Quadruple parking?

I usually take extra effort to find a parking spot that minimizes the chances of getting dinged, sapped, or bird bombed, but I still avoid taking up more than one spot. Obviously, that's just me, because this evening I saw a black, stock New Beetle taking up not one, not two... but four parking spots! It was parked smack dab in the middle--x marks the spot, as they say. I've seen cars taking up two spots, but this is the first time I remember seeing a car taking up four!
