Am I crazy?

Any ever notice that these strange things seem to happen to you? I know that they happen to me all the time!

You park your truck about 5 miles from the nearest car in a parking lot, to avoid all possibilities of a kamakazie cart?

When you hear a loud noise out side, the first thing you check is your 20+ year old truck instead of the new car beside it?

Or when you get passed like your tied to a tree by a ricer, you go 5 miles out of your way just so that your truck can make that ricer suck on your exhaust pipe?

Or does your truck glare at you when you when you forget to change the oil or rotate the tires?

Or did you notice how cocky your truck gets when a significant other is riding with you, or a good looking person is in the adjacent lane?

Man I think I'm losing my mind....

Yes, you are crazy. Certifiable, for that matter. Unfortunately, I am apparently as insane as you!

lol.....I usually try and find a new car or truck, something a lot more expensive than my Ranger, and I try and park next to it b/c I figure if Murphy's Law comes into play then the most expensive vehicle in the area is the one that's gonna get dinged....

That and the fact that they probably wont smack their doors into your car becuase they don't want to ding up theirs.

The quistion is what do you do when your truck is the new one....even if it is a base model like mine...ok so you say pak by the guy with the new beamer or benz right?....wrong....guy probably has so much bloody money he don't care what happens to his car and will hit his doors up against your nice new, muddy truck anyways.

i guess you can always park next to a ricer, even if they hit you, they will do more damage to their car

I try to park away from other people, which of course means someone will park right next to me, because their car might get lonely on those wide open spaces.

Usually when I park at a supermarket, or the like, I usually do the "park it 5 miles away from life" thing. Reason: It can't fit in a parking space with a car on both sides
Plus it gives my truck its own "personal space"
