Heh heh... I would buy that guy dinner and drinks.

BTW, 50' was being nice... 250' is more like it, but I guess if he heaved the keys into the woods, the distance is moot.

As for this pic...lots of open spots and its a big ass truck. Would you prefer he jams it into a tight spot next to something cool...like a Triumph Speed Triple...

uh...I fit this into one space, and this was Christmas time at a busy outlet mall in Milpitas, CA, not to mention it's not hanging way out compared to the Dodge next to me.

Why do some people get upset if someone takes several places in a otherwise pretty empty parking lot?

I don't get upset. I just think they're a bag o'douche. It doesn't protect your car one bit, and most people who do it don't have nice cars and look really silly for thinking they do.

Speaking of douche:

And here we have a Dutch-plated car really parking like a foreigner. This was a few hours ago in Plzen, CZ. He must have had too much to drink on the brewery tour.
