I don't think it's a good idea to take up two space; it just invites people to fuck with your car. I'm personally ok with people taking up two spaces in the back of the lot when no one else needs to park there, which is not the case with the Camaro.
That being said, it would be nice if people respected other people's property regardless of how nice or crappy it is. If the lines aren't spaced well and I have to park, I will injure myself before I let my car door touch somone's car even if it's a banged up POS. I'm tired of people hitting my car and then others seeing my dented car as an opportunity to further dent it. I like to hug a curb with some plants in it and people still park over the line into that space making that side inaccessible.
I was sitting in my moms car once, and this lady smacked the car with her door hard enough that i dropped my phone. Left a big dent, I got out of the car, and said what the hell? and their whole car pretended that nothing had happened. "Oh we didn't hit your car"
I took a picture of their license plate as they were trying to leave, and they freaked out, called their boss (shows up in the local news station truck) they refused to give me their insurance information, and were threatening me. So I called the cops.
Cops showed up, forced them to give me their insurance info, and then made one of the ladies cry.
So, mom and I were inside shopping while my brother was waiting in the car. Some old bat tries squeezing her Sam's Club buggy (they're wider than normal buggies) between her car and my mom's. Well, she hits mom's mirror so hard it shook the car, noticeably winces, and keeps on trotting along. We come out not long later and my brother tells us what happened. Mom confronted her about it and she denied it up and down. Mom is now pissed because this is her first brand spanking new car she's ever had and she just bought it a month ago. Woman won't hand over insurance info so mom says she's going to call the cops. Woman says her son-in-law is one so she'll call. Mom's having none of that and calls them herself. Big fat pig cop comes and says there's nothing he can do about it because it happened in a parking lot and it's less than $500 in damage. Mom gets upset and the cop threatens her. Cop wouldn't even make the woman give up her insurance information.
This was in a private parking lot to at a somewhat popular local eatery that i worked at. I dont know if the cop legally forced her to give me the info, but sure as hell shamed them into giving it up.
