Spotted a ZL1 today... In the Publix parking lot- Delibrately parked far away, in BFE- Just as I always do. Out of respect for his choice, I parked about 4 spaces away, yet still a hefty walk back to the store- No big deal. Upon returning, I noticed an older fellow dressed in everything you can buy from the Chevy Apparel Store, heading towards the Camaro- I'm talking ZL1 hat, T shirt, even Bowtie tennis shoes. The gentlemen was pushing his shopping cart with 3 small bags in it, which he pushed right up to within a few feet of the camaro, and proceeded to load his purchases in the trunk. Let me be clear, he had very few items- had it been me, I'd have ditched the cart inside the store and carried them, but to each their own. Regardless, I was already in the GP and waiting for the wife to come out, so I watched, with intention of giving at the least a thumbs up for his dedication. Not that I was suprised, but this fuccah proceeds to leave his shopping cart right behind the car, and get into the driver's seat- I took 3 seconds to try to reason with myself, and failed;
Me: "Kinda' defeats the purpose, doesn't it?"
Him: "Beg your pardon?"
Me: Parking a 60K camaro in the Australian Outback to avoid inconsiderate A$$holes like yourself."
He looked like he'd seen a ghost. God, I hate people.

Awesome. I loathe lazy people who refuse to put carts into a cart return. I've even seen people do this when the cart return is less than 10 feet away. I really don't understand how people can be that careless.While not a left behind cart story it is along the same lines. My Dad bought a 2012 Forester this summer. He goes to Walmart a few weeks ago, parks far enough away that no one in their right mind would park next to him, even picks up a few carts in the vicinity that pose a threat to his new automobile on the way to the store. Comes out a bit later, door ding in his Forester. Where is the respect these days?
Another side note, while my car needs a complete repaint I don't appreciate that someone at my campus felt that they could scrape the driver side rear bumper and just go about their day. Thankfully there is no damage to the quarter panel. We have a new parking garage on campus and some of these young kids haul *** in the thing. Where is the logical thought process? Makes me kinda mad.

I'm sure he doesn't care regardless. His car is fine, so why would be care about anyone else?

LOL, there is a guy down the street from me that leaves the ZL1 in his drive way and he has 3 garages in front of him. Kills me to see it! In one bay he does have a sweet Viper GTS, the rest have junk. When he drives by my house the guy never looks over. Another guy on my block has a cherry 62 vette vert another stuck up *****. No to me it's in the blood
Heck I get the HS kid a couple houses down in a 01-04 Ford Stang vert says hi all the time and he's a Ford guy.
The more you see these guys the more you wish

Just shows you, the car dont make the man. Love that you called the guy out. hahaa...
I had an 89 Ranger for a beater for a while and loved using it to "stick-it" to inconsiderate types - like if they park on the white line, I would park my passenger side up against them like inches from their driver side (still within my parking spot though).. haha.. always made me chuckle to imagine them crawling through their passenger side to get in!
I would think, "go ahead and key my beater, it'll only improve its looks!".. haha..
