Does Anyone Else Do This?

[Bixter44]

In order to get in my C5, I need the door close to wide open. I am 6'6", 65 years old and arthritis hangs out with me a lot. In spite of all that, I get in and out pretty good with the door out of the way. So everywhere I park, bar, restaurant, hotel, I have to park where no one can park and crowd the driver's door. Am I the only one who does this?

Heck no. I find the biggest spot so I can open door wide. It's easy getting in struggle getting out sometimes.

For a lot of reasons including yours I look for those spots as well.

No one ever said getting old was fun.

I have a legitimate handicap sticker but seldom use it in the Corvette, it seems to attract its share of crazies including parking ticket professionals.

I do not have a problem getting in or out of my C5...
Maybe having a convert is easier!

But I never park where someone can get too close to me.

My C3 has been lowered enuff that I seldom use the door!
Step over onto the seat and drop into place!

My boots would never touch my shale coloured seats even if I had a convertible.

I park at the back part of any lot I find myself in. I'll drop anyone off at the doors of a mall or whatever but I'm parking in the sticks. That's non negotiable.

But for the most part,if I know I'm going to be parking for any length of time,I'll take the Lexus. The Vette doesn't really see parking lots to be honest,or drive thrus either.

I also try to find the spots where opening my doors is not a problem....

I never park, just go for a ride and come back home.

Hey Eric, do those signs in the window say "Reserved Parking for Directionally Handicapped People"?

There are benefits to being the boss.

 

[Rruuff Day]

Lol... right you are Murray.... I did gain notoriety a few years back with my C6 in this exact position. A customer in the hair salon supplies place down at the end of my building snapped a photo and posted it on Facebook under Red Deer's worst parkers... A buddy of mine sent me a screenshot of the facebook page... I laughed my butt off.....

 

[MikeysZ06]

Sure glad there's YouTube,lmao !!

I'd never know how to get into a C5 if I ever get to go for a ride in one. I guess you do need the doors wide open.

Tomorrow's vid will be how to tie your shoes without lifting the tilt wheel !!
