Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

Got to park next to another Cadillac during my lunch run to Costco. CT5, not sure if it was a V. I see lots of lyriqs, optiqs and XT5s in my area but rarely the cars.

The one thing we were constantly warned about at Spring Mountain was a section of the track with a rise and then a turn just after. The instructors said someone totaled a Cadillac on that turn because the car wasn't settled before he started turning the wheels for the turn. The Corvettes were more forgiving due to their lower weight and center of gravity but the Blackwings are super precarious when unweighted. We were advised to lift throttle and keep the wheel straight until the car fully settled. Something to consider as you hit canyon and mountain roads with tons of elevation changes.

It's the only time I haven't had full confidence in the car other than on the wet skid pad with the computer turned off :)
 
They call this getting "ICED" in the EV world. Hopefully it was just for the funny pic?
Never heard that but do find funny. I may be the asshole but to me that’s just another parking spot that also has perks for certain drivers.

Well I'm usually a rule-follower, so funny pic is a good bet. What's actually comical is I have stayed at that hotel many times and only saw one EV use it once.
 
Time for a bump! I had to make a run down to Santa Cruz to bring a keyboard and guitar to my kid in the UCSC dorm. I had to hurry down the less scenic way (17) but came back up 1, Pescadero Rd, La Honda, and Skyline. And I just had to stop for the air and photo op in a couple of irregular parking spaces.

Wow...I don't often say this, but I think that second photo wins the thread.
 
My kids high school allows the seniors to paint their assigned parking spots. The school year is over and I was at the school for what was the last event of the year so I parked in my kids spot one last time.

All these pics are cute (without other cars around).
I drive mine to Costco and park between 2 gigantic SUVs, I will take a pic next time I park between two Escalades!
