Back when YC had demo days at YC's office, rather than at a nearby museum with a parking lot, there were a lot of amazing cars street parked for blocks. And at least one highly lulzy incident involving an SL65 and an asshole machinist dragging it with a forklift into the middle of a street.

There's a guy on my street (SF) who does the same thing. It seems either insane or haughty to me.
