Must be nice living in a country where cars aren't glorified.
Wow, there would be action? I’ve been thinking about doing this but police never follow up on things like that where I live
One of the busier streets near me has no street parking. I frequently see a car parked covering the entire sidewalk (and there’s no grass strip separating sidewalk from road), despite all the surrounding houses having driveway spaces open and there being a public lot at a park fairly close. The thing is there’s a hill running down to the sidewalk, so you really don’t have a stable place to walk. Every time I walk around on that hill or consider walking around in traffic, I’m just really frustrated at how much one narcissistic Parker impacts all the pedestrians attempting to walk by. And this is near a public park and an elementary school, so fairly busy
I try to do the same in my city but it's usually cops themselves that are parked on the sidewalk. I've seen people push strollers down the street because of them.
Thank you
Of course it's a Land Rover. Owners of these makes, along with BWM, Mercedes, Audi and Porsche are amongst the worse sociopathic drivers out there.
I dunno know why it's almost always these guys. Maybe it has something to do with the kind of people who seek prestige over anything else and will do whatever it takes to get it.
And Teslas.
Increasingly, yeah.
Wait, this is a community?
Oh boy, I'll have lots of material to share
Dude, you don't buy a Range Rover to park in puny parking spots, it has AWD for a reason
it has AWD for a reason
To make towing it more expensive?
Seems like a good way to get the shit keyed out of your rover.
You may not be likely to be caught, but please remember the cost of that damage approaches felony territory very quickly, and there are cameras everywhere. It’s just not worth it.
That would be a big glop of spit at the bare minimum. Fucking wanker.
Oh no, how are my keys suddenly in my hand while I pass this shitty SUV, I hope I don't accidentally scratch the paint
Bet you that they'd lose their shit if someone decided to use their vehicle as part of the foot path and just walk over the top of it.
Be a shame if someone with a pair of side cutters accidentally cut all of those valve stems on them tyres.
I dont want to be that guy but I'm gonna be that guy.
Dont fuck with peoples cars, not because they dont deserve it but because everything to do with them these days is SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE that its very easy to stray into serious charges territory by fucking with them. For example, under Florida law, you will face a felony charge if you vandalize property and the crime results in $1,000 worth of damage or more.
Now, can anyone tell me the dollar value of towing and replacing 4 valve stems plus a wheel allignment and balance on a Range? Does anyone know if the tyre pressure sensor is integrated into the valve stem? Does anyone want to find out the hard way and catch a felony charge over bad parking?
Yep, 100% agree. Plus you’re risking literal death if the owner is unhinged enough and catches you in the act.
It is a shame that with all this construction going on, you run into roofing nails everywhere though. Purchasable with cash and no trail at major outdoors supply stores and have a nice flat head that allows it to sit perfectly straight.
Just a real shame how easy it is to lose one of those! Well anyway I’ve finished bending down to tie my shoe and will continue on my day.
In a country like the Netherlands people like this will generally have all-risk insurance, and even then most normal insurance would also cover serious damage like this.
Unless you're under 18 this'd also go on your record and you have to pay a fine, making getting a job or anything else quite a lot harder for you from now on.
I take "Things people do when they arrive at the party pre-loaded with booze 100, please"
Drunk?
