Saw this in Indy today

Not sure why anyone would try to protect this ride, but it appears the driver's "handicaps" include: 1) entering the parking from the wrong direction, 2) not being able to contain within one space, 3) installing 22" rims on a 4 door Impala. I passed a police car as I was leaving, and showed him the pictures. Last thing I saw was the constable parking next to this POS and waiting for the driver to emerge.

That's not a space on the right, is it?

Sell the rims. They're worth more than the ride. Go buy formula!

Seems this driver doesn't know how long his car actually is.

It looks like the right hand "spot" has a planter that takes up a large part of the spot. I see what looks like a curb running diagonally into the spot. Other than a smart car, or motorcycle, it doesn't look like that's a regular full spot that a regular car would fit in.

We have the perfect trifecta of how it pays to be young and beautiful parked in front of Pelican right now. She is blocking the driveway (green arrow) the red zone (yellow arrow) and the blue handicapped zone (red arrow) and she doesn't care. So about $1500.00 in tickets and then a tow and there are spots open about 10 yards away.
Note; arrows added to help with the Pelican theme.
