    TMZ Catches Schwarzenegger Parking Porsche in Red Zone

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Just weeks after California first lady Maria Shriver apologized for parking in a red zone, her husband appears to have violated the same law.
    The Web site TMZ.com on Monday posted photographs of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger getting into a silver convertible Porsche in a red zone, where no stopping, standing or parking is allowed. The celebrity site says the violation occurred Saturday in Beverly Hills.

    The city typically issues a $90 citation to red zone violators. Schwarzenegger's spokesman, Aaron McLear, declined to comment.

    The governor apparently didn't learn from his wife's mistake. Last month, Shriver was caught on video parking her Cadillac Escalade in a red zone in Santa Monica.

    That tape surfaced after several other videos showed Shriver holding a cell phone while driving, another violation of California law

    Wouldn't some other Off-Topic forum be a far better place to post this kind of "he said - she said " drivel. You'll be guaranteed a lot more hits and discussion by celebrity chasers who care.

    Sorry to be a Scrooge, but what on earth does that have to do with anything remotely connected to Early 911s.

    Gotta agree with Curt on this one. This is off topic and as the grandfather to more recent porsches, there is a trail of DNA to the early cars.

    I thought that the original poster's point was that Governor Schwartzenegger is "one of us" as a Porsche enthusiast. So what if he stopped for a second in a red zone on a weekend. Was he impeding traffic or blocking wheelchair access? Not only does he have a nice Turbo cab, he likes "sports purpose" Porsches as evidenced by his visit to the GT3 introduction at the Geneva Show earlier this year. It may be nice to have a "friend" like him in Sacramento when the Solons of the Legislature pass more anti-car bills:
