    What's wrong with this parking lot?




    Can anyone tell me what's with the big parking spot in the middle? Hm.....

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    Note, I'm not the original owner. The original owner was a Civilian BSO that died of cancer, the wife was willing to part with the silver beauty for $19k. She had 32,500 miles on her when I got her. Now she's over 50k!

    Why do you think that's funny? I take personal pride in being an excellent parker; better than most, regardless of gender.

    Ofcourse Mark, same here. I just happened to find it someone's signature over at CV.net and I thought it was funny enough to post here. I mean, all gender jokes aside, it is really funny.

    Actually, the designation for the space should be gender-neutral. I see just as many parking space challenged males as females. Seems the lines don't mean anything anymore ... same goes for the ones on the highway too. Dotted or solid makes absolutely no difference 'cause there is a certain segment of the population that just can't keep their vehicle aligned between them.

    I believe the new medical term is "Linearly Deficient Syndrome". Pharmaceutical companies are working on some kind of miracle drug that will alleviate the symptoms. Unfortunately, these pills will cause diarrhea, projectile vomitting, hair loss, decreased sex drive, and occasional sudden heart stoppage.

    I freely admit I suck at parking. I also freely admit that I suck at all aspects of driving. If you see me in your rear view mirror, might be advisable to pull over till I have gone by.

    Arrow Hmmm



    I believe that this spot is reserved for "Pat".
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    Paula Babineau 1/9/67-8/2/11

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    It is a special space for those with PMS. Those in the know will always give them a wide berth

    Clem,
    Please put a rookie stripe on your rear bumper so that we can all provide you with a comfort zone.

    Just learn to accept it Went out to dinner with the family this weekend, two cars, theirs up front...and they asked where mine is... "Over there.." as they squinted down the lot to the other side where there is a bright street light and no cars or businesses near... I need remote start, it would be warm by the time I walk to it.
