One of 'em is an old CRV though. It's a little, fairly cheap crossover.
They were "jousting" for pole position. Russell street is a "sort after" prime parking for the wealthy inner city types. You should see the victors park and take 40 min to get down in their sleeveless katmandu jackets and pretend to talk to some body on their phones in one hand while they carry their take-away cafe lattes in the other. They want everyone to see them.
I'm just saying, one of them isn't driving a status symbol. Personally I'm surprised the Merc owner was willing to trade paint with someone's old Civic-on-stilts.
