Yesterday (Sunday) I was down in Newport Beach at a nearby shopping center (the one with the Gelsons and Sur La Table and Peets near Fashion Island, for the locals) and I spotted a ST Elise with a hardtop. The driver and his passenger were driving up and down, and up and down, the aisles, looking for the perfect spot. The parking lot was moderately crowded, and as usual there were lots of large SUVs, so I could totally relate.
As I watched, I thought "this will be me in a few months!" Actually I'm really anal as it is, with my Miata, so I don't think it will really be that different. Just a few minutes earlier I had snagged an excellent spot on the end of an aisle, with a raised landscaped island on one side (which allowed me to hug that side), leaving plenty of margin between my priceless Miata and the Bentley Continental GT next to it ...
You just can't trust those Bentley drivers, they can be so very careless 
P.S. And no, I didn't chase down the Elise driver, or even approach them in any way. I didn't want to further solidify my "stalker" rep. :no:
