    Sort-of-related: There's a Starbucks I'm occasionally at that is blessed by a regular customer who drives a red Ferrari. Said customer owns a sign, on a stick, that reads "Ferrari Parking Only: All others will be towed". He sometimes sticks it in the dirt in front of whatever space he parks in - yeah, he carries it with him.

    I've seen him in the Starbucks as well and literally every piece of clothing he wears has the Ferrari logo. Well, I haven't seen his undies, but come on.

    Anyway, I wonder how his car has not been vandalized. I can't imagine many people care about his Ferrari; the "high-status" car around these parts are Teslas.
    Either he's a saint from a previous life OR he likes giving Karma the middle finger.

      This guy tried this 2 more times before he started parking sideways in the space, taking up three spaces. So I just started parking sideways right next to his drivers door. Oh I had fun.
      Wow. I can imagine the face of rage. I'm surprised management/HR didn't have a chat with him about his parking.

      Hospital security was passing by once as I was leaving my car. I'd parked too close to the line on the driver's side. He encouraged me to fix it, which I did. Since it was evening shift, and I parked on the top of the parking deck, I didn't think I'd have a lot of company (and I didn't). Still, he was right. No excuse for sloppy parking. I moved it.

        BTW, the way for Argabarga to REALLY ruin Christmas would be for him to tow an illegally-parked sleigh.
        I'm no expert on two trucks, but I'm pretty sure they'd have a hell of a time getting up on the roof of a house to tow that sleigh!

                  Karma would be served if, one day, he emerged from Starbuck's to find a truck parked in his spot (Ferrari still there, but not visible at first glance), with his sign gone and the truck-owner's sign in its place: "Peterbilt parking only: All others will be crushed".

                    Yeah, but then you'd risk damage to the truck. Maybe if you drove a Freightliner or a Volvo...

                      Well, only because I've been in that situation before, if anyone remembers the "Stolen Truck Dumped Over Cliff" story

                      And that's about halfway up, the brown patch below is where it landed, the photo doesn't do justice to just how STEEP that first drop off where the grass ends is.

                        Yikes!

                        I would have loved to be able to watch that truck get pulled out. Hell, I'd have loved to have been able to help. But I have this weird love of mechanics and machinery, so that sort of stuff is just awesome to me.

                          Damn. I thought *I* was bad about that. I mean, I have *several* shirts with MGBs or Octagons on them. But, they usually only come out for car shows. At those, I'm not alone, just about *everyone* is wearing their "colors"
