Pickup truck drivers around here are downright poison. Especially guys with lift kits have an axe to grind with pretty much everyone it seems.

I had had one park a few inches from my cayman drivers door in a huge mostly empty lot outside a strip mall. I calmly waited for the owner to show up. His **** faced grin response...”sorry I did not see you there”.

Sortof like, our two cars are away and clear. That pickup truck driver in the video above did no wrong and the prank is lame at best. If anything the glance to the porsche is showing appreciation. A yellow 996 driver may be the one with the *****-problem.......

For whatever reason, my wife's SUV has been tagged THREE times as Whole Foods with no note left on any occasion. This is across 2 Whole Foods locations. I think its a combination of wealthy clientele who drive large expensive SUV's. Wealthy women tend to be petite so perhaps they cannot see?

Sorry to hear about your damages. It does not make one want to love those people who do that and drive off - understatement!
We are retired and I do the shopping. Wifey hates shopping but lets me have my Porsches and events, even tho she could care less about car stuff. So i don't mind doing the shopping, and really do enjoy shopping when on sunny day blasts in my 911.
I walked thru a Whole Foods store not long ago and bought nothing. I shop for best products at the best price. Everything I looked at was 20 to 100% more than what I pay. Sorry, but I did not see anything at Whole Foods worth buying, at their prices.
I don't hate Whole foods, but they certainly are not on my list of stores.
One store I like, Trader Joe's here, has a ridiculously small parking lot and I'm very leery of getting dings there. But I have the luxury of shopping there during off-peak weekday hours and I park in the furthest spots, to avoid door dings.

you need to find a whole foods 365. they are lower priced, although geared towards millenials.

And I would have responded, "Yeah, I didn't know little dick syndrome also causes poor vision. Learn something new every day!"

I stopped because I was told to pick up some fancy olives, I'm more of a Sprouts shopper. Whole Foods is way over priced IMO.

The minivan to his left is practically on the line. Didn't leave the pickup driver much of a choice. Just saying.

Have you ever seen the movie Se7en? Envy is one of the seven deadly sins and it looks like you ran into one who is also inbred.

You know, vehicles only have one spare tire.

If the minivan is actually as close to the line as you estimate (because there is no clear way to tell from that photo), and if the pickup driver parked after the minivan (which we have no way of knowing from the provided information), then yes: the pickup driver most definitely had a plethora of choices. Namely, he(or she) could have simply chosen to park in a spot that wasn't compromised by an ill-parked minivan which "forced" him(her) to park at this angle. But, why should the pickup driver have to walk an extra 20 steps from a different spot when they can simply inconvenience someone else, amirite?

Man your appealing to my weakness of bananas, although I enjoy the free range one's myself, I feel it leads to the banana having a better life.

The owner of the van had to dive out of the way of the truck drive ripping through the parking lot. The van was centered in the lines.
