You are the one who winds up taking THAT spot. And wind up sticking out THAT far. __________________ MY EYES!

Then one of my coworkers got a couple bad door dings in his car. Now I always go for an end spot where I can park far enough away from the other car that I know I won't get dinged.

Justin | I do the same, but unfortunately the "dingers" always seem to gravitate toward me no matter how far away I park. It seems like an inverse relationship, the farther you park the more dings you get. I just do not understand people who have no respect to at least hold their door when they get out. | | | 02-11-2010, 09:49 PM | #139 | Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Hartford CT, USA Posts: 33 | Unfortunately lots of people aren't taught the value of respect. They throw open their car doors because their only concern is themselves. __________________ MY EYES!

You could throw a 325i next to an M3 and they couldn't tell the difference. The Ti on the other hand, it isn't like most BMW's and that gets people's attention. I get asked about the Ti all the time especially at gas stations. Lots of compliments; however it is a love/hate relationship. People either hate it or love it. | | | 02-12-2010, 05:10 AM | #142 | Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Weston,FL,US Posts: 73 | i agree with you it is a love hate. but i love it =D but yeah i get compliments as well __________________ | | | 02-12-2010, 07:00 AM | #143 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Maryland Posts: 265 | Quote: Originally Posted by wolfnacht You know you drive a Ti when - you can park your TI in a Walmart Cart corral... and NOT scratch your paint...

Wish I had a rear view camera to take pictures of the surprised looks I get. LOL! __________________ Love ALL Bimmers.
