Marshawn Lynch uses velvet ropes when he parks his Lamborghini

Will a velvet rope really protect your car? No, but maybe you’ll feel a little better.

Marshawn Lynch spent some time in Oakland, apparently shooting a film of unspecified substance. So the Seahawks running back needed to park his Lamborghini in the Bay Area and apparently has a unique form of protection he carries with him -- a set of velvet ropes.

This raises a lot of questions.

  1. Was there not a nearby garage or valet service that could have avoided parking this thing on the street?
  2. Exactly how hard is it to parallel park a Lambo? Even thinking about it gives us goosebumps.
  3. There is ZERO storage space in an Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster. Basically the only place there is to put anything is the passenger seat. Does this mean Lynch is cramming four poles and two velvet ropes in the seat next to him, or did he borrow them from that nearby Chinese holistic medicine center?
