An area shopper was forced to park his car across multiple parking spots recently. The driver, who declined to be identified, claimed to be worried that other, lesser vehicles would mar the shiny surface of his high performance Hummer H2, designed to kick the shit out of unruly suburban landscapes. Kaplan spotted the motorist before placing his book in both Martha's Bookstore and Zschoche on Orange County's Balboa Island. Noticing that the car took advantage of a neighboring handicap space, one resident commented, perhaps he's got a disability or something. I mean, other than driving that stupid car."
