Where to park

A few weeks ago, I spotted a Vibe nearly identical to mine (my wife's actually); it was the same color, year, etc. Anyway, I could not resist the urge to park right next to it. I even cut the wheel at the same angle to confuse the other Vibe owner and possibly spark a conversation. Instead, I got a dirty look as I was walking out to my Vibe while the other Vibe driver was taking off.A day before that, I had a Matrix park next to me.From now on, even if I have to walk an extra mile, I am going to park next to Vibes and/or Matrices...so if you see a slate gray vibe with tinted windows and red/black seat covers with a 3.5" exhaust tip, you know who it is.

My neighbor is about 4'11" tall and parks 6" away from the door of mine. I swear she gets in the passenger side. The mirrors are less than 1/2 " from rubbing...

I try to park next to Vibes, Matrices, or any other hatchback. I actually had someone with a vibe start a conversation with me.

The hubby always parks beside a Vibe if there's space. Once he wanted to take a photo of a Quebec Lava vibe in the Home Depot parking lot so that we had a photo of Sputnik and the Lava vibe in the same shot.

I think you have to be pretty dedicated to park next to some of us, but if you are up for the 15 hour drive feel free to park next to me.I know what you mean about it though, I like parking next to other vibes when I see them. I should print out those "Genvibe Business Cards" I saw on here one time.... I wonder where those went.

I park way out away from everyone, so unless they do the same.... I see a lot of Vibes, but VERY few GT's....in fact, only seen one other one in my area.

I do the same Dope. As long as the other Vibes and Matrices are far enough away from the general parking lot traffic areas I will park by them. If they are too close for me to be satisfied I just don't worry about it.I alllways park by Vibe's at the movie theater because there are generall ylike 600 of them in the lot, so I can usually find one parked way away where I like to park. Unfortunately I never see their reaction cause they are gone before I get out but once or twice I got a note. I actually got one from a member on here once lol.

I have three rules 1. Never park next to a two door2. Never park next to a Mini Van. 3. If they cant find the lines dont park next to them. So far only one ding since June.

LOL!!! When I was a Valet at a Country Club in high school this lady drove up in a silver 4 door Acura. I parked it. A couple hours later a guy drove up in a silver 4 door Acura, same identical car! So I parked it. Hours later she came out and I said I know what car is hers and ran an got a silver Acura. The lady drove away...Hours later she comes back and says I got home, opened the trunk and the package I had back there was not there. Than I looked closer at the interior and it did not match mine; I realized this was not my car! I parked the guys and got hers for her!

(removed)!!!!!!!!!We were dicussing that phenomena in my law enforcement class... alot of cars have the same keys for the ignitions because it would be impossible to make that many unique keys. Although you would think by the radio station it was on, seat adjustment or other features would tip it off.

Yeah that was just the start of my 7 year Valet career! Never did that again though since the other club I worked at used tickets. To this day, would I ever or do I use a Valet. No way!!!!!
