hmm good observation liz, i didnt notice that at first.
when i used to work at acme there was this woman that would come in and double park her (99-04 style) mustang, i just wanted to get a s***** car and try and cram it into one of those spots
and i agree with what melissa said, theres no need to park in more then one spot, if your so worried about it park away from everyone else. thats what i always did at my apartment, i parked on the side of the lot where there was only 2 other cars there
