Dunno Steve, I'm thinking you'll loose this one.  I mean suppose the 
foreward car was some big mother Esplanade or something else huge, a 
motor home or something, such that it is taking most of the space.  Are 
you going to insist that because it is a 'two-car' space you can park 
your minicoup or whatever, and block the guy's drive, just because maybe 
you can get your front nose over the line and into some fraction of the 
space?  Or what if 4 motor bikes were there?  Seems like you could park 
whatever you want as long as you don't violate the end markings, but if 
you can't fit your car in, however reasonable its size, then you just can't?
