The things that make this city so lovable—the bikinis, the parties, the
laid-back essence—are also what make it a parking nightmare.
The world's funny like that.
And up until now, you had no recourse when some unskillful/oblivious wanker decided to take up three spots
with his GMC Denali.
But all that changes today—get ready to take matters into your own hands. Introducing Shinebox
Parking Tickets, your new booklet of carefully worded scoldings, helping you call out Miami's worst
parking offenders.
Consider these clever missives the postcard form of flipping someone the bird. If you've ever taken a look
at someecards.com, these feel a lot like that—there's everything from the sarcastic ("Maybe a GPS
system could've helped you find the middle of this parking spot") to the threatening ("It was either this or
put a crowbar through your windshield") to the probably-in-poor-taste ("Is your name Katrina? Because this
parking job's a disaster").
If you're thinking what we're thinking, we could also see you using these in a more productive capacity.
Let's say one of those bikini-clad beachgoers parks her Audi a bit off-center. Rather than slipping one of
these cards under her windshield, deliver it to her in person along with a charming smile and an offer to
help her with her technique.
Her parking technique, that is.
