    I have a business card that I carry with me for such occasions.
    It reads: If you can't park it, you shouldn't be driving it!
    I leave one under the windshield wiper.

    I have always contended that some of the worst drivers in the country live in Wisconsin. I suppose that holds true for the worst parker's also . . . :?

    Whenever I see a car parked like that, I surround the entire thing with shopping carts.

    Chazmati, have you ever gone to The Locker Room Bar in Menasha for Two Wheeled Tuesday? Good time and usually some pretty neat bikes there. Not to mention $2 brats.

    My observations are that Cadillac Escalade drivers are far more likely to drive like an a$$hat than any other model.

    As for parking, it's equal opportunity wrt geography and model of vehicle.

    Am I the only one that sees logic in this? I understand that parking in the FRONT of the store like that is douchey. But when Im at the mall or someplace like that, Of course I take up 2 spaces when theres room and its in the very back. Iv gotten a note on my car when doing that. Its like people get offended that I am trying to be "above the law" so then they think they have to act "above the law" and leave a retarted note so they can feel better about themself. Ego trip. I just think of it as respectfully protecting an asset.

    I agree on the poor parking of the car. It always irks me too.

    But who parks their bike deep into the parking space like that bike?

    I don't park deep because I've seen times when drivers looking for a parking space see what looks like an empty space, think there isn't anyone parked there, wheel in, and before they can see the bike, they are parked on top of it.

    And, usually, deep into the space is where you will find (with your tires) all of the oil slick from the cars previously parked there.

    Just MHO.

    I don't park deep in space either. I park pointed out, and at the end of the space, where a car would stop. Also at a bit of an angle, so a cager looking in to the spot will see more of the bike, instead of thin angle.

    my favorite is the fact that the nicer the car, seems like they don't include working turn signals. Its amazing to see 40k+ cars not come with turn signals... Just kills me!

    Totally disagree with you. If you need to protect something by doing that YOU ARE A TOTAL *SS. Drivers that do that in our neck of the woods get TOWED and get a hefty fine. If the owner is that paranoid over his car LEAVE IT HOME!!!! He is asking for what he gets.

    What do you do when you drive a truck wider than the parking stripes and won't turn out into the travel lanes without taking out the car next to it?

    There's always an exception to the rule, of course.

    I got to the yard the other day for work. Parked were I always park. Right next to another car. Someone came up and parked next to me. Cool. Get the paperwork for my jobs that day. Get into my work truck. Notice someone park in front of me. Whatever I can still get out. Come back 5 hr later and someone parked right behind me. I was completely blocked in. I was so F***ing mad! It wasn't even a joke that's just how stupid some people are.

    That reminds me of something that happened to me when I was single. I'll sum up by saying that if you live in APT#12, do not park in the space for APT#10 by mistake.....you will have to walk to work the next day :lol:
    I was so very boxed in.
