Mine IS the front car. The problem is that the guy in the middle doesn't know how to park.

well if that was me id have 3 options 1.pull out 2. runn over the curb and get out or 3. Get out lock the hubs in and dump the clutch and let my 35s do there job and run his little import over. For you takign notes the 3rd ones the most frowned apon by insurance comapanies.

In Oklahoma, one parking space would barely fit in the entire frame of the picture - we like our space (if you got it flaunt it). Definitely boxed in. Unless it is a parking space at an Indian smoke shop or casino - in that case you are lucky not to be boxed in on all 4 sides two or three cars deep

took me like 5 minutes of looking at the picture to see what you were complaining about.

And its not an import. thats a Pontiac Sunfire.

Growing up in NYC often times you would come out and find out the car in back of you was actually touching your bumper and the guy in front left you 3 inches. No problem, we would just stretch the space by either pushing one back more or pushing the other in front more.

Years ago when I had a 3/4 ton Dodge pickup with really low gears, I was parked in. I mean parked in such that the drivers front and back put their cars in contact with my PU. I was facing downhill and the car behind me had a fair amount of clearance behing it and my back bumper approximately matched the height of his front bumper. So I started up the old Dodge, put it in backwards, and pushed the car back until I felt it hit (gently) the car behind it. Even with that new clearance I had to do the forth and back a couple of time to get out, but get out I did.

There's a lot to say about tough bumpers, reasonable displacement, high torque, a strong frame, and good gearing. With those adantages, I didn't even need to say all that many bad words. However with our current point five mph bumpers, etc, about the only thing one can do is utter bad words. Courtesy is dead.

No, courtesy is not dead. It has just become diluted by the increase in self-obsession.

Times like these are why I drive a 4wd blazer. Jump the curb, drive away, don't let it ruin your day. Problem solved.
