Today seems to be the day of the passive agressive parking note. Here's the only note i've ever left. I was pretty pissed off. I mean, i paid a fair amount of money to have my own reserved spot at my apartment. But my biggest concern were the faux GXP badges slathered across what was otherwise a perfectly nice Pontiac G8 GT.

This used to drive me crazy, because I was forced to pay $50/mo for my stupid reserved spot under a chickenshit carport thing. I had to yell at some mexicans once. They didn't move.

Seriously? You caught them in the act and they didn't move? Wow. Blatant dick move.

You are much nicer than I. I just call the tow company.
Well that's not entirely true. It depends on how well marked the spot is. If it has a clear "Reserved Parking" sign, then I just call the tow company. If it's not that well marked I leave a note pretty much like yours, mince the clever GT comment.

I could easily easily hear their mexican music (I guess the type of music doesn't matter here, because I typically don't mind it) blasting from their apartment underneath me about once a week. Until late at night. So the parking thing was just one more thing. They're the reason I had to (read: wife made us) move. Sucks, because everything else about the apartment was fine...

I'm sure there are plenty of red zones or middle of the street spots available for them. You just need to help them find the right spot.

Why would someone even bother to fake badge their G8? Anyone who knows enough about cars to give a crap what the GXP badge means probably knows enough to know it's not actually a GXP, so he looks like an ass to even more people.

I recently saw a denali with a cadillac badge and an escalade badge next to it. They weren't even in the spot where it would be on a real escalade.
Who cares THAT much about their image? Seriously? Especially when it's a CLEAR fake.
Just like the tacky fake air vents all over shit cars.

I have the same awesome shears.
I've also left one note. It was just but I am still embarrassed about the force of my message.

Yeah, that was part of what was puzzling. Plus, its not like the G8 GT is a bad car by any means.
But i'm POSITIVE it was a fake, I made sure with internets and stuff, because I wasn't 100 percent sure at just a glance.

Yeah, it's well marked, but it was dark out. Plus i've been on the other side before.
A few years ago I was dating a girl that lived at an apartment complex. The first time i went to her house I was on the phone with her when I got there.
"So, where should I park, there's probably reserved parking and stuff"
"No, you can just park anywhere. Take any spot"
"Are you sure? Some of this parking is covered and some isn't. It kinda seems like you might have to pay more for covered parking"
"No, i'm sure. I park under the cover all the time"
"okay"
Four hours later I went out to my car to find that I had been parked completely in by the dude who's spot I'd stolen. Honestly just punishment, but i was pretty pissed as I had places to be.
Of course that was the same girl who once told me that she was happy i got my car with a stick because an automatic wouldn't do it justice. So its a mixed bag.

I parked my E21 on the street a few feet back from the sign that said "No Parking Here To Corner," so that I wouldn't block the walkway to the home I was parking in front of. A few days later, I went back to my car and found this note:
