When my friends and I were in college we all drove clunkers. In today’s dollars the six cars would have a blue book value of about $3,000 combined. One of our friends had a “nice” car (seat belts, a radio that worked, and doors that opened from the inside and other amenities).
He would always park his car in the far corner of the lot and across as many spaces as possible. (Yeah, he was one of those kinds.) Then he’d try to get a seat in the restaurant by the window where he can keep an eye on his car. This was not always easy as we usually told the person seating us. “We are the advance of a party of 16. The rest are still parking their cars.”
It was like double-dating on steroids. Not that there were 8 couples: we had some single “hangers on.” If we could fit you in a car, you were invited.
It was difficult to tell whether my friend owned the car or the car owned him.

This must be an old one. How do you get out a restaurant for less than twenty for two?

Sounds like White Sox parking.
