I'll take a spot in the back, and try to get beside a curb so only one other person can pull in beside.Besides, it's usually quicker to park at the back and walk than spending 10 minutes looking for a stall.

Yesterday at the tiny vet clinic parking lot, there was one open stall. There was a P.O.S. truck parked too close to one of the lines, and in the other stall there was another P.O.S...an Explorer with dents and dings all over it. There's no way that was worth it, so I parked on the street in a METERED STALL, putting 2.5 hours worth of coins in!

I usually park well away from others. However, this does not help when your mom backs into it in your own driveway.

At work and in any shopping center, I always park my Vibe alone, far far from any other cars, for two reasons:1- To avoid dents (so far, I have none).2- To force me to walk and burn calories.
