The way these imported cars are parked and driven don't really seem to indicate any masochism. The drivers mostly seem to make their oversized car everyone else's problem, not taking lanes too seriously, double parking by default, and of course blocking both the road and the sidewalk with the overhang of their trucks.
There are a few such imported cars in my neighborhood and seeing them makes me grateful that I have an underground parking spot.
They're not the only ones to double park, but the only ones to exclusively double park.
