My wife has her own expensive vehicles. Sometimes I think she's worse than I am making sure to find an end spot.

First post! Picked up this beauty last night and I’m picking up the parking requirements quickly

Glad my 5 year BMW hiatus is over

VIP Parking.

I think you mean DICK parking?

Tag · 02-14-2024, 12:13 PM

Taking up two spots, parking in no parking zones; guaranteed way to get keyed.

There were M340i xdrv, z4, m4, m2, X5M, and iX for the new owner session. Not sure what session after, but they were all in the M2's.

It was taken on 2/11. We were in the morning session for the new owners. The session after, they were all in the M2's. I still got another new owners session on 2/23, and M school to be scheduled.

When I did my ED in 2007, I drove to Venice. Read on forum where to find spots in ferry lot near columns…I was worried leaving my 3 day old car for the 3 days. Came back and it was fine..just dirty.

2022 drove to Florida shortly after picking up my Thundernight beauty. Parked at far edge of hotel lot near lawn patch with tree. Friggen sprinklers went off overnight and left water marks all over 😫

Fun, that's really similar to the M Driver's Package that I did in November.

The session with all M2's maybe some kind of track day event. The new owners session got to drive M340i xdrv, z4, m4, m2, x5m, ix5 on very short tracks.

Besides that it's such douchè move , gives us all a bad name ...

Only Supercars should get a pass, taking up more than 1 spot. But that's just one man's humble opinion

I'm all for being vigilant when parking your baby , but folks need to relax it's just a M2/3/4/5 whatever

Seriously it's amazing. I'll intentionally park in the furthest partition/ lot segment from the building im going into, away from the rest of the populous, will come out and there is 1 car parked immediately adjacent.

Of course then you watch a parking job like this right in front of you leaving you questioning humanity 🙄 I assumed they were going to back up and straighten out. Nope!

Found a great spot, didn’t consider Seagulls, came back to find roof comprehensively redecorated

Oh man. I know this feeling. Be happy they just pooped on it. I live by the shore and over here the Seagulls pick up crabs and shells and drop them from up high on the pavement and cars to crack them open.

For some reason, I always get dumped on more by birds when I have a black car - guess what color my M2 is ?

Flying crabs is wild! lol

I think these ones did drag something along my roof as there is a fine scratch on it now, will polish out but mega pissed after I thought I had the safest spot possible haha

weird they only pooped on the carbon roof, the rest of the car has ppf and was untouched, second guessing not putting ppf on roof now !

Black cars are a magnet for it lol

Angmar · 03-13-2024, 07:32 AM

My fiance wants to kill me sometimes cause I always park as far as possible away lol.

The theory holds - black cars and dark carbon roofs seem to be the preferred seagull toilet. Agrrrr!

I hope they didn’t eat a crab or oyster on your roof. These things have poor table manners ☺️
