Parking Lesson from a mustang?

Ok, so occasionally I have to take the Camaro to the store. When I do, I park way way out in the lot.

Today I stopped at the store and when I walked out I see a Mustang parked a few spots away. My first thought is "here is another guy keeping his car safe" and "thanks for not parking right up on me" (see pic 1)

As i get closer I notice this guy has taken up 4 spots and think what a D**K Head. Now I've taken up 2 spots before but never 4. I was thinking of pulling longways across the lot to see if I could take up 6.

I have parked like that, but in a much nicer car than a V6 Mustang.

4 spots is a bit overboard.

To be honest... who really cares how someone parks way out in the middle of the empty part of a parking lot.

I no longer live in a city where there are such things... but when I did, I couldn't give a rats ass how that lone car was parked in the middle of BFE. I'm sure I'm guilty of not paying attention to the lines a time or two... when I was in a hurry and I didn't wanna squeeze into a spot.

I park like a champ, in my opinion , but the only idiots I point and make fun of... are the ones who arn't doing it on purpose and probably shouldn't even have keys.

Maybe he was illustrating absurdity (I.e. Your parking job) by being absurd?

Agreed. I usually just try to park right next to them, so people can draw their own comparisons 'nuff said.
