After looking at onzedge's pic I wonder if it would have helped to carry a couple of traffic cones in the Z to place on the white lines.

I also agree with CoolToy's analysis. Maybe in the same way people are conditioned - you can take advantage of latent traffic cone conditioning which generally indicates some form of warning and shake them back into a degree of situational awareness.

Based on the photos I have seen here I am probably just being overly optimistic - chaos will always return to chaos. ha ha.

That is awesome!! ... except for the fact that it looks like he's actually leaning against the paint

I think he should be hiding in some bushes or up in a tree and nail people that come too close including cars that try to park next to it

Would not be good for the idiot in the Nissan. He'd have a very long gouge on the passenger side from my church key....

Saw this great parking fiasco as I returned from lunch. Appears that it was the Honda that started all of this. Gotta love the squeeze in by the smart car.

Actually, it looks like the Lexus to the left of the Honda started the mess...
