Default Jeep Owner Gets Last Laugh on Corvette Driver's Greedy Parking Job





http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dak1n0GZTRg



A New Jersey man got the last laugh on a Corvette driver who greedily took up two parking spots outside a Red Robin restaurant.



Instead of parking in the back of the crowded parking lot, Kyle DeMattia, 20, pulled his mud-covered Jeep partially onto the sidewalk, with the other part of his vehicle sharing a space with the sports car.



"The parking lot was packed except for a few spaces at the back and I could see people parking and walking by it in just plain annoyance," DeMattia told NJ Advance Media.



DeMattia scored a spot by the window and videotaped the Corvette driver's reaction, which has since garnered more than 1 million views on YouTube.



After the Corvette owner left, DeMattia said he was happy to move his Jeep and park it the way parking spaces are meant to be used.

I did that once with my Bronco, except did not leave enough room to get in at all. I was within the white lines of my parking space.

It would have been amazing if someone had parked on the other side effectively blocking him in.

But he was able to get in the driver's door anyways. Not close enough.
