speed21,

I know it's popular to hate on China these days but geeze Dude.

Actually, I don't park my car anywhere. I bought it strictly as "toy" and it only goes from point A back to point A and if you haven't already guessed point A is my own garage.

I have a Toyota Camry as a daily driver (and my throttle and brakes work fine thank you! ). It's a very reliable car but it's a magnet for shopping carts. It got whacked twice so far causing over $1000 in damage each time. The first time was during a windy thunderstorm while I was actually sitting the car in a Target parking lot. It just so happened the shopping cart hit me just as a close lighting/thunder strike occured. That was a strange experience. I thought I got struck for sure. I opened up my eyes and I was expecting to see my parents standing next to St. Peter welcoming me to "the other side".

 

why risk it?

 

I am a bit sensitive to the parking issue and shortly before I'd even got my car I asked a parking warden (this was in a ticketed area)if I bought two tickets at the same time and displayed them could I then park in the middle of them both with the dividing line running down the middle of the car.He said he could see no reason why I could'nt do that however I hav'nt got to that stage yet!
