Regarding the scratches, it may have been someone hoping if they messed up the paint, it just might get painted another color. Worth a try.

The guy that owns that hot pink Honda might be a salesman for Mary Kay.

The winner of this thread is Wayne Carini who drove into the Scottsdale auction in a Lusso or Gullwing (I forget) and parked just to the left of the entrance, 45 degree angle in the handicap spot.



On TV.



That guy is such a douchewhizzle anyway.

You ever drive a vehicle that long Rick? Either you take two spaces, or you hang way out of the space. Most parking lots dont really fit big pickups...

And why complain, looks like there was no shortage of spaces...

I don't really care. I just find it kind of silly that he parked closer to the store than I did when there were far more empty spaces farther back. And he easily could have fit into one space.

Emailed this to my office landlord. Small completely full parking lot every single day and I came in after a slightly late morning to this. My office is upstairs from a Dialysis clinic so everyday is a new adventure in peripheral neuropathy parking, driving, walking, etc.

I had a buddy once relocate a car for someone that apparently didn't have enough time to avoid a handicap spot at a coffee shop. Left it running with the keys. Moved it to a bus stop 50' up the road and threw the keys into the woods. Driver was a really snotty self important soccer mom. Habitual offender.

Jeezus, man. Looks like the lot is less than 50% full. Who cares if he parks fooking sideways?

Might be nice if they put some lines in that you could see.

I try to be polite when parking and really don't ever try for a close-to-the-destination spot. And if anyone took exception to me not being absolutely square in a spot way out in the middle, they can expect some serious problem coming from me. If I had the means, I would love to be able to tip a car over on its side.

People who know me know I would.

I keep a can of spray paint-black- in my car.
If one has earned a black mark, they will have their plate covered.

I am working on using cat crap and urine from the good old box and mix it together and store it outside of the car.
If anyone is not too polite, they will know it when they turn on the vent or A.C.
Fun Factor involved.
It almost makes you want them too.!
