Not Clear on the Concept

If you drive a Nissan Xterra, Ford Explorer, Expedition, Excurcsion, Chevy Suburban, etc... your car does NOT belong in the parking spot marked "compact". Just because your car technically still fits between the lines with the doors closed does not mean you should park there.

Also, a note to soccer moms everywhere - the "mini" in the word minivan does not qualify you as a compact car either.

Me and pretty much all of your regular readers, (Your sisters, et al.) would appreciate it if you would just voice your complaints about your wife directly to your wife rather than through your blog.

Sincerely,

Andy

Hey now!! I wouldn't even try to park my truck in a compact spot! Heck I don't even like to park next to another car, if I can avoid it and not have to walk too far with 5 kids! And for the record, mini van phase is long gone and will never, ever be revisited!

Right now my saab fits in pretty much any spot, but I will store your comments in the back of my head for the day when a bigger car becomes necessary.

I can't remember the last time I saw a "compact" spot around here. No, I was referring to the parking lots in California - they have them in just about every lot.

I just want to know, at what point do I have to stop parking in the "mothers with infants" parking spots at the grocery store? When OBB is a year old? Or can I stretch it longer?

EssBee... how would Big A know? He and his wife are never without at least one infant.
