Ha, should really be printed on 8.5" x 11" or larger paper.   :)

Or made into a template do you can spray paint it onto the hood??   :rofl2:

Yes but it was clean and I did not want to get it dirty  :) The TTRS has only seen one day with rain since I bought it  :P

^ Sweet duo of cars, Snowy!!   :cheers:     Did you recently get the OEM rear lip spoiler added to the S2K?  I don't recall you having one on it in past pictures.

Nope, the lip was on the car when I bought it.

The rear spoiler or the front lip are you talking about?  I know that you've always had the OEM front lip but never noticed you having the rear spoiler.  Or perhaps you've never posted pics of the rear of your S2K and I never noticed.   Either way, the car looks kick @ss!   8)

Sorry, the rear lip was there as well. I have done nothing to the S2000......yet  :)

Audits are fun.  I bet someone will park next to him with all the other spaces available.  ;D

Parking as such in the picture is asking for trouble and makes you an a$$

While I don't have a really nice car, I still want to take care of it and be dingless.  I'm not afraid to walk, so I go as far as possible with no other cars around or spots that have the minimum cars around me (corner spots).   

While I hate people that double park near the front because it says "look at me" & "I'm special"  -- I will never spit or key a car (even if they deserve it)   I've always however wanted to keep a grease pen in the car for such occasions and leave a note on the window... it rubs off, leaves no damage but makes a great point!  LOL


I say if you drive some crazy car in which you're too worried to park in the boonies and feel the need to have it close to the entrance and still choose to double park.... well maybe you shouldn't take that car to the faking mall!!!

Which I think should be totally acceptable. If you want your expensive/rare auto free from door dings, park in the back 40.

What's the problem? Maybe snowy wants to get a bit of exercise. As long as he's not taking up two or four parking spaces.

 Not long ago I saw a truly self-centered, the-world-revolves-around-me biotch park her BMW that way but across a HANDICAPPED spot so she wouldn't tire herself out walking 40 or 50 feet to the liquor store.  >:(  I used to keep some signs in my car with 'I PARK LIKE AN @$$HOLE' in big red letters just for occasions like that. Maybe I should print some more up.....  ::)
