I try to park further away from others, next to a curb if possible.

Sorry this happened. Where did this occur?

At work, the parking spots in the parking structure are ridiculously narrow. I usually stick the passenger side of the car as close to a concrete column as possible so that it leave lots of room for the occasional idiots.

I've been at this lot for a little over a year now... I haven't gotten dinged by anyone yet, even with the bigger Camry Hybrid (I know, I know... ) that is now my wife's. She did scrape a pole at the Tennessee Aquarium with that though. :-D

Say... Any of you work near the Sandy Springs/Perimeter area?

^work off roswell rd myself halfway between buckhead and sandy springs. my first encounter with someone in one of the twins (frs i think) leaving work a month or so back - came out of nowhere, blasted past me and then turned left into an apartment complex going south on roswell. (anyone else here want to own up?)

that sucks to hear about the keying! haven't had that happen, but i do have a mark on the lowest edge on the front/pass side where someone rubbed some paint off in a parking garage... three months in, that didn't take long.

It happened at Arby's off of sugarloaf pkwy. I parked far away where no cars were parked... But a guy keyed from the top of the good to the bottom and then down to the side panels. So a big "U"

So id it better to park far out or close? As far as keying go

Dam sorry to hear that. It's because of things like that which make me drive my beater when I need to go to the malls/restaurants, or most public places.

@Ahernandez0909, you should register in C-Stock, already two other BRZ's in there! I'm going to keep trying to talk you into it if you resist!

damn eeeeet, why can't I see these sooner.

Granted I wasn't aware that anyone could go to the points sessions.....there's a lot I don't know about all of that but I really want to get into it...that and pdx / hpde.

Then again, I wasn't expecting to have time for any of that this month anyway but a side job I was working on fell through last night.

There's another one this Sunday: https://www.motorsportreg.com/index....8#.UW7d4qI4ueE

After doing my first Auto-X in a while last Sunday I realized why its been so long since I last did one. Road Courses are actually worth the time and money! Four 60 second runs in a day...yawn...

I was pretty disappointed with SCCA and the delays and disorganization, even before it began to rain. I was supposed to run in the second morning session and didnt get out until after 1PM. Also the way they run cars makes no sense to me. I'm used to doing back to back runs, at least in a short line for my group. Helps keep the course fresh in your head. We had to park and wait 15-20 minutes between runs and they had the entire session's worth of cars looping, regardless of run group. Sliding around in the rain was fun, but it just wasn't worth it to me to want to pay do it again.
