Epic, hours-long battle over a parking space in Los Angeles

These parkers are petty and proud of it.

It’s the epic battle of wills now known as “Team Black Car vs. Team Silver Car” — in which a pair of strong-willed drivers in Koreatown, California, faced off for nearly two long hours over a parking spot.

It all starts at 6:20 p.m. Monday, when Mariah spots what appears to be a minor vehicular standoff. She doesn’t start documenting the “action” until 10 solid minutes later.

By 6:40 p.m., Black Car and Silver Car are still refusing to budge an inch. At least they turn their flashers on — but don’t mistake this as an act of courtesy, Mariah says. Because by 6:46 p.m., “petty level 6000 [is] unlocked.”

The awkward half-in, half-out parking job quickly results in what’s known in the automotive world as a “bottleneck” situation. It’s “dangerous,” Mariah reports.

After nearly 90 minutes, she starts getting a little antsy and appeals to us, the viewer, to help her out of this traffic jam. “Should I go talk to them? [Maybe] just a knock on the window to tell them I love their work?,” she asks her second poll of the evening.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! “SILVER takes the gold,” Mariah raves as she ups her cellphone video game with special effects.

3. Reminded me exactly of the Seinfeld episode

with George. The parking battle was still going as the episode ended, we never knew who got the spot.

4. You're right, I forgot that.

I think George had the right to the spot.
