Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Definitely Adam Brody. Russell can brawl and Orlando can use weapons. DEFINITELY Adam.
I was going to suggest a chick list with Halle on it, but I think she'd make a lovely sacrifice/alternate hostage.

Apparently she's a genetic freak.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Actually, this is not true. Having just had to deal with a bunch pf inspectors when the company put in our parking lot, I can tell you that "compact" spaces are marked that way only because the length of a larger car would make the driving lane too small and that's why you notice them near the ends of lanes or near poles or whatever. A place only has to put a "compact" sign on spaces which fall under the limit, and you can have an entire lot with no compact spaces in it, like a lot of older lots--so in that case compact cars would have nowhere to park if they looked for labels. Anyone can park anywhere, but bigger cars are supposed to avoid parking in areas which make it dangerous. However, real estate is expensive and business owners are cheap, so they try to finagle as many spaces into each lot as they can, which means more compact only spots and a harder time for big cars.
I get ya. When I worked for the Hellhole of Suckage, we had the same thing. When there's no labeling - free for all. If there *are* labels, though, it should be common courtesy to try to adhere to them. Especially at the MTA lots. I'm tired of getting dirty notes on my windshield for parking in a compact space when that's my only choice, and I can count at least 20+ true compact cars in regular sized spaces.

What the hell is a true compact car (apart from sportscars and those sneaky Kias)? I would have put the Jetta on the list, except I've parked in compact spots and they're really not roomy.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Shouldn't there be labels for Humvees and such? I hate it when I park and come out to my normal car and find I am sandwiched between a Hummer and a Suburban.
AND WHO NAMES A CAR AFTER A BLOWJOB? The next edition of Hummers should be called Jizz Splooges or something.

I mostly see the sports cars, Escorts, Festivas, etc. As for true compact, I'm not sure what the definition is except for what rental car companies say.
