Is it just because my car is black or do drivers not see the G?

THANK YOU! some idiot did that to me too once... at a Jamba Juice... hot summer night last summer, I was standing next to my G and some idiot parked next to me and then started hitting on me! I just gave him the dirtiest look, and told him to park somewhere else!

I don't know. LOL I got into my baby and took off... I looked back and saw him just standing there... like an idiot. Like you said, he could've parked one spot over... nobody was around us and he picked to park next to my car. LOL

One a week?!?! I had 10 on my beat yesterday alone! And I investigated 138 in 2006. Multiply that by the number officers in my office. I call that job security. BTW, we have this wonderful form called a DMV DS427. It is a DMV driver's license re-evaluation form. For those people that come to a complete stop in the fast lane of the freeway when we are trying to pull them over because they just passed a patrol car while I was doing 70 MPH. Among many other fumb duck moves. It means the DMV sends them a nice little letter that says they have to come to the DMV and retake every portion of their driver's license exam.

Lack of driving skills, inconsiderate people, and now add cell phone usage to the list.

Nothing makes me more mad than to see a driver do stupid things and then notice that they're on the phone. I wish I could grab the phone and...

It's definitely Bay Area driving but I think it's worse out in the valley. They pass on the two lane hwy's and end up within inches of oncoming traffic and you.

I don't think it's that people think it's safer, i think it's that people are "stupid" and not very observant.

Whatever you do, don't park in a crowded lot and take up two spots. You're asking to get your car keyed.
