Default Porsche Parking at its finest

How I hung my head in shame...........I have blurred the licence plates to protect the guilty.

Yeah, that's some serious tool-bag parking. Ow.

The one on the left isn't even a proper Volkswagen.

This is a fairly "high end" garage in downtown Toronto so there were all sorts of Porsches and some other good stuff, including an early Boxster, 997 and 991, along with M3's,an R8 and a i8 all of them managed to park between the lines (even the BMW's), but somehow not this pair.

My favorite part is how the baby Macan is parked kiiiiiinda in two spaces, while the mama Cayenne is like "NOW THIS IS HOW YOU DOMINATE THE PARKING LOT, YOUNG ONE."

That is nothing. In the ME, they do not even bother with the lines. They just pull up, park and get out. Straight, crooked, two spots who cares! But you have to be careful taking pictures of them acting badly. A lady in the UAE posted a picture of bad parking, blurred the license and she still got arrested and deported. https://www.khaleejtimes.com/nation/...-facebook-post

They may not get dinged by another door, but they definitely left enough room for a Chuck Norris round house.

Classic... can't manage to abide by simple rules yet go nuts when called out about it. Sounds like a very rational way of thinking.

Hey! If you saw what the sides of my P!g look like, you'd understand why I parked like that!






No I don't park like that and mine is blue, but it does seem to be a magnet for careless asshats that view other cars as their door stops

I will side with the owners of the vehicles, the signs on the wall say "reserved for" on all three spots so they can park in them how the please.

If it is a high end parking garage and has a fee for a parking spot, what if they paid for TWO parking spots and planned to park that way? Still not a good idea IMHO...people take all kinds exceptions to this without thinking it over.
