Default Anyone else do this?

Hey guys. Alright so I'm sitting in my truck in a parking lot waiting for a few people and this other Dakota pulls up and parks about 20 feet away. About 5 minutes later, a second Dak pulled right up next to that one (both 2nd gens). About 5 seconds after that I started mine up and moved it all of 20 feet to be next to the other Dakotas. I have also parked further away from things just in order to park by other Daks. For another example, one day I was going to get a slice of pizza and there was a spot right by the door but then further out was a 1st gen and a 2nd gen parked side by side so I pulled on the other side of the 1st gen and walked. Have you guys ever done anything like this or do I just like Dakotas too much?

Lol, i would imagine she would. But she probably doesn't understand the attachment haha. And that is pretty cool, come to think of it i think Dakota's the only truck name that would work for a real name. i haven't met anyone named ram, F150 or superduty or even silverado yet lol. But yeah it's weird cuz i dont even really think about it, if I see another Dak i park by it.

I have had people keep up with me and I love it when the arrow turns cause a lot of the people think that side is going so they get ready and thats when I know its going down at that point ill mess with them and I look for stuff in my glove box and look in my rear view at myself just to throw them off but as soon as that light turns green im off lol Oh and to the orignal question yes I always do park beside daks if not I try to keep it dodge lol

Ramguy- Thats hilarious. I am going to try it next time if you dont mind... especially now with my V8 throttle body in lol. It actually made a pretty noticeable difference, maybe i'll make a thread on it. yeah keep it dodge I'll park by rams or even durangos too, I don't really care about if I park by Dodge cars unless its like a challenger or viper lol.

Jondakota- Thats pretty funny too, i like watching people drive around the parking lot like 50 times to look for a spot by the door and then if 1 opens up they jump on it like hawks.

talk about running em, i finally raced my cousin, he has a little civic all built up. i told him the only way i would race him is under my rules(to make the hp to weight ratio fair). we line up at a red light , him at the line and me behind him. when the light turns green we go, if i tap his rear bumper twice in the 1/4 mile i win, if he pulls away he wins. knowing his is a 5 spd, he would spin them off the line, he did! hit #1 for me, hit #2 came on his 2-3 gear shift. hahaha i would say i ate me some rice for lunch. he wants to do a rematch in a standard 1/4 mile race. i know ill lose my *** if we do, once his civic winds up he is gone. it was fun as hell damaging his bumper.
