I parked on a snow pile like that at a jewelry store while v-day shopping for the old lady the other day. I was alot more flexed than that. I was at the counter talking to one of the sales lady, when I heard the security guard on his phone talking about my jeep . Then I walked out and there were 4 people just standing on the sidewalk looking at it.

People like it because the majority of people stay between the lines and never break the rules. Even if it's not really rule breaking, it's different, and that gets people's attention.

Is this breaking the rules if you still park inside the real lines of the parking spot?

WERD, whats the point of having a vehicle if you're limited to compact, and cleared parking spots. My GF used to hate when I parked in the first spot in the supermarket where they would pile up snow, because she would have to fall out of my XJ like an extra 3 feet, not to mention that the groceries didnt like to stay in the trunk when loading. You know U got a keeper when you recommend she get an XJ as well and she says "I think thats a good idea, I like that you know how to fix everything on it." WOW, I know right!!! Gotta put a ring on it!!!
