just curious. Getting pissed off at not being able to open my doors after I park.
had to sit in the lot at the grocery store last night and beg people to throw food through the skylight cause I couldnt get out to shop.

same here with our Titan. sucks, the spaces are so small,.. but we're better off parking it way out away from the front of the store. That thing is impossible to back out in some places...I can't even imagine what the bigger trucks are like.

I find that even if the spaces are wide enough, half the people out there don't park in the center of their space. I inevitably come out of the store to find that I have only a few inches on either side of my vehicle to open doors.

On the other hand...thanks for parking and walking as there are some folks who think it is their inherent right to take up to 3 spaces..... and then they wonder how that cup of soda ends up on their hood. (not me, I'm just saying)

I drive a Ram 2500 crew cab heavy duty 4x4 and I can't fit in the spaces up front so I always park farthur out and walk. I usually stick out a bit because of the trailer hitch so I tend to drive through and I can pull out instead of back out. It always take up more than my space. Sometimes a midget car will pull in behind me but most vehicles won't have enough room. Walking is good for you and their is always spaces far away.

I park way at the end of the lot too.
problem is that during my last back surgery I lost nerves to my foot so I cant lift it and after a bit of walking it gets weak and I have a tendency to trip.

I refused the Handicapp tag or mirror thing because I figure there are people that need the space more than I do, but, considering that I am having issues with parking at work, Im thinking towards getting it so I can use the cripple spot here.

by the way, one of the major issues it that there are times when there are no spots to park in except the handicapp, and it leaves the only option as parking in a neighborhood about a half mile away and walking.


I would still only use the tag at work.
