Obviously the other drivers are not vette owners or they would know the vette owner will get into the car via rear entry or would simply remove the targa roof and get in via top entry

You need to leave a nice note (in spray paint of course) asking next time to leave you a @%$# can opener so you can get in your car!

Simple, I'd call a friend with 4x4 truck and a tow chain. I'd drag both of the other cars out of the way and leave.

Can you really do that? I thought tow companys only listen if you are the police or else you own the parking lot where the car is parked. If that is not the case what is to prevent abuse (random jerks calling tow companies to tow cars just for laughs).

I’m not sure how I would handle the confrontation...but if I was in a hurry, I would just roll down the windows via "window valet" crawl in and drive off

Why come here and start trouble

Looking at the lines the vette is in sure is a small parking space, or is that a widebody vette.

This reminds me when I first bought my C6 and was debating on my personalized license plates and thought about getting "4 U 2 N V". That thought lastest all of about 7 seconds once I thought about jerks like this and my car possibly being keyed.

Yep the more I think about it. Maybe one car, but not two cars boxing him in.

How do you know it wasn't the Corvette driver who pulled into that spot and the picture was taken (IF real) after the car in the left hand spot had just left???

If it is a real pic, they could all be friends and this was a joke on the vette bro, albeit still too close for comfort. And I still wouldn't think it was funny. If not friends, they are clearly over the line and maybe a "tow" is in order, if possible. At any rate, still have to think of any reprocussions against you.

I'm afraid of what I'd do.

Hence why I ALWAYS use end spots (there is one available in that pic ) and park TIGHT to the curb side.
