We generally try and avoid stereotyping. Just because someone drives a Buick, it doesn’t automatically mean that they’re elderly. I myself still have a ’93 Buick Century gradually decaying in the rainy weather of the North Coast of British Columbia, and I’m not that elderly. Well, not compared to Graverobber, anyhow.
In this case, however, we can’t help it. Take not of how artistically she has managed to take up two spaces with the bare minimum of overlap. This is not simply rudeness, or the art of being intentionally obnoxious. Such behaviour would be exemplified by evenly parking over the yellow line, or parking at a decisive angle. No, this is simply a driver who is oblivious.
Now, just think. This is the person who shares the highway with you. This is the person you are relying on to navigate the highways safely and effectively, and not put your life in danger, or worse, damage your project car.
We waited, just to see who the driver was. Sure enough, elderly octogenarian lady who could barely see over the steering wheel. We hate stereotyping, but sometimes it happens on its own.

Never park next to, behind, or in front of a vehicle such as this. My Mom's parade of vehicles exhibit remarkably similar battle wounds.

This reminds me of my elderly (and alcoholic) neighbor's Oldsmobuick. I came to appreciate plastic body panels by observing the gradual decline of that vehicle. When enough of the car had broken away such that the fenders no longer prevented the tires from launching flying debris, his adult son knew it was time to pull his license.

Do you guys substitute milk for white paint up there?
No wonder she couldn't fit between one site of lines, they're practically invisible.-
They were pretty obvious in person; you'd never know it from the photo, but there was definitely no difficulty in seeing them.

Tahburbalade actually appears to ba an Avalanche upon closer review.

All right, I'm definitely keeping my camera out. I can understand a slightly awkward angle, but come on, it's not hard to get between the lines.

Yikes. The older towns in KS are dotted with cars like this.

And yet truly interesting vehicles are nowhere to be found. Sad, isn't it?

Depends, how do you feel about the Toyota Camry?

Sadly, my stepfather suffers a similar ailment, and his once pristine C6 looks much the worse for it. I think I'd rather see this happen to Buicks.

There is noticeably a bundle to find out about this. I assume you made sure good factors in features also.

I started driving when K-Cars were still plentiful, which led to our crew's first rule of the road… don't follow the Chrysler, for exactly the reason you've described. As a result, my high school buds laugh at me to this day for owning a Dodge truck and Chrysler minivan.
