Jeep driver was an idiot.
I would have parked closer so the corvette driver had to get in from the passenger side.

I tried two browsers and disconnected from my VPN and couldn't get the video to play. I even tried looking for it on YouTube. Fuckers always have to have their own fancy fuck player.

Firefox played the flash video with no problems.

This just didn't seem very effective. The dude just went out and got into his car.

srsly, jeep needed to get waaaaaaaaay closer to the driver door. he should've unloaded his passenger and crept up 1-2" next to the 'vette, so the driver of the 'vette would have to go through his passenger door.

Agreed. Closer in such a way they couldn't get in the drivers side.

Also, the dude's car is pretty cool...just let him have two spots. I hate it when entitled people do entitled things, but I think I would let this go unless parking was known to be at a premium. Perhaps it was.

have you ever seen the interior of a vette? i doubt most people can swing a leg over the console and slide over in any vette

How is a last gen (C6) Corvette cool? The new one (C7) has already been out for a year.

The guy with the jeep failed. All he did was to make the guy with the Corvette waste 2 minutes checking for dings. If you're going to do it, you have to do it right. If you don't squeeze in close enough to the offending car to make it impossible to open the door and get in you've accomplished nothing.

If someone prevented me from getting in my vehicle, their's would be the loser.

I think you need to be mad at the losers that go dinging car doors all the time. So you can't blame the rest of the people who just want to try and protect their car from those morons.

However don't do it close to where people actually need the spot. Go park in the very back where nobody should need to park but where some lamer will always go park right next to you when there are 100 spots open.

I'd saw the jeep guy is a huge douche too if not more for parking on the curb where people need to walk. Now you make everyone walking in have to walk around him.

I watched some old people open their doors and bash the living crap out of the car next to it. He just didn't even care or probably even notice. Just got out of his car all carefree swinging the door open like nothing mattered in the world. BAM. Walked on his merry way.

The funny thing is that some other guy came out later and his passenger who didn't see that happen, did the EXACT same thing to that other car. Wow talk about instant Karma.

Anyway yeah, you kind of gotta blame the arses that keep ruining other peoples cars more. Just don't take up an extra space so close or if parking is at a premium.

Why not both? I don't respect people that do that any more than I do people that take up multiple spaces.

-I wouldn't mess with someone parked correctly but away from everyone else in the lot. They're probably being paranoid but it's not harming anyone at all.
-The thought might cross my mind if the same person were parked across four spaces in the middle of nowhere, but as long as there are spaces to spare I don't really care.
-Someone using more than one space when there aren't plenty of spaces, or parking next to the entrance like the Corvette in the OP, however, such a person is a douchebag and deserves an occasional saran wrapping.
