How about diagonally? I saw sometime one driver with Grand Prix who just parked the car diagonally and occupying two spaces, far away from where the crowd are. I think he can manage to get out if there are cars parked beside him.

BTW, I hate people who just carelessly hit your car either from behind or to your doors, but I also do not like people who occupies two spaces...

^^ Me neither but theres really no other way to keep your car safe other than leave it home. If its a car you don't care about guess it don't matter

its ok here in oz, u dont really find your car banged up when you come back to it most of the time.. but thats what insurace is for anyway

ichi, here its like that.. if the car is originaly designed for a LHD market, then all we get is the steering wheel on the right side. all the stalk controlls stay exactly how ther were (so backwards to other AUSDM cars

)

If you have good insurance it shouldn't. It would be classified as a hit and run more than likely and you'd prob have to pay your deductible but it shouldn't raise it monthly.

oh guys i forgot to mention that my dads camry hybrid got broken into like 15 times in this past year. He had to replace his windows from his own money and he never reported it to insurance.

Some guy in our neighborhood caught him on vid( his truck had vid and my dad parked in front of him)

He sent the vid to an detective and the police already know the guy who breaks in to peoples. They arent doing nothing or maybe they are... so far no more break in's for like a month.

So with this car im going to get a looooooooooot of attraction because compare this to a camry, it looks way better than it too. I even talk to my neighbors and they said the same thing will happen to me as well.

Sorry for this because i did not mention it. I thought some of u may know of these kinds of happenings because of the city.

Oh and the guy who breaks into peoples car is the dumbest son of a bitch ever. He broke into my dads car 4 times in 2 weeks. Srsly dude wtf r u gona find after 3 more break ins?

oh and he only goes for the good cars.
