What's the closest that anyone has ever parked next to your BRZ/FRS! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I came outside to find this and was in shock...

After close inspection they did not touch me, lol... WTF! I am certain of no contact because there was no displacement of the California dust on my car.

What would you do? I wanted to kill someone but I had places to be and couldn't wait them out.

This was the closest, about 4" past yours.

AVodka14 · 05-27-2014, 04:03 PM

Never had anyone that close that I have known of. You got lucky if they did not hit you. Or you have been next to one of the best parkers to exist. Glad your baby is fine.

Times like this is when you write a very very long and reprimanding letter and stick it on their windshield.

I don't have a picture, but a fat broken down Dodge SUV parked right next to me and gave me a door ding. It sickens me how some people have no respect for other people's property. I was at disneyland a year ago and when everyone was parking their cars this douchebag opens the door so wide that it hits my passenger side wheel fender where the side markers were. I was in the car about to get out when this happened. Needless to say I lectured him but he just did not give two shits.

DAMN! I am sorry, I guess that I got off lucky.

Not THAT close, damn that's impressive.

I usually park with my mirror within 1/4" of my garage side and often get my front bumper within an inch in parking spots but never that close to another vehicle.

That's pretty impressive that they were able to get that close without even nudging your car. I wish the two people who hit me would have been that skilled! lol

I walked out to this after work one day. The car wasn't even a month old!

And then a few months ago my sister's boyfriend backed into it and left a nice license plate holder imprint and those two nice holes from the screws holding in the license plate. I'm hoping no one ever gets any closer to mine then they got to yours lol!

If that person doesn't have a backup cam that is some SERIOUS parking skills to get that close. Blue Angels have nothing on that type of proximity.

Looks like a newer Impreza/WRX. They just wanted to show you some love.

That person deserves an award... You couldn't fit a sheet of a sticky note in there.

That is why I try either to park away from everybody else or somewhere, where I can keep an eye on my car at all times. Because these days it just seems like nobody has any respect for any body else but themselves.
