Parking, Manhattan Style
I saw this yesterday morning down by the Battery Tunnel
Aside form the very patriotic tableaux of the Red, White and Blue vehicles you have 3 cars that are literally touching each other. The white SUV is completely hemmed in by the van from behind and the little sporty thing in front. This is another one of those life lessons that people all to often forget.

Damn, I’m glad I live way down here in the South.
What a crazy life.

Wow, I guess I’m too nice. I would have tried calling a towing company and seen if I could get one of those other cars towed. And failing that, I would have cried, written a nasty note and left it on their windshields, and then taken a taxi home.
(Actually – that is a good question – if you find yourself hemmed in can you legally call a towing company and request one of the offending cars be moved? Or are you just at the mercy of the a-hole parkers and have to wait until they return to their vehicle?)
Sure you can have them towed, Ricki – presuming that you are parked legally, and they are not.
The fun thing was the Bingley play-by-play via cell phone from his bus seat. “Holy sh*T!!!! The guy in the SUV is back!”
Yeah, as I was talking to Sis I forgot to use the camera…
