Just curious if any of you have to go to work everyday and be in love with someone elses car in your parking lot? This is what I have to look at everyday in addittion to a few C4S's and an occasional Lambo. That Quattroporte kills me. Took pic with Treo. Thus the poor quality.

I love Maserati's. I used to have a 222 in 1995. Expensive maintainance, but great fun. I would love to get my hands on a 4200GT though....

When I drive my E60 to work I usually park it inside the parking structure. For about 3 straight days I parked next to a white M5, on purpose of course 
. The driver parks it far and isolated, away from the crowd so the M5's parking space on both sides are always empty. I put in my 8 hours and go home and the M5 is always there, so my guess is he (or she) comes in early and leaves late. I think maybe one time the driver found out about my parking next to him (or her) and freaked out. So they decided to park somewhere else (on the 5th floor where it is absolutely deserted). 
Wouldn't it be fun to keep following the M5? Talk about paranoid. They should know that the little E60 brother wouldn't mess with the BIG brother. That person better just get an old beat up car to drive to work! But I understand where they're coming from.

My Ride: 545i - ordered in January delivered April 21st! Black Sapphire Metallic, Black Dakota Leather, Anthracite Maple.
I park as close as possible to cement posts on the right side so I leave about 4 feet on the left side so it is not possible to get door dings. Nice cars - not in my parking ramp.

Agreed. Empty spaces and planters are the nicest things I park next to.

Nope I dont park next to anything nice... BUT I usually park on the second space at the END of the parking lot and the cars that do park in the last spot are always on the line towards the other side making the 2nd to the last spot really big. So its a safe spot.

Even if I ain't much for Maseratis (Fiats) I must say that is a great pic.
The cab and the E60 are nice...
Cars in Finland are really expensive but companies like Nokia (and ours)
have braught us good wealth.
It's not that unsual that I park my car between a S-class MB and a Ferrari,
having a XC Volvo close by.
Luckily this happens not everyday.
