Default Parking

Saw a beautiful car today in a local parking lot. 10 minutes after I took this picture, there were cars parked on one side and in front of him and the lot was getting more traffic.

Why would anyone think that they should take 4 spots in a parking lot. No wonder people hate Corvette owners (not Corvettes)

Oh yeah, Vette owners don't have to put on front plates.......

Was probably lucky that someone didn't key the car.



This just gives "a-holes" probable cause......(in their minds)

If anyone is scared to park in a regular parking space..take your other car!
I personally see alot of spaces in that pic where I would of parked, and just left one side exposed.

As far as the front license plate...not all states and provinces require them.

The 'inflated sense of entitlement' some exhibit is as ugly as the car is beautiful.

Definitely an idiot (and very lazy). There's several ideal spots for a Vette in that pic: corners, ends of rows...

As Kelly LeBrock said ..... "don't hate me because I'm beautiful". That is a beautiful car. I would have taken a parking spot on the far end. That's about the best you can do.

It's sad that the Lexus owner had as much concern about their car, but more common sense.

Yeah, I do the "back-forty" thing but draw the line on hogging spaces. I always see that as begging for a key job, or worse. I have seen several instances of Camaro owners hogging space like the vette in the picture.

There is a blue C5 owner that does the same thing at a nearby parking lot. I think he works in Burger King since that is the closest business and he is there almost every day. While it is nice there really isn't anything special about it. Or they'll take up two slots which is just as bad, especially if the car lot is crowded.
