What would you do if this happened to you?
A great day in San Diego and I took my 430 Spider to a large electronic discount store. It has a huge parking lot and it being Monday there were very few cars in the lot.
Nevertheless, as it is my habit, I parked my car far from the store in a spot totally isolated from anything else. After shopping in the store for a half hour, I returned to my car and this is what I found.
A pickup truck raised with large tires effectively blocking my entrance to the drivers door. He was so close I could not slide my body in to even access the door.As a result, I had to gain entry from the passenger side.
Mind you there was absolutely no reason to park next to me since there had to be close to 100 spaces closer to the store.This was a deliberate act done to be malicious.
I had to respond to redress this flagrant act. Rather than keep you in suspense I will tell you what I did.
From experience I know that Ferrari exhaust will set off car alarms particularly in a garage environment. The exhaust can do it to cars sitting outside if the Ferrari is close enough. Well you can guess as to what I did.
I started the Ferrari and gun it a few times and the truck lite up like it was the 1812 overture. Lights, horn, whistles and other sounds exploded into the parking lot.
It was a JOY to watch and experience this truck making all that noise in the parking lot. I hung around (I move away from the parking spot) for few minutes hoping the owner would come running out but no such luck. As I left the lot, the truck was still wailing.
Maybe he will learn his lesson the next time envy over takes him.
