Dick move.

why is it a dick move if not in a crowded lot? You are decreasing your probability for an accidental but very detrimental blemish sounds like intelligence...

No.

Taking up two spots is ALWAYS a douche move. If you're disabled, then use a disabled spot. Just because someone drives a "nice" car doesn't entitle them to use up more than is allotted to them. You aren't above the rules because you're worried someone might ding your Chevy. That, and it draws even more attention to yourself in a negative way. You are much more likely to get keyed for looking like a douche bag thinking you get to take up two spots cause you're a special snowflake.

People who purposely take up two spaces are the same as idiot SUV drivers who don't know how to park and come in crooked and over the line so you can't park next to them. Under no circumstances is it ever okay to take up multiple spots. Anyone who says otherwise is an inconsiderate ******* who thinks they're more important than everyone else.


But I digress.

Cool pic

Always liked the maturity in this section when it came to appreciating other cars.


Now when it comes to parking spots....

Being handicapped doesn't mean you can't move

Pool exercises are great for people who have chronic joint issues

Only on the internet can a discussion of a picture of 2 great sports cars turn into a debate about parking.

Nice pics, I enjoyed them more than the banter regarding parking lot courtesy.
