Compensating for something?

[drooartz]

I couldn't resist parking next to this:

All I kept thinking was that I wanted to tell the owner that this sort of compensation really doesn't work with the ladies...

If he was facing the other way, you could have parked in his bed. :laugh:

Heck... We have trucks like this crawling all over Calgary, and yes I do think they are ridiculous...

What I really dislike is when a truck like this is diesel powered (likely is)... They have huge smelly diesel exhausts, and when they accelerate spew huge clouds of smoke behind them that linger in the air for ages and stink!

This brings up a goog example of the dangers of parking on the passenger side of something like this. If the trucks owner approaches from the brown building in the rear, he won't ever see your LBC even if he looks out the P.S window. If, thinking the other spot is clear; cuts sharply to the right to pull out, major damage will be done to your LBC by the time he realizes it's there.

I've been meaning to start a thread on this, as I've seen idiots in these parts run over all sorts of stuff when pulling out of a parking space. I am very carefull about what I park next to and I ALWAYS park where the driver of the vehicle on either side of me can see my car. Either as they approach theirs, or once they are behind the wheel.

Allot of these guys (big trucks) are socially ignorant (around here), thus explaining the brass testicles hanging from the rear bumper.

I beleive it's good pratice to only park on the drivers side of trucks and SUV's, especially something like this.

Danger seems to be at it's highest when the spot has too be backed out of and the parking lot exit is to the right.

Tragically it looks like the other one could all too easily cock its rear wheel.

The Tunebug is always happy. He's got nothing to prove...

I moved the Tunebug before that could happen.

Or the individual who comes swinging around the front of the truck to grab that empty space.I always park towards the end of the parking spot so the rear end can be seen.

Same here. I'm glad I have rubber bumpers. They've saved me once already.
