Move your steroid truck, sucka!

Genesee Park's least-favorite neighbor -- the big-assed, hauling truck -- is parked alongside the off-leash park area. Notice to the truck driver and the business operator: You and your Mark McGwire-sized vehicle are nuisances to the park.

Who are you, and why have you chosen the perimeter of the off-leash area along South Genesee Street to park your truck? Clearly, you don't live in front the park, so convenience and proximity to a residence or business are not at issue. Instead, you house your 10-foot-high truck in front of the park... and thereby inconveniencing the us the off-leash area users who have to park down the street.

We can't help but notice the truck barely looks operable. Consider Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) 11.72.500 (junk vehicles):

A. No person shall park a junk motor vehicle on a street, alley, or way open to the public, or on municipal or other city property.

B. Violation of subsection A is a Class 1 civil infraction s contemplated by Chapter 4.80 RCW for which there shall be a penalty of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250), which penalty shall not be suspended or deferred.

Fred G. Sanford's monster truck may receive a parking ticket.

As Aunt Esther used to say in Sanford and Son, "Better watch it, sucka."
