, I take my Jeep. So far it has been impervious to parking lot damage.

The Mustang might go to work occasionally (small lot, ~12 cars and I know everyone), but other than that the only spot it parks is my garage or a car night event.

Funny thing, when u trade in your car the dealers don't really care how good you took care of the car, they automatically assume the car has door dings and some damage! Selling it privately is a different story though!

Mini van drivers are some of the worst drivers, they are usually dented and scratched to oblivion. They can't seem to stay in one lane, never signal when turning, slow down to well below the limit on main roads, are usually oblivious to anyone else on the road and will always make a right on red into oncoming traffic that is already in the intersection and then slam on their brakes, wtf, and, my all time favorite make either a right hand turn from the left lane crossing over three lanes of traffic to do so with a phone in their ear or a left turn from the right lane also across three lanes of traffic. Total menaces on the road always with a damn phone to their ear.

Don't even get me started on women driving huge Suburbans, Escalades, Hummers, or big ass Ram with an extended cab trying to maneuver into or out of a parking spot that's too small and only for economy cars with a toe hitch on the back using one hand because their other hand is holding a goddamn cellphone to their ear. Or my favorite ass hat that drives an extended cab that can't park straight and the back end is totally encroaching the rear end of the poor car immediately next to them so that the rear of their truck is completely blocking the person next to them from backing out of the spot making that person have to wait for them to return to said truck to pull out so they can finally pull out.

People are spiteful creatures. They see your shiny new toy and out of jealousy they want to do what they can within legal limits (sometimes illegal) to take away from the experience of having a brand new car.

I have a co-worker who's car was banged on the driver side rear in a parking lot somewhere (took her awhile to notice it she says). So she doesn't exactly know when her car was hit but it was.

When I finally got my car I told myself I'd do my best to park away from people within reason so basically a spot or two away from everyone else and also that spot had to be blocked on one side by something where people couldn't park. This would at least offer up some sort of protection.

I found the perfect spot at work and started parking there. No one ever bothered to park in this spot due to the walking distance from the spot to the main door.

Maybe after about two weeks I come to work one day and find the woman I mentioned earlier's banged up car in that spot. I thought maybe it was because there were no spots. Next day same thing until after about two weeks I finally asked her about it and she said she never realized what a good spot it was until I started parking there and first comr first serve.

To this day we both are having a subliminal war over this parking spot lol. If she gets it before me I just park my car elsewhere where the spot is blocked on one side. If I get the spot first she parks RIGHT NEXT to me even though there are a plethora of open spots.

People man lol. But hey that's life brotha.

It makes me laugh to go through so much to keep my car's finish in tip top shape. I come home and the damn neighbor has her two years playing kickball and catch and riding their toys all over my driveway. I almost ran one over because I didn't see the little guy while I was parking. They usually clear the driveway to let me park then when I go inside they start playing right next to my car.

I haven't said much to the neighbor but she has joked about my car being my trophy so she understands how much it means to me. I haven't had the convo with her because she has a horrible attitude and I'd rather not argue with her, her two year olds, and her ghetto boyfriend. I don't want to have to calling the cops.

Stay strong out there my fellow Mustang brothas and sistas.:cheers:

That's bs right there. They need to play in their own driverway. If they don't have room to play on their own that's not your problem. Playing around peoples vehicles is never okay. That's asking for trouble, her allowing it. Them being trashy or not, you really should say something. Something will happen, whether its sooner or later, its unavoidable. She blatantly has no respect for your property (yard) or respect for your car. Shes a damn bitch. You have every right to tell her to have them play in their own yard. It is your property after all. If her kids gets get hurt on your property she can sue you.

Good luck with neighbors like that.

I'm sure that's precisely her plan. Hoping one gets injured on his property so she can capitalize. Sounds like a pice of shit, no good, menace to society. BUT, she may be a reeeeal nice lady otherwise LOL.

I almost forgot to mention the jerks that drive these giant extended cabs with scooters towed on the back of their already ridiculously huge trucks with the back end sticking so far out of their handicapped spot that no one can pull out of the spots behind them or drive through the parking lot because theirs no room for car to fit through the tiny space that's remaining.

