...why does someone always choose the space right behind the Jimmer so you can't open the boot?!

Bonus points if you parked right at the front of your space, leaving room for the door to swing open, and they still parked right up to your rear bumper.

This is why I drive into spaces and reverse out. Though at shows in fields they always seem to marshal you in far too close.

Not everybodys taste but I got this overlanding accessoire on the back of my Jimny,, A backpack for the spare wheel for litter and empty beer cans. Don't know why but seems to keep people a bit more off.
That and having a very dirty car helps.

Pretty sure other things would help too.
Like a fishing rod on the roof or the best is a trailer

Much worse with my T5 that is wider and longer than many car parking spaces but then it is expected to get cramped in..

My drive is 7 x 3 metres and was meant for one car, but Jimnys are so short that you can get two on when you need to. Just park them nose to nose so the back door opens. And probably not as close as this (it was dark and raining!).
