Default Corvette Parking Only

OK, this guy at the complex where I'm staying seems to have special parking privileges. Does this give the rest of us a bad name, or should we all do this?

I would be scared of some unwanted key stripes down the side.

That's just asking to get your car keyed. Not cool!

That practice will **** off someone and get his car keyed. No doubt.

Looks like there are numbers on the spaces. Maybe he rented two of them. If not this may happen to him sooner or later.



Saying should be reversed.

I don't think it gives Corvette owners a bad name, But he is going to get a surprize one of these mornings for sure.

I'd leave him a not at first. And then maybe contact the complex manager. When I lived in an apt building the manager said if I needed I can just call and have a car towed for parking in MY spot. If there were now other spots when you got home and that car was parked like that I'd call a tow truck right away.

Maybe write up a tow notice that says this car will be towed if it is parked like this 48 hours from this point. And put in some bogus tow company name.
