But after they have been tagged, they will not care and keep parking in the spot illegally. How many times do they get tagged before you get to sell impound the car?

Sometimes when I've seen that one, I've simply driven around in front of the offending vehicle, backed up, and got my gas from that pump to the left of his/her front bumper.

Even if there were other pumps open.

I'm at the hotel right outside the Sebring gate this week. There is a PCA DE going on so the parking lot is crawling with Porsches. There is also apparently a wedding so the lot is jammed. I have a trailer and need a pull-through situation and this is the only one in the whole lot. I took this picture in case the d-bag hits my truck on the way out.

Interestingly, all the PCA DEs I've been to are about 50% Boxsters. Most of the cars here are 996/997s and I haven't seen a single Boxster.

Today - this particular parking lot was packed (weekend plus around half the available spots were filled with snow piles, reducing capacity significantly). Would've been great to see this guy get plowed in.

I found this song fitting for this post on many levels.

yes the word a-hole is mentioned many times, like your kids haven't heard that naughty word ever before...

I see big butts at Whole Foods and Trader Joes too. Perhaps NB has an ordinance against them.

Evidently, you haven't seen the over-flowing carts at Costco.

How 'bout we stick with big butt cars?

IMO, having 25+ items in the cart in the 10 or less lane is as rude as taking up two parking spaces.

Looks like the Optima took the optimum space, 4 of them. Leave any note, evidence, residue, hints?

If I were to see that like the Optima driver did, I would pull my old Saturn into one of those spots a full 2" away from his quarter panel and just wait for them. Or, better yet pull in sideways across their bow, about 2" away from the front bumper. If I had my truck, I would put 2 wheels up on the curb and park 2" from their passenger side.

Seeing crap like that burns my azz !

LOL, my Burb wouldn't fit, as I thought about it, as it was the closest open spot to park. Last week in Arora, another idiot parked over the line, and I parked the Outback right next to it, but centered in the spot. If they were any size, they had to use the otherdoor to get in.

Probably figured his bad-guy muttonchops would keep people from telling him to move move his doughboy ass.
