Call a tow truck
I use the end curb technique whenever possible, no matter what I'm driving, but it's critical in the GT or GT40. But I do agree that there are some places you just don't want to take certain cars - that's what your fuel guzzling SUV is for.
There's another way to handle the situation when you get boxed in, as suddenly occurred to me when my wife and I got blocked in by a bright red H3 with more chrome than a pimpmobile. There's not a Victoria's Secret supermodel skinny enough to have gotten in the driver's side door of our Range Rover Sport. My wife said she'd just get in the passenger's side, climb over the console and back it out. I was instantly pissed when I saw how close the Hummer was, and said, "You're NOT crawling over the console; I've got a better idea." I walked into the Hallmark store we were parked in front of and rather loudly asked, "Does anyone own the red Hummer parked out front?" A woman who was as wide :frown as the Hummer whipped her head around and headed for the door. She looked like the arrogant type, but I think she was scared that her Hummer had been dinged. I ripped on her all the way out the door -- loudly enough so that everyone in the store knew what an inconsiderate jackass she was for blocking me in. I glared at her while she backed out, watching clearances, and deliberately didn't say thank you. I hope she was so embarrassed that for the next day or two she actually paid attention to where she was parking. I haven't had to do this yet, but if it was a larger store I wouldn't hesitate to have the vehicle's driver paged. As a last resort, I'd demand that the store call a tow truck to move the other vehicle. :lol
On parking valets: I'm very leery of valets and I'm no fan of Barrett-Jackson, but I have to compliment their valets this year. They let us park the GT ourselves in the spot we chose, let us keep the keys, and let us retrieve the car ourselves. Of course they got a nice big tip in return. :cheers
eek:eek
