Must have done a fair portion of these myself... like no less than 10.

Good advice but that's impossible to do at my office but I do take "precautions".

You can't tell from the photo because it was taken from some distance, but the spot I'm in is in a curve in the parking lot and is actually triangular shaped, and is actually about a space and a half wide, almost two spaces at the back.

There are also several curb spots I cherry pick whenever they are available so I at least minimize the possibility to one side of the car.

Almost got arrested while driving the FR-S...

A Great Day....Not

Forgot to pull the hand break, later it rolled back resting against my garage door hinges.

Then, like every other day, my wife opened the garage door in the morning.

You know what happened to the rear bumper.....aaahh. It was painful!

I transported 4 wheels w/tires in the back of the car. Heavy ass mothers... Car was slow!! If you see another ad saying that the backseats are good for transporting wheels - don't believe it!! They barely fit..

Not sure if I could pull that off in the car with me in the driver's seat. I am a bit too tall for anyone behind me to be able to drive.

The main road in my neighborhood was being repaved. While they were repaying it, there was dirt,mud, and oil all over the car. I drove 30mph and nothing but mud,dirt,and oil kicked under my car. The oil dried it up and hardened it allot. It took over an hour to chip off everything under the car that I could see.

Update 2/9 ungrounded Missy.
OK- I am sad to report that I had to ground Missy today. She gave her 86 a "raspberry" when she kissed a parking curb. I got her key and she won't be driving for a bit. On a good note, she came in all happy about getting the auto trany to revmatch during a late hard braking maneuver. I'll let you all know when i give her back her key.

When I bought the car I got stuck in the dealership parking lot because I couldn't figure how to put it in reverse. A technician had to tell me how.
