When I was 19 and drove a '63 Dodge pickup, my preferred spot would have been to mash that shopping cart up against the curb.
I try to park my cars out away from the mass of cars nearer to the shop doors. I did that once and have a picture (somewhere) of my 911 sitting in a lot out in the middle of nowhere all by itself - except for
one car that pulled up and parked right next to it.
