    Now that we have been sort of avoiding the direct answer, guess it’s time to tell the truth.

    Yes, we park all crooked on purpose.
    We do this for a few reasons, one primary is to keep refers from parking next to us.

    look at his rear axles, those split axles you cant just make a sharp turn with those. most likely he was comfortable with the spot he chose, when the lot was full. who knows, I think it had to do with those axles.
