I enjoy parking in the back section of parking lots with all the trucks were people always park a spot away from each other

there is always that one idiot that parks 2 feet away from your door in the back of the parking lot with no one else around LOL

My wife will circle for 10 minutes looking for the pole position, drives me nuts. We could have been in the store and on the way out by the time the perfect spot is found. Agree, park in the back 80 and get some exercise.

I like the ones reserved for those with baby strollers. Always at the front, nice and wide and the X fits in there just right.

i refuse to walk when parking somewhere. so i'll either wait for a good spot or i take my dad with me so i can use the handicap. if your quick about it you can spot a good one quick and get it before anyone else. worst case if i'm just running in real quick i'll park in the loading zone w/the remote start and flashers on.

i hate walking...

Looks like nice weather up there! This morning I woke up to a fresh 2" of snow (I know, not a big deal, but it's supposed to be spring!) and still snowing
