Winter Parking - Land Rovers Only

Mr Tj · 03-01-2008, 07:41 PM

Took the wife to Red Lobster tonight. But the car park was full, only the half space at the end that held the snow pile from this winter's crop.

So, I did what any true-green would do. Used the "Land Rover Only" parking space.

The look on the Hummer driver that pulled in behind me was a sight for sore eyes.

My wife hasn't laughed so hard in a long time.

Very Nice reminds me of my parking while at the ski area... I will determine if the lot is full..LOL

its nice being able to park anywhere. the little grass islands in big parking lots are wonderful too if the snow birds take up all the good spots....

It's hard to imagine what snow would be like, i've seen some slush and that's it, never really seen snow before.

this was my idea of parkin at the dunkin donuts. when i was at the winter romp..... the best part was this 15 or 16 year old girl driving a brand new jeep asked me" why would i do that"

to witch i replied "becouse i can" and went in and gotmy coffee

I got a ticket for doing that in my freshman year of college, I went down to the rent a cop station and told them I was parked in a space, they told me I wasn't, I went outside and dug down to where they could see the white line showing I was in a real spot. The jerks wouldn't throw the ticket out though

, some people have no sense of humor.

Your answer should have been, " Because I drive a Rover, not a Heep ". LMAO!

I park in the "Additional" Rover spot's all the time!

I'm sure it can't be that great for the suspension, But when you need to park, you need to park.
