Aside from the usual bad drivers such as slow pokes in the passing lane, not signaling or signal only after they stop on the road / or left signal after the light goes green...

... is when you need to make a quick stop on your way home from work to the grocery store in your new car to pick up that missing item for dinner. Taking an extra few minutes to find the side parking lot that the entire row is clear except for one vehicle and park a couple spots away from that.

Then to quickly run in and not even be 10 minutes to find a mini-van parked right beside you and a horde of kids with their mom walking up...

... as you all know kids tend to swing doors open but looks like I got away unscathed! I was almost positive there was going to be a dent along with some kind of kid slobber...

Got lucky this time... here's hoping for the next.

So what grinds your gears?

Yes, I know exactly what you are feeling. For some reason I cannot stand others parking next to my Camaro. Another reason why I drive a POS Toyota for a DD.

I know your frustation, you take the extra time and effort to park away from everyone else and walk a country mile to get to the store, only to find someone has parked a 73 Olds four door Delta 88 right next to your Camaro.

They are a minivan magnet. I'm so glad we only have 3 kids and never needed a loser cruiser minivan

LOL Kristen said even if we ever MAY need a minivan, we will NEVER have a minivan. She'd rather pay for a Suburban then drive a minivan! LOL! I have to agree with her on this one!

My wife wanted a 3rd kid and a Suburban or just the 2 kids and a Camaro.

I guess my decision was clear lol

YES!! I was at Target yesterday and I park so far out I need people handing me water to make it to the door. I come out and an old Chevy truck is parked RIGHT next to me. The place is desolate all around but Mr.Chevy and myself! I wanted to write 'Turd' on his back window but I decided not too. I would do it to be funny (like what he did to me I am assuming) and he would come and shoot me lol

mhood · 10-02-2010, 06:10 PM

Sometimes (maybe) a clunker parks next to your car because they love the car too and want to protect it.

Exactly!!! It's like our rides are some kind of magnet... you can be miles away but that poop-machine will find you and park right beside you!

If only that were true...

Well, if the poop machine doesn't ding your car, why assume the worst?
