This is not out in some rural town. This is in Portland, OR about 2 miles from downtown. Personal vehicles this large are simply incompatible with urban living and pressure their owners to continually break traffic law. Technically that Miata is parked as close to the stop sign as it can legally be, but as the Denali doesn't fit in many places around here it's owner is compelled to park across both the stop sign and the crosswalk.
Without the Child killer 9000 to not be able to see anyone under 7 feet tall who might be in their path, how is Bob gonna take his kids to school?
Miata is always the answer.
In this case, the question would have been - which one of these cars would not survive an accident with the other?
Now imagine both on a highway and the Miata rear-ending the truck. In EU underride guards are mandatory, but in the US... I'm not sure.
Denali neighbor must have a small dick.
You could ALMOST Christmas Vacation that Miata under the Denali.
One of my coworkers has something like this, big ass 150 thats bigger than our parking spaces that fit 12 seater vans. He's got 4 kids, lives in town and regularly complains about struggling to pay bills. No shit dumbass all your money is tied up in liabilities and he takes any excuse to skip work he can get.
I just wish we could return late 1800 transportation methods.. like soo roads are obnoxiously too long.
I'm glad we don't have horse crap everywhere. Thats disgusting and a health risk.
I bet PPB doesn't mind, if they were called about it they'd be like high fiving the owner like "hell yeah brother that's how we do it in Battle Ground fuck these Portland libs!"
Why isn't he compelled to park down a mineshaft? Lots of room down there.
If it’s any consolation I’m pretty sure the GMC Denali engines are straight up killing themselves for no reason, so the owner is probably due for some karma.
