You know I actually thought about getting some when I had my 2010 535i, but I figured it would draw more unwanted attention to my car.

I used to be mega OCD when it comes to parking.. I like to search for the perfect spot and usually away from everyone else but in a place where the car can be seen in case someone is trying to break into it or trying to vandalize it. I am one of those guys who park the car and keep looking back at my car to see if it was a good place to park or if I should move it somewhere else. I think I mellowed out some but I still exhibit some of these behavior from time to time

IMO, Alan should have thrown some velvet ropes or cones around his car to ensure claimed territory. That's what real ballerz do.

Excellent post. We are the best of the best and we need to behave that way.

I need to get myself a set of cones. My next trip to Bestbuy, I will be parking horizontally across 3 spaces and setting cones around corners of my machine.

Alan style for me hence forth.

Feels good.....

No joke, this guy is the real deal, I ran into him couple of weeks ago in a huge parking lot in a outlet mall in New York and he was in the last spot away from the action..

If this thing turns out to be a law suit you can subpoena me to a witness.
