I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to squeeze in between your Corvette and the bucket.
Next time maybe a bit more of an angle just to be safe.

Who drives the excavator to where you are going?

Early 90s i sell my 81 wide body show car to a LEO buddy,
He allows his younger brotger to drive it to work, he works construction,
Within days a mixer truck backed into it, just the start of several such events,
Ask and you may receive...

So, I take it you knew the operator of the excavator and cleared that in advance.

This was my all time favorite on parking a corvette ala Cheers ...

[Sam is interviewing potential buyers for his Corvette]

Sam Malone: This'll be pretty simple, here. Just a few multiple choice questions.

Dennis Hammill: Great. Shoot.

Sam Malone: Number one. It's high noon. You're driving in Harvard Square. Parking is limited. Do you: A. park in a handicap zone. B. park in a regular spot under a tree. C. drive around till a space opens up.

Dennis Hammill: C.

Sam Malone: [rants] What, are you nuts? I can't believe it, man. It's a trick question. You don't drive this baby at high noon, man. Sun damage, bucko. What the hell's wrong with you? What do you want to do, oxydize the paint? Get out of here, you make me sick. I can't believe it, he wants to drive my car, high noon in Harvard Square...
