Joel is absolutely right (as always) today! A helluva lot of parking lots have downsized the width and length of their spaces so they can fit in more vehicles. That is all well and good if you have a VW Beetle, or a Fiat 500 or a Chevy Spark….. but a lot of folks have bigger vehicles. I saw this very short lady wrangle with trying to manuver and park her enormous land yacht (this one was a Hummer H1) into one of these slots one time, and it took her perhaps seven tries… and then she could barely squeeze out of the vehicle.
Joel, the eminently wise and calm sage that he is, will figure out the situation just fine. He really doesn’t need advice from the peanut gallery (Rufus). Just ruminate a bit with your pipe for a few minutes, Joel and the needed answers and techniques will come to you.

Rufus is unusually heated with Joel. Even Becky is shocked!

We’ve spent 3 days now watching these halfwits try and park. This strip has more padding than a warehouse full of mattresses.

I miss Sarge and Hack. They inspired me to be a mechanic.
