Ah, that illustrious first parking spot.

Certainly worth arriving early for. 

 I'll just park my classic '40 Ford in the second stall..

... and the late arrivals can line up on - BANG!!!!

 (the late arrival)

  

What on God's green earth could have caused this...?

(HINT #1 & HINT #2)

Hey, wasn't that Pontiac in the FIRST parking space??

(What on God's green earth could have caused this Hint #3)

Unbelievable the driver lived

through the entire ordeal!
