Is the owners last name Walton? If so, he can park anywhere he wants and put on any (ugly) wheels he chooses.

Someone has poor taste, and should be slapped for taking four spaces.

Just because you win the loto, doesn't mean you get taste along with your millions.

ok, blast him for the rims but it's still a Rolls and the parking lot is pretty empty. No one is going to die from him taking up 4 spaces.... That's the least of the 'crimes' being committed in this picture.

No he can't. Owning the store doesn't mean you necesarily own the parking-lot with it. But oohpapi44 has a point. It's not going to make much difference in a virtually empty lot.

As far as the wheels go, it is dumb, IMO, to put oversized rims or tires on any car (not just a Rolls), as it can, and often does, give erroneous speedometer/odometer readings.

When I go to Walmart I park all the way in the back just so I can take up multiple spaces so a idiot won't ding my door.

ROFL, go easy on the guy, we've all had moments of insanity at some point.



Can't bring myself to even try to find a picture with them mounted.
