Default Went inside for just a minute and...

Look who decided to park by me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_458_Italia - brand new with paper I jags.

Just ran inside to pick up some BBQ take-out. I guess I'll take this as a compliment.

You can see he is looking for someone to key his car or park real close so he can't get in, what an ahold.

Nice. He does park like a D.

Speaking of parking, you pulled up super close to the curb. Almost looks like you are touching it.

Time for curb alert!

Don't people park like that so that car doors aren't opened into it? I thought that was normal for a High End car to be parked as such. I see it all the time.

He parked next to you because he knows you wont DING his doors. I disagree with all of you guys. The reason he parks like that is because he doesnt want any fool to hit his doors. I get scared to take two spots because some ******* will scratch you but what is the alternative? I always always park as far as possible but someone will always park next to me.

Nice cars

Ahhhhhhhh . . . A 458 Driver demonstrating the art of 'false entitlement' - I drive an F car therefor I 'deserve' to take up 2 parking spaces - and to be certain I don't scrape my front end, I 'deserve' to allow the back of my to protrude well into common driving lane . . . Enzo is probably grimacing in his grave

Sweet cars!!! As long as we are critiquing parking......... your pretty close to you splitter by the curb. Next time I demand you park up at the end where the curb is.....you car is only exposed on one side......... and you better back in!!!!

LOL just kidding!!!! Sweet ride. A black car parked next to a red car makes both look even better.

The problem with parking that way is other people take it as you saying "My car is the ****, if it could take a **** it wouldn't stink and oh by the way your car is a POS compared to mine and did I mention my car is God's gift to automobiles and...."

I don't know, your nose looks awfully close to that curb. I never park nose in myself because I've made some contact myself.

You should have left a note on his windshield calling him a Jerk or worse.

Oh, wait, wrong thread.
