Not what the post is about, but finding my MX5 on a parking lot is getting increasingly difficult, yes.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 9 points 5 days ago

First gen xB, here. I feel ya. Everything else in the parking lot is fucking huge.

My mom drove my BRZ to the store once since it was the last car in the driveway. She walked out into the parking lot after with my sister and was like “oh fuck, I just lost his new car”.

It was behind a small sedan, like a Corolla or something haha

I drive a MR2 Spyder. I specifically don't pull in all the way now so that I can see the ass end.

I drive a Mini Moke. The only thing that sticks up is the clear windscreen with its little silver frame, and even that isn't higher than the bonnet of most American Pickup Trucks. Its definitely hard to find

That's absolutely sick though.

dude I lose my Subaru Outback sometimes

newer ones will park next to me and they dwarf it in size, everything is taller and wider and longer

edit: not the topic, but there was one time I lost it in a small parking lot because a truck had parked next to me, and another Outback in the same colour, year, window tint, and general condition had parked on the other side of that truck — so mine was hidden by the truck. I went to the back and was trying to open it for like twenty seconds before I heard mine unlock ten feet away (the fob receiver sucks and it doesn't work half the time, which didn't help the situation). that is the only time in eight years that I have confused another car for mine. one of the actually great perks about driving an older car, nobody else has one just like it.

I walked into a Chipotle and parked close to the window. While ordering, a lifted GMC Sierra parked by my car and absolutely dwarfed it. The hood line I swear was above my roof.

Wanna know what my car is? A 2008 Toyota sienna.

your Sienna isn't much bigger than my car (also an 08) despite having twice the cargo volume. vans rule. my buddy's similar year Sienna treated our group well as a hauler to many events, rain snow or shine, with multiple people and gear.

I love driving next to vehicles where my head doesn't go above their wheel well. fuck, some stock trucks have that height these pasts few years. and it's not like I drive a Miata... for fuck's sake even a BRZ is smaller than my car. and a (old) Miata is like half the size of a BRZ
