J/K. Okay maybe not.

But as easy is it is to judge, it's even easier to be wrong about someone. One of my cars got totalled and I had to drive a family member's spare beat up old Buick to work a few times. Strangers who saw me thought that was my car. But it wasn't (thank god).

That being said, how people park and drive is fair game for judging. It goes along with the idea that you can judge someone's character based on how they act when they think no one is looking. No one feels watched when they're parking their car. So if they park like a jerk, most of the time they are a jerk.

I disagree with this as well. I know plenty of people who are super nice people, but can't drive worth a crap.

It's also worth noting, we're a community of car nuts here. We like cars. But there is a huge number of people who see cars only as a means of conveyance and could not care less about them. Doesn't make them bad people.

People who can't drive worth a crap should take public transportation. I don't want my children dead in a car crash because someone who can't drive worth a crap is behind the wheel.

In a perfect world, sure.

Sorry, but I have to comment on this too. It depends on the situation.

I couldn't care less about having a perfect lawn. Yet my neighbor is out in his lawn several times a week maintaining perfection. I don't understand it, but I recognize it, and I'd never let my dog pee on his lawn. I never even let my kids walk on it.

People who don't care about cars know there are some people who do, and when they see a spotless Z, they aren't blind. So when they park crooked or really close or ding it, that's just like me letting my dog pee on my neighbor's perfect lawn.

I was actually being logical.

I never judge people based on their looks and much less on their cars but driving and parking are behavioral so it has nothing to do with their possessions.

Just like people can be nice sometimes, they can also be azzholes and it shows when they're driving and parking.

Just saying, crappy parker does not equal horrible criminal person. It's just some inconsiderate jackazz. But that doesn't mean that their whole life is terrible. They could give to charity, etc, etc.

@ that right there. Someone who supports charities and what-not are very unlikely to be inconsiderate behind the wheel or in person.

I'm a betch, so it shows when I drive AND when I park.. reversed... and in the very last spot... away from the commoners

Again, generalizations.

I'm done fighting uphill battles on this one. Fine, you guys win, everyone who is poor and/or lazy is therefore a bad person and should be ostracized from society.

I can't completely agree with this. Sure there are nice ppl who simply CAN'T drive, but if those ppl are indeed "nice", they should know better to be a polite drivers. Everybody knows "tailgating", "cutting w/out signal" and "denting others' car doors" are not polite. It's common sense.

Madison is full of these people. Everyone here is super nice on the ground, but in a car, they will wreck you shiz just to make the light.
