Man, this is going back a long way. I recall a Mon. Night game from Kansas City in which a banner saluted the broadcasters & if memory serves; Arrowhead Stadium Welcomes - 'Dandy Don','Faultless Frank', & 'Big Chief Riflemouth'! Those guys were a lot of fun & seemed to play off of each other quite well.

Cheers
JB

Due to the trucks size I don't utilize the end compact stall and allow myself room to just hook right and out.

I go pick up some produce and when I return, I find this A$$ Monkey parked next to me. Hence, blocking my departure plan.

Not unless they felt 65-70 was a scorcher.... Who really knows the reason. Even funnier was the fact they were completely blocking the lane too by not even getting close to the stall. At least it was possible to roll back due to a slight grade and no cars being parked in the area directly behind me.

People make me laugh

^^^^^Not sure, this is one of those Google Earth mysteries. There are a few theories on what this scene really is.

BTW: nice Manx(sp) body, new project??

The real D-bag is the person who decided to give preferrential treatment to compact cars, or cover up their mistake of dividing a parking lot for too many cars making the spaces too damn small.

Unfortunately, this is probably dictated by local building code. Is this in CA, by any chance?

II don't know about the pic from the previous post, but there are lots of places in Houston with compact parking. The grcoery store near my house is always full of jack holes in full size trucks and big SUVs parked in the compact parking.

Not for me, picked it up for a buddy who thought it was a early Square Tail Manx, turned out not to be.

My lord, I could get my tour bus out of that lot where you were parked, no problem. You had plenty of space to pull forward and turn right.

If I'm not mistaken, in CA "compact" refers only to the length of the car. At least, I was told that once.