I had a similar situation many years ago. My idiot neighbors never supervised their kids while playing outside and the kids were young, ranging from 4 to 9 and they had three kids. The kids always played in front of my house their bikes littered my driveway and walkway and when I got angry one afternoon because I had to get out of my car to move their bikes so I could get into my garage then the little brats through a ball into my garage hitting my month old s197 so I took the ball and threw it in my trash. The little brats went crying to the drunk father who proceeded to come out of his house in his bathrobe at 3 in the afternoon to confront me. I told the shining example of a father to watch his damn kids and have them play in his driveway in front of his home but he probably didn't want to listen to them screaming and playing, guess what, neither do I. He then tells me to go have another beer, smh, who is wearing a bathrobe at 3 in the afternoon and is drinking? Not me. Guess what happened next, he called the police on me because I wouldn't give his brat the ball back after it dented my trunk, kids shouldn't play in the street with a baseball, not a tennis ball, a fucking baseball! The bitch cop told me if I didn't want to deal with kids I should go live in the middle of nowhere. I told her that maybe pos parents like herself should discipline their nuisance kids and slammed the door in her face. Fortunately I lived in a rental and moved soon after.

I wouldn't be shocked, people are calculating pieces of shit a lot of the time. Kids hurt themselves all the time. She knows itll happen in his driveway eventually. First scraped knee or trip, she'll be either trying to sue or yelling at him like its his fault. Either way neighbor is going to be pissed. Its not good what he has going on.

That cop didn't want to do his job. Im pretty sure if you've told someone to stay off your property its trespassing. While the sidewalk is the city's not yours. But if they are leaving things or playing in your driveway or yard, its trespassing. Also if they leave the bikes on your sidewalk and no one is around, id throw the damn things away. They can't prove you did it, people steal bikes all the time, its their fault for leaving them out. My parents had raised me to put my bike away or in someones garage if I had ridden it to a friends house. There really needs to be a parent competency test before being allowed to have children. :frusty:

I wish you could interview neighbors before moving in or them moving next to you. :lol:

When I was still on the job working auto theft we parked our nice car out in "no mans land" as bait to attract car thieves. We could sit a good distance away sometimes hiding in a car in the middle of other cars.

Its possible someone might be a former police officer screwing with the local guys thinking its a decoy vehicle or it might be a would be car thief (which is more common) If you park your Mustang in "no mans land" in a parking lot, make sure you don't have anything of value visible in it... Jut my thoughts.

I am REALLY particular about where I park. This Sunday I went to a car show in a very nice area. I was forced to park on the grass between 2 cars. I had about 5 feet on each side, they could have swung the doors all the way open and not touched my car. I go to my car and low and behold, a ding with the paint taken down to the metal on my driver side. Looked to me like someone threw something at the car. I am beyond pissed, every nice car I've owned has been a target by some jealous asshole. I have had some horrible luck, including getting side swiped in my 5 month old 12 GT when it was parked. I decided I'm trading it in soon and buying a 5000 dollar truck that I don't give a fuck about. I'm tired of worrying about it every day. It sucks that people these days have no respect for others people's property.

I know we all can be devious when talking about these stories... But I wouldn't take the risk of picking the bike up and throwing it away as you don't know who might be watching. What you do is run the bike over, then jump out and move the bike to the neighbors property. You shouldn't damage your car, don't run it completely over, just drive up on it enough to bend it out of shape...

If you feel particular, leave a note on the bike that says something like, "I didn't see your kids bike parked (in front or behind), sorry about that". And if you did that once or twice, trust me, you will never see another bike on your property again. When people don't listen you have to do things to cost them money. Its kind of the same theory behind traffic tickets...

He obviously did that park job on purpose since there are tons of empty spots in the parking lot. What a jackass.

Yeah - he did do it on purpose.

What you don't see is that I am clear in the middle of the damn parking lot at 11:00 at night on a Monday - there are a couple of cars around from the store employees, it was a grocery store stop to get my wife a bottle of Advil for her migraine on my birthday...

I parked on the end of a row of parking up against a planter, I had concrete in front of and beside my car on the drivers and front... I literally could not get my car out.

The car immediately next to the truck was his buddy - when he walked up and saw us standing there he didn't even walk up to his truck, he instead tried to get in the passenger side of his buddies car....

his buddy then looked at him and said what the hell are doing - get in your truck....

I wasn't suggesting that for everyones case, but more specifically hers. Its obviously on a case by case basis. Im not sure id want to run the bikes over in my wifes truck. It very well could damage something. The point really is, peoples kids should play in their own yards. Which running over their bike I doubt would solve that issue. Just where they leave it.
