nixy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 What an excellent idea!

nixy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 yep. I am excellent at parking in the same old places - fly backwards into my garage with millimetres to spare each side BUT anywhere i haven't parked before? Useless! I admit it!

tmJak Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Bet it was a female official who came up with this idea. Men won't complain about luxury parking for women if they think it's because women can't park. We'll brave the crappy Walmart car parks, and still be smug thinking it's because we're better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Other than the pink I think its a fab idea - thats why I love Costco's car parking - its a lot wider so even the muppet next to you has half a chance at NOT dinging your door !
