Brand new TRX

He paid two trucks worth of money plus a $30K dealer markup for that so he gets two parking spaces. Duh!!

No picture, sadly.  But I'll describe it as best as I can.

At Yellowstone earlier this month.   If you are familiar, many of the attractions are off one of the highways; sometimes a small two lane road with no shoulders winds it way through some trees to a smallish parking lot.  The attraction I'm speaking of is the Artist Paintpots:

GAP_Artists_Paintpots_overview_2.jpg

 

We get to the exit, and traffic is backed up.  We are off the highway, but not moving.  Occasionally we move up 20 feet or so, then stop.  Minutes pass.  Few in front of us decide to do a U turn and leave.  Oddly, very few cars are leaving the attraction.  As we get closer, my wife notices some flashing lights through the trees, like you would see on a police car.

We move up some more, turn the last corner....and see what the issue is.  There was a minivan parked in one lane of the two lane road entering the parking lot.  Naturally, I gave some benefit of doubt (mechanical issue, something).  The lights were from two ranger vehicles.

Eventually, we made our way into the lot, but circled it a few times.  There were two rangers standing by the minivan, waiting.  Eventually, we see a family of 5 making their way towards the end of the lot and my wife speculates its the minivan family.  Sure enough, it was.  

I wish I had taken photos of the encounter, or just stood close by and listened in.  These rangers were pissed, and gave the man a citation.  There was an argument, but he wasn't even close to parking in a lot, or even onto a shoulder (of which there were cars that had done so along the parking lot, but there was no shoulder where he just shut off his damned minivan).  The parking lot was full, so he literally just decided to say fuck it, slam it in park and go spend half an hour or longer looking at an attraction.  No fucks given by him, but he got a ticket out of the deal.

Tits or no tits, that's a craptacular parking situation.

That's somebody (woman) who drove into the aisle going the wrong direction and swung into a parking spot without correcting their position.

One of my biggest pet peeves and then they stare you down as if you're the one going the wrong way.

Jagoffs that approach an intersection with a red light and decide to cut into and then haul ass across an adjoining parking lot so they don't have to stop.

It is always nice when the light turns green and you get to drive by them when they get hung up by traffic and you get to drive by them while they're stuck in the lot trying to get back out on the main lanes.

can only hope they were loading/unloading something heavy through those building doors?

Into the car with no storage space....but I agree it seems they backed up to load something.

Don't worry - that car will be outta there as soon as she realizes this isn't the 8-Liner convenience store she thought it was.

Artist's Paint Pots, not the Fountain Paint Pots.

Completely different attraction

Star marks approximate location of where van was parked.  He didn't bother to get onto the shoulder.

That’s about as useless a vehicle as a low rider dually truck. Absolutely asinine. 

Spoken like someone who's wife doesn't want to go to Whole Foods in style.

This guy was parked here on his phone when I pulled in. I filled up, checked my hair in the mirror, and he was still sitting there in his phone. No fucks given. (My hair looked great, BTW.)

I’ll see that and raise you the guy in the white car waiting in the shade for the dude in the blue car to show up and then white car guy hops in blue car guy’s rig and they then conduct business and white car guy goes back to his car with a tightly bound package of dubious origin. 

I’m sure this was legitimate commerce.
