One thing about the 350Z bit. When you have a two-door sports car, the doors tend to be noticeably longer than any four-door, and that does make it harder to get out when someone parks too close. Having had a 370Z in the past (which is basically the same frame as the 350Z), this is definitely the case there. I have an NC Miata now, and even on that the doors are longer than you might think.
By the looks of it, 350Z guy could have parked closer to the front of the lot if he wanted. He didn’t, on purpose, and still got jammed in for no reason.
I suppose, but… coming from the world of GC Impreza coupes (where the doors are very long - similar in length to F-body Camaros and whatnot) and even NC Miatas, I think this driver just has main character syndrome. The empty spaces nearby may have not been empty when the other car arrived, and people just frankly don’t think about things as much as we may think they do.
Back when I was a smoker I would park in the back of the lot and smoke my cigarette (disgusting, I know). But what always got me is I’d purposely hold the cigarette up high if another car came into the lot to make it clear I was smoking, but even if it was empty people would still park right next to me, get out and glare at me. What a bunch of stupid fucks.
I chipped the paint on the edge of my door and now if my door touches another car it stabs through their paint. I put on bumpers to stop this. But sometimes they still don’t work. My Mustang is tough to get in and out of.
