I stopped at the 99-Cents-Only Store today. When I came out there was a
Boxster in the parking lot -- taking up two spaces, of course.

Did you key it? :)

If your maneuver forces another driver WHO HAS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY

I do. The lot might have lots of empty spaces when you arrive, but it
might fill up after you park. Happens every day at places like
Disneyland.

The irony is that it does not protect their vehicle, but rather
exposes it to additional harm. There are already bitter, jealous
people who will vandalize your car simply because it is nicer than
theirs; if you draw attention to your nice car by arrogantly parking
it in more than one space, you make it even more likely that one of
these disturbed people will victimze you.

Of course, if it is at the 99-cent store, they are rich because they
are cheap! Oh sorry mcf-l, I mean frugal.

That seems like a possibility, but I would have to question why anybody with
enough brains to be frugal/cheap would be dumb enough to invest serious money
in such a car and then park it in a bad neighborhood (yeah, this store IS in a
relatively bad neighborhood) where somebody might key it or pee on it or steal
it. Suppose somebody who knows the owner stole it and then parked it there to
get even with him?
People who look down on the 99-Cents-Only Store are hopeless posers!
