I parked this Durango in this tight space (when I took this photo my back is against the wall, there isn't much room to maneuver here!!!). I rock.  :praise:

I added those in Photoshop to show the parking lines. It wasn't such a big deal since the parking lot was empty, but it bothered me! :lol:

Oh there are. Look closely at my red marking and what is beneath them. You have bricks that are light, darker, light, darker and so forth and those are the lane markers. They could use a more visible color IMO.

REPEAT OFFENDER!!!!!!

Back in November 2010, I caught this old geezer in his big ugly old geezer car parking in that same no-parking zone outside my local Kroger supermarket.  Well, here his is again, still up to his old tricks.....


.



And here he was, being caught in the act a year and a half ago!  Parked in the EXACT same spot, too...........


Quote from: Madman on November 25, 2010, 11:14:41 AM
I've seen this car parked in the same place a couple of times.  The old geezer (who else!?!) who owns this Cadillac always parks along the kerb, near the door to the supermarket rather then finding a proper parking place.




This time, I've caught him red-handed getting into his car!  There's nothing wrong with his legs and his car has no handicapped placard.  He's just a lazy old fart!

This guy wasn't quite touching me when I came back to the car, but it was literally an inch away. I'm pretty sure he's responsible for a scrape I found on my front bumper, judging by how gouged up his is.

Celebrity Bad Parking!

Miley "Hannah Montana" Cyrus likes her Mercedes Benzes.  She also likes using disabled parking spaces, too.

Shame on you, Miley!  :nono:
