Corvette hogs 2 parking spots, so Jeep driver gets even

Who hasn't gotten ticked seeing some jerk hogging two parking spots?

It's one thing if the spaces are at the far end of the lot. But when a Corvette angled across two slots near the front door to a Red Robin, a harried Jeep owner decided to teach the other driver a lesson.

Kyle DeMattia, 20, of Clinton, N.J., wedged his transport (which bears the words "Zombie Response Vehicle") in annoyingly close, leaving two wheels on the curb.

After he posted a photo on Reddit, and a video on YouTube, sympathetic drivers everywhere were feeling a little vicarious revenge.

"I was stuck in traffic for 2 hours here in NJ and when I got to where I wanted to eat I saw this in a semi-busy parking lot," DeMattia explained on Reddit. "I figured I'd do this because I wasn't taking up two spaces and f--- people like this. The reaction on his face when he got laughed at going in his car was priceless."

"Moved it right after he left," DeMattia added. "Nissan Xterra pulled in after and nearly hit my mirror with their door."

The YouTube video had more than 1.5 million views as of Thursday morning.
