Why would someone with a nice car park like this?

Seminole · 12-30-2009, 11:34 PM

This was the scene next to my car after leaving the sushi restaurant for dinner. Wish I had the type of money to afford a Maserati and not care about it.

MCMLXXXIX · 12-30-2009, 11:36 PM

quite sad. that car is just asking to get keyed and when it does...

those wheels look "rusty" dirty

I really don't know. Clicking on this thread I thought it would be a picture or a car in the middle of two spots, but this a really have no clue. This shows how stupid most people are I guess.

GOLFFRR · 12-30-2009, 11:43 PM

our neighbor bout a brand new 4 door Maserati last year for 125k just traded it in and only got 38k for it! holy smokes.

Cosmop · 12-31-2009, 12:28 AM

drunk parking. it's the only thing that makes sense. You're lucky he didn't hit your car.

SoCali E36 · 12-31-2009, 01:26 AM

I don't see what the problem is. It's an empty lot who cares how he's parked.

Bimmer Nerd · 12-31-2009, 02:01 AM

Maybe he was in the hurry or something ?

obviously not the driver

Tondtar · 12-31-2009, 02:30 AM

May be he had to run to the closest restroom to relieve himself.

boymonkey · 12-31-2009, 04:27 AM

Maybe it was a female driver.

FStop7 · 12-31-2009, 04:46 AM

It's Florida, the driver was probably 200 years old.

who's ur daddy? · 12-31-2009, 09:11 AM

No, the guy is probably doing it intentionally. Many lunatics who love their cars too much will park like that to prevent another car from parking too close to them - creating a buffer space. My crazy friend used to do that with his Prelude back in the day...

IMO, he's just asking to get keyed... :P

Probably this. He's probably trying to scare people into not parking beside him.

MJC///M3 · 12-31-2009, 10:20 AM

This is just plain ignorance IMO. As many other forum members here, this guy is just asking to get keyed/tires slashed.

I've seen a couple Bentleys and Lambos do this

Scorpion · 12-31-2009, 11:38 AM

Maybe he's just going in for a minute, so he didn't really worry how he parked...or he just doesn't care at all.

Spec 1 · 12-31-2009, 11:52 AM

That makes me wish I had a longbed truck to park directly beside him, making it near impossible for him to escape.

srobmw · 12-31-2009, 12:13 PM

Or maybe he/she is just a complete and utter asshole.

The lot does look pretty empty... Maybe maserati just got lazy.

Red Bread · 12-31-2009, 12:28 PM

Looks like there's still room to squeeze into the spot on the left of him, leaving him little room to get back into his car. I used to do that in college, when I had a CRX, and I'd climb into the back and get out of the hatch.

I wonder why people with common cars park like this? I can understand if you're driving a cool, rare car like a real Gullwing, a 250 GTO or even something newer like a Pagani or Koenigsegg, but when you're in a car that you can rent in Europe, why bother? My M Coupe is more rare than that no-resale having Maserati and still gets parked like any other car.

MrAdams · 12-31-2009, 12:36 PM

why would it be okay to key someones car because of how it's parked?

he probly doesn't give a f*ck about spending time parking. my bro did this all the time in his porsche and 7 series I never knew why but it was only during quick pit stops

Blake · 12-31-2009, 01:32 PM

those cars appear nice, but check the resale value on some of those. they dip down in the 60's with a new price tag of $150k. especially if it's an old one with a cambiocorsa tranny.
