After a photo was posted of the wonky parking, social media users were quick to criticise the driver of the £200,000 Lamborghini Huracan.
It led users to label the driver entitled and selfish, with a post on Spotted Torquay reading: "Have Lamborghini so will park however and wherever I like, even if that means depriving a disabled person of a space."
Commenters criticised the poor parking, with one writing: "Parking like that will get him a ticket."
Others mocked the driver for having more money than sense, as one said: "If you're rich enough, a fine is just how much it costs to park somewhere."

Most of the comments, however, seemed to empathise with the driver.
One wrote: "If you owned a Lamborghini I bet you would park it there also rather than risking a battered old Nissan Micra opening its side door with a pensioner taking a chunk totally obliviously out of your side door."
Other commenters shared a similar sentiment, writing: "They'd rather risk the fine than park next to people that don't give a toss about ramming their door into your car!"
The post also gave locals the opportunity to complain about the car park itself, blaming the narrow spaces for the problems.

A Facebook comment reads: "Don't blame them... not your every day mundane car... parking spaces are too small these days anyway..."

Another took the opportunity to back up their comment with statistics, stating that the average parking space is 2.4 metres wide while the similar-sized Lamborghini Aventador's width is 2.03 metres.
The driver had the opportunity to get the last laugh, however, after he submitted a photo posed in front of the car showing off his blue badge and prosthetic leg.

The updated photo was captioned: "A picture for all my fans."
Users praised the driver's good sense of humour, with one commenting: "Fair play to the owner and also to have a good sense of humour."
The original poster added that "I did ask if there was a blue badge. Almost didn't post but I'm kind of glad I did because this is a cracking pic, got to be a top 5 of all time."
They added: "Turns out the dash isn't great for blue card placement and sometimes slips down. I have apologised for posting."

Comments rushed to defend the driver, with one saying: "Exactly why people shouldn't jump to conclusions! A lot of it was jealously over the car rather than the parking."
Angry commenters were urged to apologise for assuming that a disabled person couldn't drive a Lamborghini.
Some still took it as an opportunity to take a jab at the driver, comparing his appearance to Tiger King's Joe Exotic.
Commenters on Reddit shared their own experiences of jumping to conclusions, encouraging people to have more empathy.

Others shared their experiences of being the subject of abuse after other motorists misunderstood their need for a disabled badge.
One commenter wrote: "I have a blue badge for a similar reason. I wear leggings and cover my leg however. Old generation LOVEEEEE to question me on why I'm parking in a disabled space."
In a screenshot of their direct messages, the Facebook page manager apologised to the driver for not asking for verification when the first photo was submitted.
