entertaining the idea

I do too, but that is where I put them to see the best, and suffer the blind spots they cause. They do look great in the side mirrors though...

I would rotate the pass side down to assist in parallel parking.
Would really mess up the babe's minds!

Well, yes, I do have the rear fenders viewable in the mirrors, but that's so I can use the fender flares as a guage to where the car in the mirror is!
Really, that's why!  -Z-man.

Mein Gott!

LOL - and I thought that I was the only weirdo to do that. Might add that this is especially addicting when the car has just been washed/waxed.
Since we're riding the confession train......... I also park the car in the middle of nowhere in lots on purpose......not so much to aviod dents, but so I can just look at the car as I walk towards it when done seeing a movie, shopping, ect. |

but the real question is 'dare I doulbe'
if I double park I will lessen the chance of dings, but there might be someone who keys or dents it because I double parked I have taken up 6 parking spaces before (diagnal) OH YEAH, put that in a beer commercial! |
