SarahsGMC Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 My keys and fob are all on a ring and I only have my fob ignition house my work locker key and my toolbox key on that ring I could never ever ever leave my keys in my truck
MikeNH Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Wolfman that was a big fear of mine, but since I never pull the key out of the truck I did not think twice about it. And before someone goes postal on me I put the key in the door pocket and use the key fob to lock and or unlock it if I don't use the phone to do it. Seems far too trusting of the electronics. Just wait for the day the battery flatlines. Plus if someone did somehow know you do that and they smashed a window to get in and take the truck, most insurance companies won't cover it if the key is in the vehicle.
doverarjim Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 But I only told a few close friends what I do?????
STINSAN3 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 At Wally World, I usually park on the side of the building, where there isn't too much carts.
Wolfmanjohn Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Butte County transit has a stop right in front of Wally World, so if I ever go there, I take the bus just so I can savor the complete experience.
doverarjim Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 Well this is what happened Friday afternoon, I spent more time walking to the store and back to my truck than I did inside. From door lock to unlock was less than 5 minutes!!!! And this is what I came out to see????? WHY??? It was not very busy you could have parked on the other side of the island if you wanted to be safe.
Chris Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 That was a long shopping trip Jim. Did you get lost in there?
MikeNH Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 There are a few lots here in town that have spots shorter than my truck so its always the same- let the back hang into another spot or put the nose out into the traffic lane.
RedXray Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Meeting my son once a week for lunch at the mall, I usually get the first cripple spot if I'm early. The loading (striped) zone is plenty wide and I've had cars ignoring the lines and parking in that (no parking) zone... too close. I got where I park crooked just to keep the other no parking cripples out. Honestly... I'de rather have a ass whoppin than a door ding!
gm4yrs Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Best parking spots locations, 1) Next to a landscaping island. 2) Raised elevation of parking lot. 3) In view of stores security camera. 4) Next to disabled parking, with wide space zone. 5) Next to compact parking, driver's side on the line.
gnet158 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I park towards the empty part of the parking lot and never next to any carts.
GMCDriver1 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 When you have a long bed like I do, you automatically take up 2 spots, if you want to or not
