I saw a beat-up late '70s Corvette "Stingray" taking up two spaces at Wal-Mart yesterday. It had also pissed out a pool of coolant from the front radiator. Classy. sadly no camera with me :-(

Now, I did drive down in my 30-year-old, well setup 944. But, I parked in a far corner of the parking lot away from the heavy turnover of spaces. When I got closer to the front door, I saw this d'bag parked nearby the store entrance. Yep, that is an Alpine Renault.

I ain't never seen one of those...Thats bad azz !! Love the curves and chrome

they used those to beat Porsches in rallys

- a nice note praising the car and damning the parking would help him avoid future damage

I think this is true. The people doing this don't have any concept of their level of douchebaggery. They probably just think they need to protect their "investment" because it costs more than their baby-momma's single wide.

IMO, people who park like this cannot afford the car they are driving.

Because a 14 year old Oldsmobile is wickedly valuable. Couldn't risk any stray scratches on that ... Oh, snap!! Is that Champaign Metallic?? That has to be the rarest Oldmobile color evar!


edit: nevermind... I think it is just plane-old 'bronze mist metallic'.

You are very fortunate. He was probably drunk. He could have hit you.

I park in the cheap seats quite often but at least put it between the lines. I figure it's good exercise to walk a little.

I recall a part-time summer job in my youth parking cars. Customer cars were valet-parked, but if they insisted, they had the option of self-parking at their own risk. One such customer managed to angle his car inward such that the front end encroached into the next space by a few feet - unfortunately the one space I backed into with another customer's car. Whoops (sound EFX of folding sheet metal). Fortunately, no damage to the battleship car I was navigating. The parking boss said, "Don't worry about it. He wanted to park it himself and avoid the tip." I was cool and said, "Okay."

The blue car with the +3 minute exit strategy managed to take my mind off of the white wagon parked in two spaces.
