lol, the last time i went to an restaurant down in the bay area. the parking lot was fairly packed and no parking space were to be found anywhere. i saw 4 cars just parked in random places hoping to not get a ticket. then i walked up to the restaurant, one ferrari and one lambo were both parked like that in the picture. and they were occupying 4 disabled spaces

niiice shame it isn't red though... red is the best ferrari colour imo, black blends it in too much - and you don't buy a ferrari to blend in!

It's OK for the Ferrari, it's not OK for your 335i.

heh, agreed. for all i know, the ferrari has the right to park perpendicular to parking lines, if it so wishes. i'd still look at the car, not how it's parked.

You guys are the reason why celebs never go to jail....

just because they are famous don't mean they can get away with murder and shit...

a Ferrari is a car, just like our BMWs, and a Celeb, despite being famous and rich, their shit smell just as bad as ours...no need to segregate

Nope

Fixing a door ding on a Ferrari is somewhat (insert sarcasm here) more expensive than fixing one on a BMW. There is absolutely a need to segregate.

I agree there is nothing wrong with taking up more than one space if the lot is quite empty... I did that before when I had my 355 Spider lol

You should park really close to the Ferrari and piss him off

You guys are really throwing around and abusing the word "right"...what gives anyone an actual "right" to take up multiple spots because they drive an expensive car? It's a word with a clearly defined legal definition, and I'd bet a lot of money you won't find a law stating you can park however the fuck you want if you drive an F430.

I agree it really doesn't matter if it's in a lot with plenty of spaces and the guy wants to park far away, but in my opinion, if you park like that, you really are just egging on anyone with a tendency to harm your car, to do so. I know a few people who would love park their shitboxes 2 inches away from that car just to make a point.
