Parallel Park Boxed In... Make Room?

Recommended Posts

Nice dinner with the wife downtown, street parking. Came back to find a car 12 inches in front and 12 inches behind me. WTF... I had my wife's car, but if I had my truck with the draw bar in all I could think was 4wd low and 350 hp and push the a-hole that boxed me in (wasnt even in a parking spot) back a few feet. I eventually got out after a 37 point turn.

 

But I keep thinking if I had my truck how easy would it be to push a crappy Honda civic back a few feet with my draw bar and hitch ball? Obviously I would not be concerned about damaging the A-holes car.[emoji35]

I find people are lazy and self-centered and Judy getting worse. I think if your obese and out of shape you should Park farther away and walk. Problem is these people look for the closest spot so they don't have to walk!! I know there are people with legitimate issues and I'm the first guy to help or hold the door, etc. It's the lazy SOB that thinks their entitled that ticks me off.

I was taught to respect not only people but vehicles, tools.. Whatever it may be. I teach my kids this too. I probably will have a episode some day when done moron disrespects.

Thats one thing I miss about the Wrangler. Aside from it being super compact and maneuverable, it had steel bumpers front and back and people just wouldn't screw with it in tight spots.

just 2 WD in a full size pick up will push a car (car will just leave a small skid mark) ... no need to over think this - if the bumpers match up there's no damage (usually) --

your results may vary

I am and i do. I get a real good laugh out of people who follow me down the parking isle thinking they are going to get an upfront spot only to find out they followed me to the back of the parking lot. I mostly do it because I dont want me car dinged up. The other reason is to watch people chimp out that will spend 10 minutes waiting for an upfront spot and im already inside and done with half my shopping and they are just parking. people who insist on parking up front are halarious. its like people who go shopping at the mall all day or walk around walmart for hours and insist on parking up front like that saves you much walking.people get really angry over front spots and i think they are morons. usually i find the people who want to park up front the most are young impatient skinny people.

Made me think about that one time in college, I had the parents minivan to move out. Literally nowhere to park in Madison, WI. I got into a spot that was exactly 24" longer than the caravan by using that same 37 pt turn. Fun stuff.
