HAHA, my old neighborhood, us L.B. people know what he means about trying to find parking (parking by the beach in L.B. doesn't exist), I had a garage and NEVER parked on the street as this is common, usually they only get 2-3 cars but 24 must be a record!
(AP) LONG BEACH, Calif. A motorist has been charged with drunken driving and hit-and-run after police say he struck about two dozen cars and two people during a wild ride.
David Wecksler of Long Beach was charged with two misdemeanors Friday.
Authorities say he was tipsy when his car drove through a Belmont Heights area in February, sideswiping rows of parked cars for blocks and bumping two people, who luckily received only minor scrapes.
A police report says Wecksler admitted he'd been drinking at a poker party with friends but he claimed a blown tire caused him to lose control of his GMC Sierra truck.
When officers asked why he didn't stop after the first accident, Wecksler allegedly replied, "I was trying to find a place to park."
