Does this look like a compact car to you? One of those was parked in a space that had a huge sign over it that read “Compact Only”. I suppose if this is your other car then it might seem compact by comparison. But really, I think it’s just a case of someone not giving a crap. The most joyous thing about those vehicles, however, is when they’re parked at the end of a row in a parking garage. They stick out so far into the turn that you almost want to flip your wheel just a tad to the side and *ding*! Oops. The fact that I’d just end up damaging my own vehicle in the process is the only thing keeping me from doing that on a regular basis. But I can dream, can’t I? Lovely visions of me whirling my orange Bug up ten levels leaving a trail of twisted and torn SUVs in my wake. Ahh. “Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Three Orange Whips!” (Anyone remember what movie that’s from? michael[at]chatterwaul.com)
