I have no doubt in my mind,after being a Corvette owner for a number of
years,that IF the powers that be, would LET you bring your Corvette onto Catalina Island and park it in front of the Wrigley Mansion that overlooks the harbor,you leave for an hour and when you returned,you can bet that somebody would be parked next to you!!Even though you two have the only private autos on Catalina and the whole island to park. These dudes that park and take up two or three spaces in a parking lot shouldn't have driven the car anyway if they are that concerned about the vehicle. What's the problem with parking your car,whether it be a Corvette or any other vehicle,away from some of the inconsiderate people in this world that have no problem opening a door agaisn't it or leaving a shopping cart next to it for it to roll into it?

How did you buy into this Bad-boy mentality and how would you like others doing the same to you ? |

We are talking now about ****s who park diagonally across 2 or 3 spaces. Do try to keep up. |

We're talking somebody who takes up 2 or 3 spaces *yards and yards and spaces if not rows away from all other parked cars!!!* Why the **** would you care? Oh, yes. I remember. Because you're a prick!

Because you're a prick! Calm down. Re-read the thread and try to follow how the discussion progressed from the original point. Read for comprehension, if you can. It's certainly been interesting (and rather surprising) seeing so many people getting all cranked up and defensive of selfish parkers taking extra spaces in busy parking lots. Not that *I* would do it, but I can see why certain other types might key such a car drawing attention to itself like that. And if it matters, I got a brand new car keyed down all panels both sides once, while it was parked quite properly. I have no idea why it was done. |
