    $80k can buy this truck, but it clearly can’t buy a lick of sense. Seen at the Far West HEB - dumbass tried to completely cut over the curb. Didn’t see the giant-ass boulder, and high-centered on it

And I'm going to need a ruling on 'left it running'

 

I think a murder is about to happen.

^^^ Weak.  Seems to be a trickle down effect (car next to him is on the line, too) and shitty parking space width contributing to the issue.

Yeah, I mean sure he's over the line, but there's no way he could park and be able to open his door.  Trickle Down would be the correct term.

 

Also, they could make those spots bigger.  Jesus.

If I'm that truck, I'm parking 1 spot to the right and leaking into the striped off area.

Yeah me too most likely.

Subtle...but will eventually annoy the shit out of someone.

Not sure I'd do that to a random asshole. There's a slight chance they could f'up, lose control and hurt somebody else. Zipties and shopping carts are a different story.

What is that?

Zipties? Shopping cart? Tell me more ... I usually just hock a lug on the driver's door handle.

Really? Lose control with weights? Well the shopping cart trick could also cause a problem if the lady was 9 months pregnant and needed to get to the hospital!!1!!!

If they can't park a car working perfectly, you think they will drive safely with out of balance tires?  Would hate for an innocent bystander to get hurt.

If the 9 month pregnant lady needed to get to the hospital she could take any of the other shopping carts in the lot.

LOL at a 2 ton vehicle being so affected by a few ounces of weights that it is impossible to drive.

I see someone's never experienced the death wobble... Or seen a car with their tire hopping as they're doing 55 down Mopac.  Shit can go south quick with a few ounces of properly placed weight.  

 

And you can always be a bigger dick, and put those weights on the driveshaft.

My father owned a tire store and I grew up mounting and balancing tires, and making recaps. I’ve seen just about everything. It takes more than a few weights to do any of that.

Yeah it would take a large amount of weights.  But being off balanced by a few ounces will make the ride bumpy over about 30 mph, and really bouncy and annoying.  It shouldn't hurt anyone, and the worst it would do is maybe mess up the alignment and have the tires go bald sooner in different spots on different tires.

i'd be more concerned with poorly applied weights flying off and hitting someone who's not a parking douchebag.

A tire hoping around is a suspension problem. Wheel balance is mostly minor vibration, ime.

Wheel balance is trivial, until you need to take evasive actions to avoid the dumb ass running across the street or car that turned in front of you.

wheel balance is to get around rim/tire balance at higher rates of speed typically 60+ mph (unless severe).  shocks/struts/brakes/good bushings/coils all come into play more during evasive maneuvers as described above - unless you speed through neighborhoods wheel balance isn't going to be that important and still marginal in your scenario.

Somebody at Tx Roadhouse thought a steak dinner was more important than the  missed  payment on their wheel and  tire package

You should cut him some slack. He only has 5 feet of clearance on the right side.

Admittedly, there's snow covering the lines, but I got there when there were only about 5 cars in the hospital parking lot.  My wife works there so I'm there quite a bit, and I know that there's a spot directly in front of the main door....which is where I'm parked, so I'm 99.9% certain I'm in a spot.  But even if I weren't, there's no reason for the fucktard to part so damn close to me.  If I were to turn front wheels to the left, they'd almost touch his bumper.

Chic-fil-a this morning, and on the front row. Took up 4 parking spots. Plenty of parking for trailers behind the back, but this asshole couldn't walk the extra distance. 307a4acc26a6fb5088abaa505f9a2d2d.jpg

I HATE that...same with them at Hotels. Most of the time they're parked real close to the front door taking up 4-5 spots instead of by the back.

It's just getting more and more painful to see in downtown Austin as more and more linear feet of public parking are being removed from the streets...that so many fucking people don't understand that when there's those two painted white brackets at either end of a "parking lane" along a downtown street.  If you're the first car or the last car, your wheels (or at least your bumpers) need to be just behind that bracket line.  It doesn't mean, you pull in there and stop 10 feet shy of it.  It means you hug that bracket line.  So that more cars can fit in that parking lane area.  I'm not talking about when specific spots are painted, but when the city just has one guide at front and one in back and then dozens of feet of empty space.  it's up to the first and last person to poisition their vehicles so that more of us can fit in there.  It would be very easy too for the city to add a sign that says, "Pull the fuck up" or "Back the fuck up"...and they'd make more revenue too with extra cars being able to park on the street.  But nope, one dipshit after another.

Hey now, his truck clearly says Platinum.

this was on my truck in college station at a chilis. there were about 40 open parking spots. my tire was partially on the line and there were about 15 open spots to my right. i admit the parking was not the best.. i am not proud. 

to be fair, i hardly ever get it in the hole.

Get a friend to park right in front of him and you park behind the trailer. Then go inside and eat lunch and surf surly for an hour or so .
He was smart. The curb/grass area was in front of him. He had to pull over the curb to leave. It was also wet so I'm sure he put nice ruts in their grass as well.
