    Maybe it said "Firestone" right on it.

    She probably thinks Goodyear tires are only good for 12 months.

    I have to refrain from mentioning Kumho tires as this is a family website.

    Not sure; perhaps a person with a quasi-truck parking like a bonehead with a 'real' truck?

    How many times have I seen someone back into a parking space-POORLY.
    Most likely it took him 5 tries and still screwed it up.

    Parking garage was practically full and that bonehead (👍) is so special he decided to take up two spots.

    It’s all about him!
    Brian, I am reminded of how a guy that I knew in the early 1970's handled seeing people taking up two parking spaces. I saw him do this stunt numerous times in restaurant and mall parking lots. He was a work colleague and several of us would meet for lunch or happy hour each driving our own cars.

    He drove an AMC turquoise Gremlin. He would park his car in the area on drivers side of the offending car just as close as possible, sometimes so close to the drivers door to make it difficult to open the door. The Gremlin was a perfect car to perform this idiotic stunt because of this blunt rectangle shape.

    It must be a common thing associated with the Gremlin as I found quite a few pics showing a Gremlin parked sideways.

    I think the guy I knew had a similar problem to your description "... bonehead (👍) is so special he decided to take up two spots and It's all about him!". He didn't recognize he suffered from the same delusion.

    From time to time when I spot an offender taking up two parking spaces, I think of him.

    So during covid when the world was full of inept delivery drivers, I put arrows with my house number out on the street, on a tree going up my driveway to indicate a right turn and another on my garage pointing to the house. We've been having strong spring winds that must have torn the garage arrow off one of the nails making it swing and point down.

    Funny story about epilepsy.....I used to have grand mal seizures back when I was a young racer, early 90's. I could control them down to petit mals with the two medications I took.

    I'm in practice at PIR in Portland OR turning some pretty fast lap times with my best friend/crew chief on pre-grid timing me. Shaving off a tenth of a second per lap here and there is good work. I must have had a wild hair up my a$$ because I shaved off a full two seconds one lap.

    Well, the intense focus must've done its work because I went into a petit mal going down the back straight. If anyone has experienced petit mal seizures, you still have your faculties, just not all of them.

    So I slowed to the outside, signaled and exited the track and parked it on pre-grid next to my crew chief. He looks at me and says, what's up?? I told him, I'm seizing....He steps back, looks that bike and says, The bike sounds okay to me!?!, I laughed and said No man, I'M seizing....since he was my best friend, he knew and quickly hit the kill switch, helped me off the bike and we sat against the rail and had a good laugh at what had just taken place.

    I've been seizure free by the way since 2000, no meds.

    I remember pulling into dmv years ago for a vehicle inspection on my 74 Ford Comet. I stepped on the floor dimmer switch while waiting and it went through the rusty floorboard. My instant fix was to crush an empty soda can and slip it under the dimmer. It got me though inspection. Gotta do what you gotta do sometimes to keep the wheels turning.

    I owned two of those bad boys. The first was my first car. The second was many years later for a p issed off wife since I had just bought a new motorcycle.

    Correct; it was a Mercury and it was a rust bucket. One of my least memorable cars. It wasn't pretty but it did get me to work and back for a couple months
