I miss my old suburban. It was big, ugly and brown.4" lift and 33" tires. Just enough dents and bondo to let people know "It just doesn't matter"

I don't mind someone taking up two spaces in the far areas of the parking lot but it pisses me off when they do it close to the business. One more than one occasion I've parked within inches of their vehicle ( always the driver's door ) to make them climb in from the passenger seat.

Really , what could they do? Open the door into my running boards?

I guess it's a good thing I've mellowed in my years

I hate suburbans, they're too damn big. It was funny watching my friend practicly learn to drive in one though. On one of his first rounds with it he scraped the side of some dude's car like 3 houses down from his. And then there's always getting stuck while trying to turn around w/o a driveway.. good times.

I never have a problem with people taking up 2 spaces anymore, there's not enough people out here to take em all up.. I guess that's one good thing about living in the middle of nowhere.

In the striped area at Wal-Mart, most other places it's in a parking space as it's not safe in any other areas... and I'm generally with my husband so it's 2 bikes to 1 space instead of just me. At work we have special mc parking, so I park there - unless it's full then I take my own space.
