This is not out in some rural town. This is in Portland, OR about 2 miles from downtown. Personal vehicles this large are simply incompatible with urban living and pressure their owners to continually break traffic law. Technically that Miata is parked as close to the stop sign as it can legally be, but as the Denali doesn’t fit in many places around here it’s owner is compelled to park across both the stop sign and the crosswalk.
Follow up: To whatever bootlicking idiot called PBOT and asked for enforcement on this block, it didn’t help. It made things worse just like I cautioned such actions do in the discussion below. They didn’t ticket the truck (Which was indeed parking in front of the stop sign this morning) but they did ticket just about every-other car parked on this street for non-street safety related things like parked wrong orientation, literal broken window, expired registration, etc. You probably cost my neighbors a few thousand dollars in combined citations for minor procedural issues, now everybody is miserable and the truck is still parked there. Please, never ever do that again. Your fantasy of calling law enforcement to fix all the problems is not what happens in real life. It doesn’t matter who they are, NEVER CALL THE COPS ON YOUR NEIGHBORS.
Luxury pickups are such a stupid class of vehicle.

The thing about America is that it’s full of loud, obnoxious assholes who do not take kindly to you if you point out the fact that they’re assholes (even subtly and without using that verbiage).
So nailed it, they get so mad for being told a simple truth that anyone can plainly see. Is it possible that inside their heads they’re the good guy? That simple reality enrages them?
I’m not 100% on board with the whole “fuck cars” thing but fuck that truck’s owner sideways.
Why does GMC Denali, the largest one, not simply eat the other one?

If your truck is that clean, you should not have a truck.
I know a guy who got seriously mad that kids drew hearts in the dust on his f350. Sir, if you are concerned about the paint on your vehicle being scratched, sell your truck and get a car.
I’m old enough to remember when trucks were tools and not fashion statements. It’s a completely bewildering experience to go to a modern dealership and see the cheapest truck be a $70,000 luxury minivan in a trenchcoat.
