I can understand the vett owner[nice car] but parking at the front door taking 2 spots...uncool....park it in the woods.
as for the fool in the jeep,you parked on the side walk,now people have to walk around your sh$tbox.
2 wrongs....some times don't make a right.
Let the bashing begin........................

Probably would have been aggravated by the vette, but done nothing, as is the owners fault, and not the corvette's.

If I had owned corvette; probably wouldn't have taken it to a crowded restaurant if I was so concerned with it.

If I had owned anti-zombie jeep; probably would have kept my head under the pillow and never got out of bed.

Only thing missing are the "Handicap" placards hanging from their rear view mirrors...and both parking the same way in "Handicap" spots and sprinting inside in their sweatsuits and Jordan's.

Around here all you need is an officer. He'll issue the proper respect the Corvette owner deserves (doesn't even matter if he owns the place).

During the last couple years of my mom's life, and we'd all go out to eat, I'd always need to push her wheelchair clear across a restaurant parking lot because every handicapped space was taken. Sorry to hear that it's not just in California that happens.

As for the Corvette, some guy showed up at our local cruise in a new 'Vette and parked it (outside the ropes, of course) like that. We were mostly amused that he thought his Corvette was a Rolls Royce or something...

I'd have been tempted to park like the Jeep owner did - only a lot closer. So close that the Corvette owner couldn't get into his car, maybe like 6" from the side of his car.

That way the Jeep wouldn't have blocked the whole sidewalk.

Would have been fun to watch the Vette owner's reaction to that...

That would have been the thing to do.

2 wrongs don't make a right . . . . .but 3 lefts do!

One of my favorite sayings, but I agree with you. It would be poetic justice if the Jeep guy got a ticket for illegal parking while proving his point.

I like parking far away from the crowd. In addition to keeping door dings away, it gives you more time to gaze lovingly at your beloved machine while walking to the car! ; > )

Ok so the guy that had roped his car off and was showing it to the world is criticizing the guy who was showing his car off outside the rope??
I don't get it???

I had an old 79 Grand Am. Loved that car. Had a putz at work park his BMW 5 in two spots. I was just able to squeeze in between him and the car to his left. The moon roofs in those old Grand Am's are huge, and easy to climb out of. I am sure he had to get in through his passenger door. Wish I could have seen it.

What's funny is the video clip at the end of the article. The Jeep guy sat by the restaurant window and video'd the Vette guy getting back into his car with his girl. Two guys walk by and appear to be laughing at him.
