Reminds me of the time at East Ft. Baker where some one parked their Ferrari diagonally across four spots. So. Someone parked diagonally next to it.

That looks good, until one of the cars leaves and is replaced with an SUV full of kids snuggled up to your F-Type...YIKES! I try to look for end spots where possible, but in real world driving, one can only do so much. I find a quick prayer doesn't hurt:-)

I also agree, the F-Type is extremely wide.

Yes. It has a big bottom. Shapely, but big.

There is nothing in real life which doesn't come back to - relate to - either Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm or both.

The reason I didn't get a Tesla (oh don't start that again ) was that it is huuuge. After the fact I find out it is as wiiiide as a Model S... (although two feet shorter. I'm cool with that.)

Yes, the F-Type is as wide as my full-size heavy-duty half ton pickup truck.

Ripley's Believe It Or Not:
The XF X250 is wider than the F-Type!
By a whopping 11 mm or .4".
With the mirrors unfolded, F-Type = 2042 mm wide, XF = 2053 mm wide.
