Scottsdale PD will still ticket people for parking in handicapped spots and incorrectly, I've watched them do it to a Boxster .

Is that Alexander Haig's car? I always wondered what happened to him after he took charge of the US.

Really? My wife would love to do that. One of her biggest dreams is to report expired license plates on a commission basis. I have no idea why that particular issue bothers her so much

If that's her biggest "fault", you are a blessed man.

Organisers often direct people where and how to park (so it may not be the owners choice), and people will tend to take up more space in order to allow the public more room to view their vehicles. There is usually more people walking around vehicles then under normal parking scenarios, so more space is required to 1) allow the audience a better look at the vehicle and 2) to insure cars don't get scratched.

Just my opinion. I have know to be wrong.

This isn't "organized" though. You just come and park. I could park my Z next to him if I got there early enough (and have before. P1, GTR, Z ).

Fair enough. Whenever I am wrong, it is usually due to lack of complete information.

I figured you thought this was some organized type of event. It's just a park wherever and gawk at cars you can't afford or (for the rich ppl) you have parked at your garage at home, because you can only drive one baller car at a time.

I have to swear an oath that I do not accept any money or benefits in order to participate in this program.

I don't do it for my own satisfaction of writing tickets. I'm extremely knowledgeable in the accessibility code, and I have joined to be a resource for the county and other volunteers in case they have questions.

Not sure where I saw this, I believe it was on here.

Some scientists discovered why people park their cars next to others when there are many spaces available elswhere.

I remember it had to do with the herring or some kind of fish experiment. They basically put the fish in a bowl full of water and put something on the outside of it, they all went and parked themselves near it. Was interesting but cannot locate it.

I call it "the herd mentality".

It is most prevalent in well to do countries (like Canada and US), where people do not have to fend for themselves for survival.

Parked on a yellow line which is illegel. The thieves also had common courtesy to steal his rims using 4 scissor jacks and not bricks - that was nice of them.

[JARblue]

They probably stole the scissors jacks too
