ASSHOLE PARKING

Yeah. The locals always say, "Montana is full. I hear North Dakota is nice!"

 

Should have taken this from another angle. There is about ten feet from his bumper to a firelane curb where I was standing while taking this picture. No way a fire truck could get passed him. I saw him loading/unloading last night. It appears he left it like this over night.

This guy regularly parks covering the sidewalk too.

 

A call to your local police department on their non-emergency line with the guy's plate number and address might give a bored officer something to do at 3am...

 

Really hope the Civic parked after the Mustang, otherwise that Mustang is BEGGING the POS Honda to hit his door.

 

Pretty sure that's illegal in just about any state?

 

Yeah not sure he would qualify though. The curb isn't painted red technically as it was marked with no parking signs by the HOA for the purpose of being a firelane. Not actually sanctioned by the fire dept or county.

It's all good though. I called the guy and told him he had to move it. He said he "ran out of gas" and only had a couple more items to unload.

It's a private lot with parking by permit only. The HOA can tow him and his trailer if he keeps this up.

 

You don't need to have doors to be legal.

 

Your right but you do have to have a rear view mirror. And if you have no rear window (covered not missing) I'm sure that would be illegal.

 

I thought my wife's Honda Fit would fail inspection with her drivers side miirror missing, was told I only needed one.

Surprised California isn't more strict on that. My state is
