Like everyone said, just no reason to do this except to elicit a reaction.
I somewhat assume he was looking for a confrontation,,
I mean, he couldn't be that much of a non thinking buffoon, could he?

Yep, but no damage.. if there was, I'm stormin back into the store to confront..
Per most advice, I'm now packing a small valve core remover tool..
Next time, someone will be coming out to a flat...
Stuck? call a tow truck or change it..
Could care lees if there's cameras...

I really don't see anything wrong with this picture. the other car is clearly in the middle of their lane and your vette in clearly in the middle of your lane. There seems to be plenty of space between the two cars. what's the big deal? Maybe the other driver was admiring your vette and just wanted to park close to it to get a better look at it. All too often Vette owners think just because they drive a Vette that others are not allowed to park next to them. Where in the rules books does it state that open parking spots around Vettes are off limits to others? Folks, if you haven't already figured it out, your Vette is just a depreciating Chevy.

This is why I carry a Schrader valve tool with me ...

Lots of advice and opinions but I must respectfully disagree with most. You remove a valve stem or place something on someone’s car it’s you that will probably get arrested or fined when things escalate. Your going to wait and confront someone face to face? So your willing to actually fight someone over this or get shot? I’m 6’ 4” and 230 pound former state trooper and carry a weapon. I learned long ago no matter how tough you think you are or good of a fighter, there is always someone tougher and usually smaller than you. It’s just not worth it. It’s much easier to move your car than have your wife help you stop the bleeding 😉👍

This is just people being dbags, get used to it, the world is filled with them. If there is no damage, just let it go. If the person who did that is crazy enough to do that, it's probably better not to escalate the situation. If there was damage, I'd take pictures then wait for the dimwit to come back and tell him you want to see his insurance.

Doesn't matter, but says he has a big ego, or doesn't know how to park, or ill depth perception. It's not a truck, it only needs one space. It's a c7, its not a ferrari, or Lamborghini.

LOL, as you can see parking over the line, even if it's far away from anything else, pisses some people off and to teach you a lesson, they do something douchey like the OP had to deal with. But sometimes, even if you park perfectly, some dipshit will park right next to you just to be a dick.

Someone parked next to you?! In an open parking spot?! THE NERVE!! Next they'll be wanting to drive on our roads! Sad...

Aw c'mon, its common courtesy not to park right next to someone if there are open spots especially if the guy is parked way out in the wastelands. It's even worse if you don't leave room for the person to get in and out of the car. It's a dick move and it's done with that intention (being a dick), it's not like driving on the road with someone.

That would **** me off! How would I react? Just ignore it and go on with life. Especially if no damage occurred. Be the bigger man. Life's what you make it. You can go through life angry, or happy. I choose to be happy.
