You see a beautiful car parked away from all the other vehicles..

Its not a matter of being "full of one's self" more than it is when you drive a car that retails for $60-$80k, and its brand new and all shiny, you know that is the type of car a lot of people wish they could drive. When a lot of people wish they could have something they can't, they get jealous. Its basic human nature.

I'm honestly curious on this one. Why would you go to the trouble of harassing someone who is parked normally, just far out to avoid accidents?

Yes, they absolutely do it out of jealousy. When I worked for Benz it was pretty much a guarantee it was going to get keyed within the first 6 months you had it. We (employees) had a special coverage option to cover jealous assholes keying our cars. And its not like we were out on the town acting like rich pretentious assholes either, most of us made under $35k a year.

BUt you dont know those people, you dont know what that car means to them, you dont know what they did to get it.

How do you know they didnt scrimp and save for 20 years to get that car? Or that it was a gift or special treasure from someone? Why would they be assholes for wanting to do what they can to keep their treasure safe?

My mustang wasnt fancy, it wasnt all decked out, but it was MY baby, and one of my dream cars and I loved it. And the fact that jerks would intentionally go out of their way to damage a car that didnt belong to them, nor did they know who I was or what the car was to me is infuriating. Anyone has the right to park out in the back 40 to protect whats important to them, NO ONE has the right to damage it. It's not any different than seeing Trips beemer out in the parking lot and pushing it over just because I dont like it or wish I had one.

I disagree. Not personally knowing him, but making a judgement call based on his internet postings, I think it is acceptable.

True.

And true. But it was more for example's sake. I could have used Azoom and one of her Ducati's or something, same difference.

How is parking next to someone the same as knocking their bike over?

Parking next to someone with the intent of either intentionally or unintentionally damaging their vehicle. Like previously mentioned, parking so close they are forced to touch your vehicle to get into their own, etc. You may not like the analogy, but morally it's the same thing.

Parking next to them just to irritate but not actually interfering with their vehicle is not the same thing obviously.

They don't have to damage vehicles if you park close to them, they can straddle across from the passenger side or wait for the person to return that trapped them.

Intentionally damaging a motorcycle /= parking close to someone

You have a fucked up sense of justice if you believe that.

It would be more related to trapping a motorcycling so it couldn't leave the parking lot without rubbing up against the car trapping it.

You are also relating no damage (you can touch paint softly and not leave a mark) vs potentially thousands of dollars in damage.

I think it's hilarious that some of you would park beside a car in the back out of spite. However douches that take 2 spots deserve whatever spiteful people dish out. Like AL I try to park with one side to a curb to restrict parking lot asswipes that just want to hassle me.
