I pulled into a Walgreen's sort of weirdly to back up into a good parking spot while also offloading my wife when a Vantage pulled up and had to wait a few seconds for me. I parked, he parked on the other side of the corner, also backing in, which is proper.
I opened my door in preparation of talking to another Automobile Enthusiast, and stood up. Dude didn't leave his car, but an old (85+?) lady in a frikkin' AMG pulled in forward right next to him, like less than a foot from his door.
I figured, Vantage dude would pull out and into one of the other clear spots, as there were many. Nope. Many seconds later he got out, so I slllooowwlly started making my way towards him for conversation.
Nope, he kept his head down and skedaddled into the store.
Well, fine then. Guess he wasn't in the mood. Or was busy. Or was intimidated by an XKR. Or was just a jerk.
We will never know.
@mosesbotbol , do you avoid people when you are out in a Rapide?

 

Idk about you, but i use the crap out of my cars. When I'm sick, tired, angry, etc. He might have just been on a mission!

 

Probably had Covid-19, and didn’t want to give it to you. He was being polite. Or then, maybe not...

 

Yep, another casualty of COVID-19. The owner lost his job and that driver was the repo guy! Why else would he let anyone park so close?

 

I never avoid a chance to talk cars. I don't go crazy looking for parking spaces. In the end it just makes the inevitable heartbreak even bigger when something happens after so much effort to avoid it. I like to talk about other people's cars too. It could be something cheap & neat is as much interest to me as expensive and rare.

The Evora a few times I waited before getting to the car. There could a crowd of kids looking at it at the mall or something. I don't know if they're waiting to rob me or give me a high five. Aston blends in unless you're a car guy/gal.

 

Aston drivers are cool, they just don't particularly like talking to peasants in Jags

 

that woman is why i quadruple-park at the back of the lot when i go to the grocery store.

 

HA, HA, HA! Touche'

 

He's probably tired of explaining if his was a new Aston-alike-Genesis or a real Aston. Poor guy.

 

In all seriousness, some of us are just introverts and it has nothing to do with the car we drive. Just sayin'.

 

That is flippin awesome.
My first borns former girlfriend called or family "rag a muffins".
That was the only intelligent thing she said.
