Yep. Someone will key his car, knowing he's an ass hole and wanting to show him how his selfishness has been perceived.

You could say the same for every single thread on this BBS for Porsche enthusiasts.

His car has dents and dings all over it and I think even hail damage. It's not in great shape and it really escapes me why he thinks he needs or deserves two parking spaces. I park my 993 there all the time and have never once thought of taking two spaces anywhere.

I dunno what it is with this place-

I noticed if you have a expensive car it's OK to double park, or take up Handicapped up front at the restaurant.

Must be an AZ thing. See it all the time here....

Never, ever leave a note. It just gives him and idea of who stuck the exacto knive into the side wall of his tire. Just be happy that he has a flat and move on.

Funny to leave the gym and see one or the other douche prying the sticker from his windshield in tiny pieces (driver's side of course).... I reckon, it took him about 45 minutes before he could leave...
The word spread and the problem was gone in no time...

If he's a regular at the gym, have the gym manager deal with it.

There are two churches in downtown Montgomery AL that are side by side. The Catholic church had adequate parking for their members but no excess. The Baptists scheduled the services early and kept parking in the Catholics lot and filled it up. Polite requests were ignored. The Catholics just put big bright hard to remove bumper stickers on any car in their lot that said "Proud to be a Catholic"

The problem went away.

But his car is neither expensive nor nice.

When I park my 911 at a shopping center I'll park it out far away from the other cars, but I'll keep it in one space. One day I came back out to the car and sure enough there was another car parked right beside it, very close to the driver's side door, making it very hard for me to get in. There wasn't another car within 15 spaces I'll bet and it really ticked me off. Not that it has much to do with your situation. Just venting.....

I was going to suggest a Potatoe up the Tail Pipe...

Grand PA had a 1940 Lincoln Zepher, parked it in the parking lot of a Bier Garten..came out of the Garten and couldn't start the car..he got pissed and knowing GrandPa you wouldn't want him pisseed at you. Grand Ma told me that they went to a Bier Garten one evening and some Schmuck asked her to dance, she refused and wouldn't take no for an answer. So Grand Pa got in a fight with him and five of his friends. Grand Pa knocked them all out. Police came hauled them all before the court, they let Gtand Pa go but fined each of the others $50. Anyway he found out there was a potatoe up the tail pipe.

I still can't get over the fact that it is an older Mitsu Eclipse. I can appreciate anyone who has pride in his car, and doesn't want to get it scratched or dinged, but seriously dude -- AIM HIGHER! If he really believes that his DSM is worthy of such 'protection' then I suspect this individual has a high sense of his own self worth. That will get him far in life -- possibly in a few years and lots of hard work, he can get that promotion to the level of a manager at the local McDonalds he's been vying for!

It's not like it's a well-sorted 944 or a Mustang...
