    Not enough information. What kind of parking lot is this? Is it an 'employee' lot? Is this a 'visitor' lot? Is this at a shopping mall? An apartment complex? Hospital? School? Public 'City' lot? Private?

    In a public "city" lot, this car should be at least ticketed if not towed. If an apartment complex and the spots are assigned by apartment, no problem (as long as both those spots are assigned to them).

    Circumstances make a difference in my attitude towards this type of action.

    I just thought, if you pay for 2 bays then what's the problem?

    just stick the 2 stickers side by side

    Considering the car, that's perfectly acceptable.

    I would have that POS (Geo?) next to it towed, though.

    Key it? What are you? Sick or something?

    It would depend on the circumstances. The best I was ever part of was using two floor jacks and moving a car into a tight spot, about the equivalent of turning that one sideways and trapping it.


    Now when I was real young, there was a group of guys that would pick up and carry VW Beetles and put them in all kinds of tight spots. One of the funniest that I rember was one that they had carried up a set of steps and shoehorned into an entrance infront of the local high school.

    Agreed. The guy is obviously a wanker.

    Key it? No. If its someplace where its like that again and again let me give you the plan.

    Drop one, put it in a paper bag. Throw bag at car next time you see it.

    Totally acceptable. I take up two spots every day at work (park in the farthest corner of the lot to boot).
    Yeah, I'd get a little upset if it was a really busy parking lot... but anything short of the day after Thanksgiving I'd just stare as I walked by.

    I got no beef with the guys that park in two spots when they do it on the outskirts of the lot, but what does really kind of burn me up is some of the vallet parking areas. I mean someone pulls right up to the front door and gets out. Then a kid jumps in and goes and parks it for them. But why do most places put the vallet lot right there in the prime parking spots. I mean come on people. All they have to do is put the lot area in the outskirts and radio the kid to bring a car up when the owner comes out.

  11. He obviously does not want some dick opening his car door and dinging his Enzo, something that really pisses me off about car parks. Although in my case its not an enzo that gets dinged

    Put little pebbles in the air caps. it won't deflate too fast, but enough to where they won't know it's you.

    Damn Prick. If They're gonna drive a car like that they should only be visiting places with a Valet, and taking the crap car to work. Save the scratches for the Lexus or Jaguar. The worst is when they do it in small parking lots that have a heavy amount of people visiting. If someone parks like that at a Wal-Mart, I could care less as they usually have a lot of available spaces.

    Someone did this with a Viper at the zoo last week and the lot is absolutely full at all times, with about 20 cars hovering around like vultures for someone to leave. I was extremely pissed.

    I don't care what kind of car it is, there is no excuse for this. Park in a secluded spot in the back if one is available. If one is not available then park like everyone else or go to a private lot, buy two spaces, and walk.

    Is this not considered double parking? I know that this is usually when you park next to someone blocking them in, but does this qualify too? If so then its illegal and that doesn't change because you've got a nice car.

    I'd never key a car for any reason but I would just smile if I saw someone else do it.

    I'm considering buying some of these:

    In high school print shop there was always someone that printed up some form or another of the gag parking ticket. My last year, someone, printed up a batch that was on a really gummy peel and stick stock. The glue on this sticker was so thick and nasty that it took like acetone to remove it. When one of these Parking stickers was put on a car in the hot sun, it would slide down leaving one hell of a glue trail. And then dust and pollen would stick to the glue trail and really look like hell. It was one of the best gags that we could pull without doing actual damage.

    Tow him. Greedy ******.
    It's just a car, not a priceless artifact.

    Keying cars is terrible. Shame on you for doing it. Shame on you for taking thrill in seeing it. Shame on you for being complacent to it happening. Only a true ******* would do something like that. Yes, even more of an ******* than the guy that took up two spots.

    Whoa! I'm not a Ferrari fan, but the Enzo is a nice car and will go down in history. Not as nice as this, though:

    I guess you've never lived in a place where parking space is extremely limited.

  21. I live in a place like that, and careless parking does annoy me a bit. You see someone abandoning their car in such a way that you can't get into a space (and my car isn't that big) and there aren't any more spaces. It's just inconsiderate. However, if there are plenty of spaces I suppose parking your car like that is OK.

    Good Pranks: Place fake parking tickets on windshield, pebbles in air valves, Sharpie marker (on window only), soap Pen across the windshield and other windows, plastic wrap around the car, urinate somewhere on the body of the car (relieves more than stress), placing potatoes in exhaust pipe.

    Bad Pranks: Urinate in gas tank, place sugar in gas tank, place marble in gas tank, pour water in gas tank, keying the body, slicing tires, locking a boot to a wheel and throwing the key away, physical damage to the car, cutting the brake lines, marking or painting the body of the car, its illegal to place a sticker on the windshield of a car {in the US, or at least in NV}(only place on driver side window), epoxy or glue in keyhole or gluing a penny or dime over keyhole, loosening wheel nuts, placing italian dressing on body of car on a hot sunny day, putting a flame to the car or treating the gastank like a maltov cocktail.

    It's not that it's about "just two parking spots." It's about self-absorbed jerks who clearly have no consideration for others. He doesn't want his car dinged? Well, TFB -- he's far more likely to get his car damaged just driving to this parking lot in the first place.

    People who do that annoy the heck out of me, and I don't live in a large city by any means. If someone wants to do that, it's ok with me if they do it clear in the BACK row.

    Yeah, Chicago is pretty wide open.

    Guess I'm just used to it... doesn't bother me. Oh well.

    Where I work, there are only 30 spaces. The building has some law offices, financial offices and 2 dentist offices, so parking is pretty limited. We often get 3 or more jerks that park like that at a time, and they are nowhere close to each other.

    To park like that is not neccessarily illegal. If it is a public parking lot, it could be illegal according to state, city, or local laws. However, private parking lots aren't subject to those laws. They can still have you towed away for not obeying their parking lot rules. The last thing you want is to be towed. They're probably better off getting keyed. :/
