I’m currently tiptoeing between two vendors on an issue related to What Version of Linux To Use (a Red Hat versus Slackware issue, and don’t get me started), but did want to note that my Flickr set about big cars in compact spaces made the Washington Post! (Registration required, I think…)
It’s so therapeutic to take these pictures, and so much safer than leaving messages on windshields. Oddly, no one ever writes to ask to have their pictures removed.
As for the car owner who claims the small cars take all the “big” spots: I have far too many pictures of SUVs in the spots nearest the front door of the local YMCA, or taking the nice shady spot, or the spot nearest the airport parking elevator, not to wrinkle my nose in contempt at that lame excuse. Do what we most of us do when parking spots are scarce: drive around and find one that forces you to walk a few more feet.

I don’t know why they even bother to have such signs/labels in parking lots. In the parking lot I park at to take my commuter bus, every single “compact” parking spot is occupied by an SUV, and usually the big SUVs (we are not talking the little SUV wannabes. We are talking Ford Explosions and Chevy Tahoes). Then again, it is Texas, maybe to them that IS compact. Maybe you should come take a look sometime. You could get plenty of pictures to add to your Flickr. What can I say, people have no shame. Best, and keep on blogging.
