Heavy traffic on the way to work yesterday, semi truck on the two lane road doing a consistant 45mph in the 55 zone. I was a couple miles behind him and had to stop completely a couple of times do to 'accordian effect'. I read a Civil War history that described the same thing in large columns of marching infantry, having to wait for guys in front to get going then having to double time just to keep up, only to come to a stop for no apparent reason a few minutes later. The fault could have been as minor as having to step over a fallen tree limb.

Yep, however, in my case, there were over 1000 parking spots open before I got there and when I left. The jerk had many other unoccupied spots to choose but he chose the one 1' away from my door. Have you ever seen that commercial where the nice car was waaay out in the parking lot with no one else around and some POS car parks 1' away and slams open the door hitting the nice car? I think that commercial was made after my incident. That's exactly what happened to my car.

I park in the back of the parking lot, whether its rain sleet snow empty parking lot....whatever.

Heres the perks:

No dings
No moms beating their children while you watch
You can test drive your cart on the way in and sort it out.
Read the sale flyer.
Easily load your car without fear of being runeth over


One bad side young kids think thats the local road coarse especially if they see a Ferrari and showing of their skills might earn them some wheel time.
