So, You Bought the Biggest PU Truck they Make

[Stimw]

Made sure it was diesel, got the bigger than legal (in some areas) tires and wheels, jazzed it up with every accessory possible to make it even bigger! Money is no object.
So tell me DUDE, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PARK IT IN THE NORMAL SIZE PARKING SPACES????
There is plenty of room out in the middle of the lot.

when i take my f450 dually out. .. or my 350 dually. i ALWAYS hunt for easy parking.. away from people.

I don't mind an extra minute of walking to ensure i can pull thru or back straight out without having to do a 7pt turn in order to wedge out of a spot.

when i see a big vehicle is a small space. it is usually close to a door. and .. unless there is a HC sticker on it.. then the driver is just plain lazy IMHO...

Funny, I totally agree. I have a Diesel 2500 SRW with oversized tires and such and park it as far away as possible. I really like to have one empty spot on each side at the very least. My wife often says from where I park she is not sure which direction to walk because she can not even see the store.....

Yep ! I drive a tiny Ford Ranger . It seems to be a Big Truck Magnet . No matter where I park, I become surrounded by the giant monster trucks . Its almost as if the owners are havin ' a little joke at my expense .

my wife's comment is 'are we far enough away!'

i prefer pull thru or straigh unobstructed back outs... and i like keeping people away from those 750$ each, fenderwells...

Not our fault that they design parking spaces for Nagasaki nut bucket econoboxes, is it?

Yep, the same reason you will see a car circle the lot 3 times, pass 100 empty spots and then sit and idle until a close spot comes up. Many people are lazy and care only about themselves. I personally park any of my cars a good distance away, there is less chances of dings and it is easier to pull out.
