Default Two guys go to Home Depot...

Two equally nice black convertibles, two drivers with distinctly different personalities.

Give him his moment. The Jag driver bleeds cash at the Jag repair shop, but for a few seconds, it held together long enough to do an errand. Old habits die hard and he still parks so the tow truck can get at it from either end.

I always park at the end of a lot, good exercise and good for the Vette. But taking more than one spot is NOT smart IMO. Folks perceive you think you are privileged (bad enough you own a car that confirms it in their mind!) Could result in keying the car etc!

Yup, the only thing more expensive than a new Jag is an old Jag!

LOL! Great photos. I park out in the boonies and never take up more than one spot. However, I also avoid areas with grass or plantings on the chance the sprinkler might come on.

Taking TWO parking spots almost guarantees a keyed paint job... Chewing up THREE could add punctured tires to the mix...
I looked into a Jag, than recalled when my brother in law had one and it spent as much time in the dealership than in his garage, and once out of warranty he had to get a loan from the credit union to bail it out of the shop...

Parking like the guy did in the first pick is just plain dumb - it just attracts attention to your car and increased the chance of it getting vandalized. Plus it's just douchey.

...and never park under a tree....will take hours of buffing to get the tree sap off...bug and tar remover will not work...the resin does not dissolve in any solvent that won't at the same time ruin your paint.

Nice looking Jag, but the owner is an idiot for parking like that.

Yes it does, Steven. To tell the truth I don't even think he was at Home D. There is a brand new dentist building right next to this parking lot and the hygienist had her Escalade parked straddling two places in the same section as the Jaguar. I think they both work at the office. They must have had too many appointments to fit their cars in their own lot. The hygienist parks there most everyday (my GF knows her and recognizes the HiJean on her license plate).
