You should see my 67 GTO, it was considered "intermediate size". I think it's just over 18'.

How are large vehicles supposed to park within the lines? When traveling across country in a motorhome, are you forbidden from going to Walmart? Are you saying I shouldn’t take a trailer with me to the Home Depot?

When I’m in a semi, am I allowed to push some piece of shit four-wheeler out of the large vehicle spots at a rest area?

Notwithstanding means he's granting them an exception. I do the best I can when towing. I try to park in the boonies, side roads, etc.

I have heard your detailed complaint and added mobile apartments (it's not camping, or a camper if you have A/C) and trailers to the approved list.

But all 2 axle vehicles that aren't monster trucks should at least attempt to park in one spot. If, as the driver of one of the non-waivered vehicles, you put the center of your vehicle over the line between spaces, you are a douchenozzle.

Here and forever more, it has been decreed.

And yes, people key your car / back into it / etc, just to piss you off.

Not me personally, I just put you on the douchenozzle list - but it's no accident that it happens when you take your $75K vehicle to Walmart / Dollar General to get SWMBO tampons and PMS drugs.

No, but you can add them to the douchenozzle list and part your semi uncomfortably close to their doors, and bang them with the chain that keeps your wallet in your pants.

That is perfectly fine.

Depends, are they members and has the waiver been signed???

Equipment may be provide, leased, loaned, or acquired for said stacking of items, equipment, or vehicles on a "as available" basis.

Sometimes.
