Anyone else parking their new LC like this, or is it just me? 😂

Been parking like this since forever. Even with my rusted out 96 Civic with exhaust leak. Get some extra steps in too.

I had my Audi SQ5 for three days, went to Costco and parked it out in BFE all by itself. Came back and the only thing next to it was a shopping cart that put a huge ding in the rear quarter panel. It cost over a grand to have it fixed. Someone intentionally rammed the cart in the car knowing I was trying to keep it safe.

This link is for a clip from Pulp Fiction that completely describes the way I feel about people who vandalize vehicles. Please note that the clip contains a great deal of profanity and takes place during a drug deal.

My sentiments exactly! That was good for a laugh.

I parked like that all the time. All the time and there is always an idiot that comes way out and parks right next to you.
By the way, I also avoid shopping at Dollar General, Walmart or target where there are a lot of low information. Idiots carelessly dinging your door.

I too always park wayyyy out. Drives my wife crazy when we go out for dinner. But I just drop her off at the front door and then park in "the south 40"

I park mine farther away from other vehicles

Yes. Also to avoid screeching brake noise when backing up! Wakes my neighbors in morning.

Ha ha! Doesn’t everyone do that with a new vehicle for the first couple of weeks?

I did it with my 25 year old 4Runner.

Yes!! Always! It was fun the day that I came out to find this......Land Cruisers just find one another!

Yep but try to park next to a curb if possible

I'm always looking for spots next to islands or at the end so I can put it off to one side of the space and avoid door dings.

I did it with my 25 year old 4Runner.

Well 5 months old with 8200 miles…still screeching….dealership said they were aware of the issue and recommended wait for a recall

Yes …. Guilty

I tend to get the eye roll from my girl (and the stink eye if she is driving) because of my many faceted parking algorithm when picking a spot: whether there is a sidewalk/planter in the right; or a neighbor, and whether they went in front first or reversed in; which side of the slot to skew towards; Or is there a sideways slope, etc. Etc.... Reminds me a bit of that old joke about which urinal must be picked when walking into a men's restroom with a line of urinals and with various permutations of occupation... I do laugh at myself but it must be working because my cars have very few dings while hers are always a pockmarked disaster resembling a war zone.

so sounds like it takes u 15 min to park also.. I drive looking for the perfect spot (sometimes takes longer to pick a spot than the shop I did ) I’ve parked- looked - and decided on a different spot .. its OCD at its best, been doing it since July so I dnt see it changing- what’s crazy is I was “cautious” when I got a new 2019 LC, but nothing like this ..

Problem with that, you walk out and there is someone ALWAYS parked right next to you

That is so true, I parked so CLOSED to the median in that situation once… quite a bit of room between me and yellow line, and I came out to find a car parked next to me parked slightly over /on yellow line …
