Default Million dollar Kia?

So I drive to the local grocery store, where I always park my Gen 5 as far out as possible (you know, to get...exercise), and I look over and see a Kia Spectra station wagon taking up not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 (yes 4) stalls, kinda like 4 Corners USA.

I had to do a double take just to make sure this car wasn't some weird "Bentley-Continental-compact-luxury-estate" or similar ritzy car - Nope, it was a Kia. Spectra. Not an Amanti (which is actually a beautiful car) or even an Optima. At least it wasn't a Rio.

Okay, first of all, if you're so concerned about getting a scratch, then leave the Kia at home and shell out $500.00 for a grocery-store-beater. Second of all, you're not driving a numbers matching AAR Cuda or a Boss 302 - it's a Kia Spectra. Third of all, do you hire a Secret Service detail for Kate Gosselin? Um, no.

To be fair, at least this guy (or gal) will never park 2 inches from my driver's door. That would genuinely **** me off. Taking up 4 stalls merely annoys/amuses me.

Maybe that person is on the Kia forum right now complaining how this guy in a monte carlo was looking at the way he or she parked.

So there I was leaving the grocery store and saw a guy getting out of a 90s model 2dr lumina... or something like that. And he was staring at my parking job. I take lots of pride in my little kia... its my first new car (and you know how it is to not wanna scratch it) this guy started giggling as he was walking in... jerk I mean, what makes his car so important to park it so far out... did he need excercise or something?

KIA stands for Killed In Action. They probably park that far out because the body in made outta recycled Reynolds wrap. I do weigh 225 lbs. & I leaned on one to talk to someone & coincidentally I dented it !! OOOOoooops ! BaaaaHAHAHAH !

I'm dyin' here!

Dude probably only had liability and realized if it gets totaled, insurance is only gonna shell out some pocket change for it.

If you wanna get me going, park your wrong rimmed, primer bodied ricer sideways like you're showing it. Really guy? Douchecanoes.

I'm a noob to forums, glad to see a sense of humor.
