Different town, same jackasses

When we lived in Binghamton, NY, our neighbor across the street was a real piece of work: loud-mouthed, beer-drinking, power-tool-blaring guy who apparently loved the Yankees. He loved the Yankees so much that he had this ridiculous sign prominently displayed on his garage door that said "Yankee Fans Only." I meant to blog about it back then, but could never get close enough to the house to take a photo of the sign, particularly since the guy seemed to constantly be standing in his front yard, smoking, using his myriad mind-blowingly-loud power tools, and/or generally yelling greetings to all the other neighbors.

So I had to laugh- hard- when we returned to our beloved Los Angeles and were greeted by this sign on my mother-in-law's street: "Ferrari Parking Only"! This sign, though, adds the extra-obnoxious wording, "All others will be scrapped." Yeah, because you'd definitely be too embarrassed to have, say, a Mercedes parked there. Scrap it!



Same jackass neighbor, apparently, but with fancier cars. I don't even know if he has a Ferrari. Maybe he just parks his other cars in such a way that it appears he's always waiting for the Ferrari to come home? Or maybe he thinks that if he puts up the sign, his wife will get the hint and buy him one for Christmas? Angelenos and their cars-that-cost-more-than-the-average-house in the rest of America. Too ridiculous.
