A Parking Lot Riddle

You can’t see the number under the car. Can you figure out what it is? Someone told me the answer before I could work on it. But a bigger question is: Since the lot is practically empty, why didn’t this driver choose the space nearest wherever he is going? -via Bits and Pieces

I have seen numbered spaces like that in apartment complexes. If the number under the car matches the apartment number of the car's owner, then it makes perfect sense that he or she may not have parked closest to where he or she was going, but rather in his or her assigned space.

Maybe the driver DID choose the nearest spot. Imagine that, past the bottom of the diagram, is a strip-mall (or mini-mall). A store about 1/3 of the way along the strip (say the 3rd store out of 8 stores total, going from left to right as you look at the front of the stores) would be most easily reached in either parking spot 87 or 88.
