I can remember when you could get adhesive labels that said " Thanks for taking 2 parking spots" The adhesive contained methylene chloride & it removed the paint when it was removed.

pfft..........they have the right to drive however they want...........who cares how they park............

This right has been granted to the DB's of the world due to the lack of any realistic enforcement. Simply drive however you want at any speed that you want.

DB's rule!!

I've been know to park exceptionally close to a-holes taking up 2 spots. Driving POSs allows me to do that.

I miss this about my beaters.

Back when I drove compact POS VW's I would often squeeze right in next to these DB's if they did that. Its one thing in a vast open parking lot, heck sometimes I do it now just because I'm lazy and their are about 6 cars in 100 spots.

But in a busy parking lot, come on.

If you were president parking like that would be a hanging offense!

Any resemblance between your inconsiderate, dangerous, and childish behavior and, well, my identical behavior is entirely coincidental. And because great minds think alike

That makes me miss having a beater.

There has been a long-running ad for a cheap and presumably drivable '79 Aspen in the Douglas county paper...

When I was in High School, which was about 55 years ago, someone parked next to the car a friend of mine was driving and he could not open the drivers door.

The simple solution was to get in the passengers door, but he crawled under and shifted the offending car into 'N'. There were no cars then with a steering wheel interlock.

Then we pushed it over to another parking place and he shifted it back into gear.

Ah, the good old days......

Parking so it doesn't bring any attention to your car....

I could care less if someone parks like way out in the unused area of the parking lot...... In fact I could care less if someone does this in the well used part of the parking lot. They are only attracting vengeance onto the car; I pity their poor decision.
