Parking isn't all that hard. By using the steering wheel, you can deftly place a car between the two painted lines on the pavement, leaving adequate room on each side for other people to park.

Or, alternatively, you can just ignore the lines and park wherever you damn well please like these three BMW drivers.

These BMWs (why does it always seem to be BMWs?) were seen outside a Casual Male in Virginia this morning. We aren't sure which was the first one there. Maybe they all arrived at the same time?

Perhaps they were all in such a rush to purchase reasonably priced casual clothing that they couldn't be bothered by parking in a space at all.

Or maybe they're just huge asshats. One or the other.

(Hat Tip to Matthew!)


judging by distance apart from each other, I'd say the middle one was first. the second, in blatent disregard for space for the other driver to enter their parked car, would be the white one most likely, followed by the car on the right who wants to stay out of it.

Yanks....=))
Those of us who bought BMWs because of our love of cars and nearly-flawless driving mechanics just hang our heads in shame at the antics of the other 80% of BMW owners.

(hint: you can usually tell which is which by the presence of a manual stick)

I see your 3 BMWs and raise you 1 BMW on top of 3 Cadlliacs:

The one on the right is parked correctly, nobody is going to "door" the side of my car.

When parking, think out of the box............




If you can't park around them, park OVER them..............

Obviously this is a worldwide phenomenon, however, in the uk we have these other annoying things called Vauxhall Corsas. These vehicles are popular with the terminally stupid, who will generally park right up against your door, and dent it without a second thought. Hence the reason many beemer and especially Audi drivers park like this.

this was taken this week by me outside my mates garage. The result of a drunk driver "parking" his tatty old fiesta.

The X3 has just had an engine rebuild after a timing chain failure. Finished and awaiting collection. The scooby has just had its engine lifted for a rebuild.

X3 is scrap, Scooby tbc. Thankfully the drunk was insured, but it was 2 phone calls my mate could have done without!
