Is that a GRM bumper sticker I see on the XJ?

Love it!
I would have parked a little closer to the Vette.
Great pic.
Zooming in it appears to not be a GRM sticker.
New Jersey plate and hyw sign for Newark in the background.
Not close enough to the vette
Oldie but goodie, there was some back story to the pic too, IIRC they sat in the restaurant and watched the vette owner flip.
Now we just need some outlaw 1% biker to park his H-D in the remaining 1/2 spot, hangout smoking and flick butts on the hood of the Vette.
They should have pulled straight onto the curb and parked behind the vette.
Sweeeeeet!
Now someone on a big bagger needs to park real close on the other side.

+1. When I drove ratty 4x4 trucks, I was very good at parking so that line offenders would need to get in through their passenger door...

That was the one downfall of painting my beater truck. I can no longer screw with bad parkers because I had to care about my paint.
At least he wasn't a total dikwad and straddled two Handicapped spots.
What is it about driving a beater 4X4 and doing that. Of course, I did the same thing when I drove a beater 4X4 K5 Blazer.
My college was mostly a commuter school. We had on campus housing, but it was on the other side of the lake. So while it had enough spots for all the commuters to park, when the weather was lousy, all the people who lived on campus would drive too.
This made for way too many cars in too few spots.
One day, I came in and a brand new Camaro was taking up two of those precious spots. He left enough space for me to sneak my fiat in next to it.. so I did.
By the time I came out of classes, the Camaro had been destroyed, both mirrors, every light, and anything else that could be grabbed and ripped off had been...

Don't worry. The fat berkeley that drives that car probably isn't going to be able to get the door open wide enough to get in anyway.
Sure enough; Google up "Jeep vette parking" an you get a video interview with the Jeep owner from Sept of last year.

I'm very disappointed it wasn't one of you hooligans.
back in the summer of '91, when i was 16 and cruising around in a green Cordoba with red doors, i used to park next to a newer Corvette convertible at Wal Mart every time i went there... he always parked way out at the back of the lot, diagonally across 2 parking spots... at the time, i thought it was funny to park my POS next to him because why the hell not? one time, my friends got into the action and he had a beat up 78 Thunderbird and a rusty 76 Fury boxing in the other side and the rear of the car in addition to my Cordoba on the driver's side... that was the only time the Vette ever moved while we were there- he moved it to a different spot about 50 feet away. i found out a couple of years later that it was owned by the store manager and he was always pissed that I would park so close to his car and only ever spent our money playing the video games in the entryway to the store..
That reminds me...
I did a stint at one of the local offices for Global Evil (motto: "We beat good things to death") and there was a guy with a newer F-150 that would always straddle two spaces relatively close to the building. This was one of those places where parking was at a bit of a premium and it wasn't unusual to have every single parking place consumed. Pretty much every day, I would park my motorcycle in one of the half spots that remained next to his truck, usually right by the driver's door. And pretty much every day, I would pass him in the stairwell as I was going in to the office and he was on his way to move his truck to two other spots. Each time I'd greet him with the biggest smile I could muster and the cheeriest "good morning!" I could belt out. It almost made that hell-hole worth it.
I get wanting to prevent door dings. Parking across 2 spots is a bit much, but i don't care if they park way the berk away (thus further discouraging people next to them), but to park RIGHT up by the door AND take up 2 spots? That takes a special kind of shiny happy person.
I need to get the pictures off my phone and online. Any day I'm in at 7am there is a cayenne in "customer with child" parking taking up 2 spaces yet still sticking 3' into the lane. I've been tempted to walk past the guy "talking" on my phone about a poorly parked Porsche getting vandalized. Or the fun I could have with a beater truck.
I am disappointed in you all. Because someone is a jerk makes it ok for another person to be a jerk? Maybe I am getting old but I just can not condone what the jeep did in that photo. In fact he is the one on the sidewalk that should be getting a ticket.
Think mom with a stroller or a HC person. The jeep driver and there holler than though attitude gets me more annoyed than the Corvette owner.
