A couple down the road from me have off street parking for both their mercs. But because a neighbour opposite occasionally had visitors who parked outside their house they went and bought a fiat panda, simply to deter anyone parking there.
I noticed the car and was kind of interested in it. When I bumped into them I asked about it and without the slightest shame told me why they’d bought it. They have absolutely no intention of using it, despite all their driving being on their own and really local. It’s the perfect car but it will never move except for trip to the mot centre once a year.
I wonder how common this is?
Reasonably common. Someone down my road has an old dihatsu thing outside his house to stop other people parking there. What's extra cunty is you could fit two cars in the space easily, and not everyone has driveways.
