Default Corvette Dick...

Plenty of spaces, so this jerk off could have parked well out of the way to keep his precious car intact. People that do this shit get on my last nerve.

No C8 for me. Down to a C5 that my son drives, and my Camaro. I don't exercise good judgement with high performance Corvettes. If you don't track them, autocross like Data, etc. you just don't get your money's worth. The Grand Sport I had was a prison sentence waiting to happen. Glad it's gone.

You have no idea how many of those parking turtles I have left on cars. We printed them by the 100's. Not kidding either.

I have known people to stick an ice pick in the side wall.

I would never think about doing that, but I would certainly express my opinion if the driver was near. It will be comical if he/she finds out they got called out on a Corvette website.

A couple of decades ago, I had printed up a sheet for when people parked too close to me:

"Thank you for parking so close!
Next time, leave a ****ing can opener so I can get my car out!
Assholes like you should ride the bus!"

Meh, whenever I see parking like this, it doesn't strike a nerve with me. All the driver is doing is showing how important the car is to him, which makes it a prime target. Not my problem.

For those who like to park like that, how about putting a sign on your car to defuse criticism:

"Apologies for the parking overreach. I'm so fat that I have to open the doors all the way or I can't get in or out with my wheelchair and oxygen bottle."

I never thought it wise to take two spaces. Common sense tells me not to drive a nice car to Walmart. More so, not to drive it to a Trump Rally.

I get that, but there were tons of out of the way spaces where no one would have gotten near his car. So therefore, I stand by my original statement.
