It wouldn't matter if I'm parking a 128i Coupe or the 545i sedan. I'm still looking for that "dingless" parking spot. My wife knows if I'm taking her to the shopping mall, she needs to wear comfortable walking shoes just to get from the lot to the mall entrance!
 
When you like nice vehicles, parking becomes an art.

Ditto..that's my exercise! Unfortunately, she makes me drop her off first and then I'm off to the boon docks!!! It's the heels thing.

Looks like in a couple of years you will be driving a Lexus hybrid and I will be the happy owner of a MB C class diesel. Will make for some interesting posts, eh?

I love history so thanks for the lesson. Remember that everyone in the U.S. came from somewhere else or at least our ancestors did.
 
While traveling in Canada a few years ago we visited an old settlement that had been established by the French. They were called Acadians and they were forced out of Canada in the 1700's. Quite a few of them ended up in the U.S. in south Louisiana and are now know as our lovely Cajuns. Who would have guessed?

In the Walmart Super Center parking lot, my wife after enduring my 6 minute search for the perfect parking spot, exclaimed "Why don't you just get a smaller car?" (As if the size of the vehicle had anything to do with my meticulousness!) (Why can some women be so clueless?)
 
Ugh, don't even get me started on Walmart parking lots. If there's another place where you are more likely to end up with a nice big fat scrape or dent, I haven't found it.

See, we have more in common than one might have thought...
 
More Homer-like drooling for the DB9 and Maser...

O K Mr H
 
I had a quick visit up there, and the weather was still winter, but I`l go back soon...Remember a while ago when we were talking about diesel? I asked the other day how our bio diesel plant was coming (the fuel doesn`t smell like diesel) and we are now making fuel....Of course the prices have gone up alot (raw material) and I wondered how we would be competative...Turns out we get a subsidy to make the fuel, and of course I thought it was for the U S A-- no all of it has been exported to Europe ( I`l find out if any gets to our friend Jose)...I have a feeling the big oil companies are going to manufacture a shortage of diesel therefore the price will rise even more than gas...Just my opinion....I really look forward to the next generation of hy-bred, so I might join Dewey with a Lexus--if it is worthwhile...In the meantime I sure look forward to the approaching time when you start to crank up.....Hasta manana Tony

"Walmart parking lots"
 
Well yeah, except this was a "super center" parking lot, meaning HUGE!!
 
Being that I don't work, I take the wife there only during week days when kids are supposed to be in school and most folks are at work-plenty of parking room, and even then, I always park as far away from the super center as humanly possible, which drives my poor wife absolutely insane!
 
For some reason I cannot figure out, she seems to think I park the 545i far away from the store because it is a 'big car."

I came form the beautiful island of Sicily...the city of Licodia Eubea. Perhaps thats why I'm drawn to the F430?
