Ahem--regarding that last, I'm afraid I'll have to deny *categorically* any and all totally baseless allegations regarding a certain hired Ford Festiva and the 14 km mountain road leading to the SnowFarm xc ski area in Wanaka, New Zealand.[1]
[1]But I would recommend a) all-wheel drive and ABS or b) better yet, just getting a van ride up there.
I was just thinking the other day that we have entered the season of ambiguous parking. It's really hard with snow obscured parking lines to know where to park so I have a bit more sympathy for issues like this. Clearly there is no snow on the ground in this photo though and the lines are very very clear.
Also I'm not so uptight about this as I am about lateral violations when someone takes up two parking places or just parks a foot over the line making creating a chain effect parking screwage.

Should send that photo to AAB, sure they would be happy to know their loaners are treated so right.

This time of year sure brings the idiots out onto the road. The bank teller and I had a good rant about this yesterday. Dolts.

This was taken some time ago, actually, but thought it retained some entertainment value.

Brings a quote to mind:
