The Official CarSPIN Bad Parking Hall of Shame.

Motherfucker at Burger King taking up two spaces. This place has a small parking zone good for about 6 cars. And with this dumbass taking up two spaces, only four cars can park here now. God damn bitch.  





And wow, this idiot parked his Renault Scenic right behind my parking space. I could park my little 1er here but my parents couldn't park their E-Class in their spot because they couldn't use the space to maneuver. This asshole parked here for FOUR DAYS. We complained to the management and it took them FOUR DAYS to call a towing company to have this bastard towed away.  

And there are two signs right there that PROHIBIT PARKING THERE.

Saw this happen.  The guy gets out of his SUV, looks at his park job, decides it's okay, and walks away.  Seriously,

I posted the pics of this old Beetle in the Spotted Today thread but the crap parking job earns it a place here, too.

The repercussions of parking in the middle of a speed hump installation are less severe (for that driver) than some might have hoped. This parking job is definitely leaving a mark:

I expected to find a heart attack victim slumped over the wheel. But no, it was just a teenager who'd stopped, got out, & walked away (there was a high school graduation party in a house nearby).



Question. Do you think the Mustang was a graduation present from Daddy?
Bonus question. Can you identify the car in the background?

Mazda Millenia, an early version.

Mazda Millenia, an early version.

That's it. A pretty reasonable play at a well-specced first tier car, but hobbled because it came from a second tier manufacturer.

Millennia was supposed to the first "Amati" model, right?

Millennia was supposed to the first "Amati" model, right?

Yes, along with a flagship model which never materialised.

^Beautiful town landscape!^

I can see why he was distracted.

Some dumb lady parked her huge Suburban in front of my driveway, even though the curb was totally clear. I glared, she half-assed an apology.

Caught the pair of breeder buses in front of the supermarket.

"Breeder buses"

[Madman]

Typical "I drive a big fuck-off truck and I can park however I like" pickup owner.  Grand Cherokee driver on the left not much better, either.

^Those mufflers look after-market!^

Looks to me like courteously trying to avoid the RX-8 that's straddling the other line.

Nope.  Stock on the diesels.

Ah sweet! At least he's getting 77 mpg with that diesel SUV instead of the 3 mpg with the base model gas V6!

[AutobahnSHO]

wife's grandma did that- she got her license at 70+ yrs old, because grandpa's vision got too bad to drive.

After this and sideswiping a schoolbus, all concerned took away the car and had them start riding the bus or hitching rides.

[Northlands]

I'd immediately think: " bored teenagers ".   

Dukes of Hazzard style exit and reentry.

[hotrodalex]

I'd say that's an excellent parking job if they didn't scratch the sides of the car.

On another note, that gen Corolla wasn't a bad looking car.

[Madman]

Went shopping for some office supplies and noticed the strip mall had these "Compact Only" parking spaces around the perimeter of the car park.  Problem is there are so many idiots out there who don't seem to know what a "compact" car is!

A gigantic Toyota Sienna brat bus?  Doesn't look very "compact" to me!





Okay, a Focus may qualify, but at least park the damn thing properly!





But a fecking huge Toyota Highlander does not!





Pontiac Firebird owner's brain is probably too addled by crystal meth to be able to concentrate on parking!





Honda Accord driver not even trying!





Seriously, I could have sat there all day watching people trying to squeeze inappropriately sized cars into these "compact" spaces!

[cawimmer430]

Holy shit.

Burn in hell, motherfucker. 

This dumbass in a POS Ford Fiesta takes up two parking spaces. If he had parked properly I could have used that very last spot. You're driving a fucking small economy car. It's not that hard to park!!! God damn pussy.
