Two More Reasons Why I Ride the Train to Work

Yes. Then the story would have been "...then two truck-based vehicles...". What a stupid question.

Are you trying to say this was an anti-SUV rant?

Or *maybe*, if the SUV drivers had been concerned about anything except their ice-cream fix, they would have taken care not to slam their doors into the car next to them.

Jeez, a stupid question and a stupid nonsensical piece of conservative propaganda. Scott wasn't blaming the SUVs.

Why is it, do you think, that when you go to those paces that have parking designated for compact cars, the non-compacts mostly likely to be taking up 1.2 spaces happen to be SUVs? Could it be that those folks who value fashion over most everything are MFFY to the core?

I like those folks - I can fit my compact, beater VW into the slot to their right, and since there is no mirror on that side of my car (yes, it came that way from the factory), I can park within an inch of their driver-side door. Even the SUV drivers that can actually fit their Exploder within the stripes finds their driver door within a foot or so of my pbuttenger door, and my tires are entirely within my own space. It's even more fun when some jerk tries to take two regular spots - that GTI can fit between that car and the stripe, with some room to spare. I might have to crawl out the hatch, but hey. :)

In college, one of my buddies liked to open his door repeatedly into cars that parked too close to him. I've thought about it a few times in the above scenarios, but never do it. peeing off a MFFY parker isn't illegal, yet.

Don't be so sure about that. Several years ago, on Cape Cod, I was driving from one job site to another. I was on a back road (151?, I think) where...
