Default So you're at Starbucks parked by your lonesome, when this Ferrari parks next to you

Then this jacka$$ parks all over the line against the Ferrari for no reason whatsoever. Seriously, what is wrong with people?

Sorry for the poor quality pics:

Be thankful it was not my friend's wife. She has no concept of turning around an object after your rear wheels are past a certain point. Both sides of her mini van are literally caved in from turning too soon and scraping the object.

I remember when I was a LEO, a college student called to file a report about his truck being keyed in a public parking lot. When I arrived I noticed he was way over the line. He had a nice key mark down the side of his truck along with a note on the windshield that said "If you f*ck like you park, you'll never get it in". I couldn't help but laugh. Needless to say, no report was filed and I basically told him he learned his lesson the hard way.

Some people just think that if they park next to you out in the middle of no where their car is safer? 9/10 times I park far away and when I get back someone is next to me.

BTW, Time to upgrade your flip phone for a phone with a better camera. the 90's called and they want their cellphone back.

Looks like a cool old F car. I sure hope nobody in the SUV banged their door into it.

Yeah, but it's old. And old stuff can be a lot of fun. At least that's what I kept telling myself recently as I was replacing the starter for the second time in a year on my '68 GTO.

Many people who drive SUV's have no idea how big the thing is, being such, there is no concept as to where the rear of the SUV is. Or the person could have just been a big d**k. I would prefer to think the first thought, though

Well you are in car guy minority, the car is a 365 GTC 4.They made about 500 of them, they rarely trade hands and sell for over 250k when they do.
V-12 320hp.

The person in the SUV is a total tool. I honestly think its just conscious or sub-conscious passive aggressive behavior. Period.

I also find that when I park way out there someone will almost always park next to me. So odd.

Also as an added feature here in Seattle, its popular to spew hate of many kinds at any car, especially if you are riding a bike.

Kicking out the windows of the SUV seems like an appropriate response to me. Person is likely in need of a learning experience.

But most of the time its just someone who's so wrapped up in their own world that they are clueless of those around them. My second wife, may she rest in peace, was one of those. I made up a new word to explain the condition. Oblavious It means oblivious to the obvious.
