The Official CarSPIN Bad Parking Hall of Shame.

[ifcar]

If I were you I would call my lawyer. This guy is probably going to sue you for $ 1 million in damages. 

Oh, and you spotted an ultra exotic car: the Mitsubishi Lancer. Congrats!

Nope, I spotted a not-terribly-rare Mitsubishi Mirage.

They're common in the US?

I see more Galants here than I do Lancers. Sales wise the Lancer is a failure here.

Yeah, a Mirage from the days when Mitsubishi was king of "No money, no job, no credit?  NO PROBLEM!!!" deadbeat finance deals.  I guessing about 70 per cent of those Mirages were repossessed before they were a year old.  Mitsu can't give away cars these days because the Koreans (Kia, especially) have taken over as the cars of choice for the financially destitute.

That annoying dweeb who appears in the TV commercials for my local Kia dealer (evidently, he's the owner) is always banging on about how "IF YOU HAVE A JOB AND $149.00, I CAN PUT YOU IN A BRAND NEW KIA!!!!!!!!!"  That was Mitsubishi's schtick 15 years ago.

Bad job parking your VAN.

(Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, one day this week...)

[ifcar]

He wanted to make sure nobody could mess up his paint job.

[Madman]

Saw this on another site.

The silver Acura is touching the line.  FAIL!

Nice Photoshop. No helicopter shadow and no Acura reflection on the helicopter.

[hotrodalex]

And the tree on the other side of the helicopter would be chopped to bits if it tried to take off.

[Rupert]

Porsche drivers are always assholes.

[Catman]

I would have kicked a dent in his door and called it a day.

[cawimmer430]

Porsche drivers are always assholes.

I know! Do you know a guy called Rupert?  What an... I mean he drives a Porsche!

[Rupert]

Yeah, what a fag.

[cawimmer430]

Yeah, what a fag.

Should have bought a Miata! Now that is manly!

[Rupert]

I'll make sure the license plate says GRL RCR.

[Madman]

Spotted this awkwardly parked Saturn Ion in my neighbourhood.  It's been sitting like this for more than two weeks.

[SVT_Power]

Well if it's been sitting there for 2 weeks, it's probably better to have it as off the road as possible 

[The_Joker]

I parked like a #*)@** tonight and immediately thought of this thread...



Oh and this was further down, note the corner parking spot which isn't a spot.  

[S204STi]

w0w.

[cawimmer430]

Oh look, now the cops can't park properly! 




They were frisking some nearby punks and alcoholics and checking their IDs. But still - imagine you live here and have to park your car in the garages there and you can't because a cop car is blocking your way! 

[ifcar]

Not exactly "bad" parking, but probably not especially smart parking:

[Rupert]

That tree's stable. No disturbed ground, sidewalk is fine.

[ifcar]

We have a lot of trees come down in D.C. come down that never tilted at all. This seems like tempting fate here.

[Madman]

Maybe he wants his Pathfinder to get crushed so he can collect the insurance money?

[Madman]

This monstrosity was featured in The Rice Thread but this shit parking job earns it a place here, too.

[Rupert]

Well, I don't think the tilt increases the chances the tree will fall; just guarantees the direction it eventually will fall.

[cawimmer430]

Went shopping today, saw this...



Ok, so girls suck at driving. Nothing new here. 


But 10 minutes later when I came back out (I'm a quick shopper), same place pretty much...




Today was PARK LIKE A MORON DAY in Munich. 

[Rupert]

Ha!

[Madman]

Stole this photo from another site.  Too funny not to post here!
