Why would you even own a Veyron in the city anyway? It would be like owning an 80ft yacht to sail in the local swimming hole.

miss diminutive: Why would you even own a Veyron in the city anyway? It would be like owning an 80ft yacht to sail in the local swimming hole.

It's a Veyron. If you aren't on the Autobahn or a private track - the car is underutilized.

People who illegally park in handicapped spaces should be made handicapped. A tire iron to the knee will be a good start. Also, I'm surprised that this d-bag didn't take up 2 handicapped parking spaces with his car. I'm sure that he can afford it.

I refuse to believe this. Not possible.

Letting the air out of one of his tyres would probably have irritated this dude more than the citation.

jehovahs witness protection: Oh look, somebody "accidentally" scratched the whole side of pretty car with their key.

So, if someone damaged a car that costs that much, would that be felony-level vandalism?

They should have towed it. That would have been priceless! Either that or the citations should be based on a percentage of the sticker price of the vehicle.

In addition to that, they need to stop handing out handicapped placards to fatties. Make those fat bastards walk!

I thought they were more of dicks if anything.

DjangoStonereaver: Actually, the only thing more obnoxious than this would have been if it had an actual
handicapped tag.

THAT would be the height of douchebaggery.

So rich people can't be disabled?

/I know the point you were trying to make, but just sayin'...

Maybe it was the last spot open.

Yet another article to give the 99% a false sense of economic fairness. While the douchebag drives off in his million dollar car and files the ticket under "petty cash". "Oh, look! Lady Marie Antoinette got a bit of mud on her shoe! See? She's just like us!" Let somebody in a wheelchair from the Gulf war pour a gallon of gas over that monstrosity and light a match and then I'll get the warm and fuzzies.

Where does a Bugatti Veyron park?

/ANYWHERE IT DAMN WELL PLEASES

Could that article stroke the cars ego any harder?

/it came

Uh, maybe the reason they can afford the car in the first place is because they were disabled and sued the shiat out of some company.

You mean in England, being a possible "job creator" doesn't give you carte blanche to be a piece of shiat? Maybe the wrong country won that revolutionary war...

Too bad they don't have the Nordic system of levies, where you pay fines in proportion to your income for the year. In Norway, that parking ticket would have probably cost close to 100,000 quid.

Steve Jobs was well known to park in handicapped spaces. Link (new window) Admittedly most of the time it was on the Apple campus which isn't exactly public parking (although by law they are supposed to have the disabled accommodation).

That's the problems with fines in general -- they are a flat rate and while they can devastate someone already living on the edge (my brother-in-law had to actually run after meter maid car and lie down in front of it to plead to get a ticket reduced -- his car was worse less than the ticket), they are entirely unnoticeable to wealthier people. A fine is specifically meant to be a deterrent -- if it is negligible then it fails.

going back to my old junior high/highschool playbook on vandalism would have me putting catfish stink bait in the air induction cowl or some other spot that you can hardly find. Smell never goes away.

Welcome to modern America. If you have a good lawyer and a doctor on the take, you can be classified as permanently disabled and get all the good parking spots and never have to work.


/not that this is the case here

The acidic nature of salami destroys car paint. If you leave it on for a little bit, you'll wind up having perfectly circular spots of bare, paint-stripped metal where the salami once was.


Tx. I figured something along those lines, or maybe getting grease off paint was troublesome. Was going to try and save a little money just wiping some of the slices around and then eating the rest.

There's a guy at my office with MS. On most days he parks in the back of the lot so he can walk.

Fitzgerald: The rich are different than you and me.
Hemingway: Yes, they have more money.

/I know. They never really had that conversation.

Some countries in Europe have their traffic fines in proportion with the recipients income.

Tow the vehicle, after the tires had been popped.

Brake. Fluid. Super. Soaker.

I like to poop in the disabled toilets at work. It's like my own private executive bathroom. Does that make me a "douche"? I mean, yeah, I loosen all the screws on the handrails while I'm there but I don't think that makes me a douche.

I sat on one once.

Then I banged my head getting out.

I like the salami idea, I usually just rub mine on the door handle.

Instead of wasting time with a ticket and fine, cars illegally parked in handicapped spaces should be towed. If you want to stop such selfish behavior, then do something to get the attention of the assholes responsible.

Oh, I'd love to see you back that one up. Go ahead. I could use a laugh.

There's a guy at my office with MS. On most days he parks in the back of the lot so he can walk.

I've got the same thing (MS); I park relatively far away from my building, though I still make a point to park in the more expensive spaces just because I can, cause I may as well get something out of the MS. ($400/yr more to park in the "red" instead of the "yellow").

Supercars have amazing engineering and design, but are utterly pointless to own unless you take them to car shows and have regular access to a track. In fact it pretty much goes that way for any high performance vehicle. I'd love to have the new Boss 302 but all I'd do with it is go back and forth from work and run errands. It's a waste to not use all that power for anything.

Wellon Dowd: Letting the air out of one of his tyres would probably have irritated this dude more than the citation.

Nice try, but the Bugatti has "High-speed tyres with the PAX run-flat system developed by Michelin especially for the Veyron". Bugatti dude wins again.

RexTalionis: DjangoStonereaver: Actually, the only thing more obnoxious than this would have been if it had an actual

THAT would be the height of douchebaggery.

What if it was also parked horizontally across two handicap spaces?

Even better: Went to the movie theater one night and there was a shiny, new Mustang parked diagonally across all four handicapped spots (while roughly half of the lot towards the back was empty).

/first and only time I ever accidentally managed to scratch up the side of a car while getting out my pocketknife to trim a loose thread

Sat on one? Were you in a bikini at a car show?

Watch your heads, ladies!
