Here is my best face out and potential parking spot. The only thing that I need to do is to wait for jackrabbit to hit the sensor then I will start going in order to turn left at the traffic light (next to bus). Or just go ahead if I turn right.

It is located in front of WalMart on my normal breakfast run in the cool, misty and overcast morning. This picture was taken few minutes ago.

Looks like a great spot.

I don't have a picture of it but sometimes I've stopped at Lowes in Augusta, ME and my Prius sits lonely in a spot close to the exit. Saves gas and gets me some exercise. ;)

At work my regular spot has just enough potential that I can roll down to the stop sign at the exit of the lot. I get to work early enough that I can glide (and can NICE-ON in the Civic) and pull through into a face-out spot.

My favorite spots at home and at work both face uphill. I can roll backward out of both, then start the car and go. I can almost always glide engine-off into either one of them.

Sorry, no pics. They don't look that spectacular anyway; the hills they are on aren't very steep.

Security gave me a parking ticket at work for parking face out in a face to face space. I solved that issue by parking in a single depth space that faces the access road.:D

No fees or fines were involved. It was basically a warning. I stated my purpose with the group supervisor. He said if I started that, dually trucks would be parking that way too. Of course that is the same answer that he gave me when I asked about plugging in a block heater.

And how is that a problem?

It wouldn't. They take up 2 spaces usually anyway.
