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.

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.

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.

Denali neighbor must have a small dick.

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.

But can you fit four 200kg people in the Miata?

Trucks parked like that are just begging for some good keying

Lentils may well be helpful in this situation also.
