I thought I'd seen it all...

I really thought I'd seen all Italian parking options. Turns out I hadn't.

Yesterday I spotted this tiny Fiat 500 parked...on a crosswalk. It's hard to see because it's an evening shot, but there are actually two crosswalks perpendicular to each other. And the driver decided to leave his car in the middle of one of them.

While I stood there on the sidewalk, two police cars drove by. And no, they didn't even slow down. Maybe they were late for their coffee break...

I keep expecting hoards of clowns to jump out of that little car. Reminds me of the circus.

Ha! You're right, Alison! If you've ever seen the movie "Only You" with Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr., Marisa and her sister rent one of these cars in Italy, and it breaks down, of course. (Doesn't FIAT stand for "Fix it again, Tony" ??)
