Car parties continue
This is not the first time we’ve seen reports of police trying to crack down on illegal social gatherings in cars in parking lots.

In addition to the possible Covid transmission, I am annoyed by the unnecessary car idling…
I’m not sure I get it, though. Wouldn’t it be far easier to just have people over to your house? If you’re already breaking the rules, why not go all in? I could see if it were extra-marital, but then it (likely) wouldn’t be a half-dozen cars. Is it teenagers who have nowhere indoors to illegally meet?

I think that these people have built their personhood around their cars so without them there isn’t much left.

Well, if they’re teens, they’re probably not wealthy enough to have built their personhood around a waterfront McMansion yet.
Give them time.

It could be possible to have a (shudder) responsibly distanced get-together in a parking lot. Noted UK- BBC – show did 5 episodes post-C, with the traditional in-hangar crowd parked 6+ feet apart. The previous report (on which I took Kate to task) was not about the meet in-and-of it self but rather the idiotic, stupid and dangerous driving antics that preceded / resulted from the meet.
Heck, in any car show that I have been to, participated in, witnessed, the cars are further apart from one another than when I park my car at the furthest spot at my local grocery.
That said, I would be interested to see what kind of cars were out in a Quebec-winter car show!
