Smile Woman Parking

I thought this was kind of funny.

I saw that one a while back and again this morning on Yahoo. I can't believe the number of times she tried and I still find it funny the way he walked up and parked for her.

Kind of reminds me of the parking lots around here, especially now.

The same thing here too Ron. I saw a Lexus the other day with more curb rash and scrapes than some of the offroad trucks I used to see in California. Long scrapes down each side, back edges of the driver door folded in from repeated hits to other cars, dent in the bumper and trunk from a pole, same to the front, underside of the front bumper completely scraped up, all 4 rims completely scraped up. Drivers Mirror was actually duct taped on. Bad thing is the car was a newer model no more than 5 years old.

That must have been taken here in Lake Havasu City, lots of 90 year olds driving. You know they're old when you can't see them when they re sitting behind the wheel.

One thing ...watch out for my mother-in-law, she's 85, short and full of good intentions..but sadly is one of those drivers that can't park.

Maybe a strip of rubber bumpers around the cars like those in the carnivals have. I think about 80% of the newer cars around here have scrapes and dings in them from parking.

Heard today on NPR that China has created special parking lots for women (to encourage more of them to drive). Painted colors like pink and lavender, with parking spaces an extra 3 ft wide to accommodate the special needs of women.....

And why do women pay less insurance than men?

In her case probably because she can't hit anything including a parking space. Maybe NASCAR should talk to her about driving for them.

There is an extended clip of a number of driver problems, I do not seem to find in on Youtube.

This one was part of it.

Tru,

Here is another one that did a great job of parking. Notice how they slipped away without leaving any notice on the other cars.
