Might not work, MrMyth - we don’t get snow here, and I’m the one that wrote the rant!

I think the record that I’ve seen is one longbed F-250 taking up five, count 'em, five normal-sized parking spaces on the top level of the Media City Center parking garage in Burbank.
I spent the rest of the night trying to figure out how I could possibly block five parking spaces with my little bitty Accord, and concluded that it wasn’t physically possible unless I took the car apart. Or left my 6’7" brother across a coupla spaces. 
With any luck then, maybe a Raider fan will kill a few Bucs fans for ya. And I only assume I’m joking.
As for the OP, couldn’t agree with ya more. I drive a truck myself. It’s not 4X4, since I don’t go off road much. It’s not the size of a tank, since I like getting more than 8 miles to the gallon. And it seems to work just fine.
Ever notice that the biggest trucks are never used as a truck? Most of the owners should just buy a regular sized vehicle and put a lift kit on their dick.
Ya know, I tried not to go there, Celtic, but I wholeheartily agree with this sentiment. But you do know that since you drive a regular sized non 4x4 truck, you just fried some logic circuits in certain posters.
For some people there is just no gray area.
Disclaimer: I also drive a regular sized truck.
I drive an extended cab F150. I don’t have a dick at all. What should I do then?
I also drive a non 4X4 truck, its a midsizes (Dakota) but still to big for compact slots. even though I’m in the great white north, lots of cold and snow, I don’t need a 4X4. it would be nice to have one, but not practical for my needs. at the mall here we have a car dealership in a storefront, lots of empty, close parking there because everyone wants to be close to the other stores. so I can park there. at work I usually park along the last row. as far as people forgeting where the lines are when it snows, you should come up here and see how the parking lanes move so that the light pole are in the middle of driving lanes. another reason to park in the back and walk the distance.
Years ago a friend of mine found that some dipshit had parked in the space next to her at enough of an angle that she couldn’t back her VW van (which was parked properly between the lines BTW) out of the space without having his rear bumper scrape her side. She examined the situation, and then realized that if she let the air out of one of his tires it would tilt his car just enough to let her get out safely. So she did.
Be very, very grateful? 
Motorcycles, think motorcycles…
Ooh! Oooh! I have one!
Big vehicles need to learn how to leave space not only in side to side parking situations, but also along the street situations. There is metered parking in front of my apartment building. There is one meter at the front of the big ass space, and one in the back. That does not mean park in the middle of the two meters. Because that means that I will have to park in between two meters. Which means 2 tickets on my car–one for each meter violation. (Yes, it should mean the same thing for the other person, but the meter guy never seems to catch the other person.)
Being the as courteous driver as I can be truck or Honda. I did have a big honkin’ Ext Cab 4X4 long bed Chevy with a 454, rumbling, nice sounding engine. I got about 18 on the highway and about 15 in the city… oh and that was miles per gallon, not feet.
Oh and I did go four wheeling and carried heavy loads of windows and other crap. Man I miss that truck.
Take that and your wimpy truck, and, and…
Oh and for the record, if I didn’t think my truck belonged in a particular parking spot, I wouldn’t park there. But I tell you I learned to drive my trucks with extreme precision, even for this 5’3" chick. I had to, construction sites can be pretty hairy to drive in with a little car let alone with a truck.
Night night.
Sounds like you need a bedliner, as opposed to a lift kit.
Marry me?
Esprix, if you could afford an SUV, instead of that beat up old Ford Escort, you’d understand!
Look, I’m just busting on you, bud. I drive a company Ford F250, and it is a major pain in the ass to try and park it in one of those small spaces, so most of the time I just park far off in the parking lot and take up 2 spaces far away from where anyone would really need them. It’s really not worth the hassle to save 50 feet of walking.
The only exceptions are when the parking lot is TOTALLY full, and I don’t have that option; it’s raining cats and dogs; or I am with my wife.
I’d be curious to know if the parking lot was already full when this happened. I mean . . . if it was, people with big vehicles have a right to park too. Now, if they did a piss poor job, then yeah, that’s a legit gripe.
I hear you on the SUV pulling right up next to you when you are trying to make a turn, brother. I’ve actually given a few people the bird for doing this. That is just plain inconsiderate.
Blocking people’s view, that is.
Hey not to hijack, but how about those fucking old ladies that sit there in the parking lot FOREVER waiting for that other person to pull out of their parking space that is right next to the store? Hey, Grandma- by the time you finally get your fucking spot, you could BE IN THE STORE BY NOW!:mad:
