Re: THAT Is So NOT A Parking Spot!
It is quite funny...it seems out here the smaller the car the harder it is to park.
I get the train to and from work and then have to get a bus or a lift home...and quite a few of us commuters get lifts home and most times the person picking up arrives just before the train and double parks then goes. If they arrive early and there is a spot they back in (it is 90degree parking). So I'm waiting for a bus and this little car - sort of like a honda civic - rolls in and decides to park. They take no less than 10 attempts at backing in and it is still crooked. And it WASN'T a learner. It ended up angled so that the back corner was 2 inches from the car on the right and the opposite front corner was 2 inches from the car on the left!!!
The LINES tell you where to park....seriously!

The primary difference between a good four wheel drive truck and a bad one is the good one will get you in farther before getting stuck.JugglingFreak wrote:She's a squirrel squashin', deer smackin', drivin' machine...
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Sure was GP. ;) She was to blow out candles on cake at castle. Her drive would have cut down walk time & everything & every guest in her path. :D:GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:Wasn't that what Miley Montana wanted to do?

Until recently, mom was saying that if she had to get a new car, it would be a Mini Cooper. Then she discovered a few things with them--they are manual transmission only, cost more than one would think, and require premium gas. Good thing she still loves her Honda Civic!

Re: THAT Is So NOT A Parking Spot!
A friend of ours just took delivery of a smart car!
preimum gas required. and it has a really strange "auto" transmission. (No stick shift!)
and he says that when you drive on the freeway, its like a kids rocking horse, because the wheelbase is so short that it bounces back and forth due to they way the pavement slabs are seated!
Lucky he dosn't have to commute in it!
