    I'm not too keen on folks that drive in. Maybe not so bad with a 48 spread axle but a 53 closed spread that noses into a curb is VERY inconsiderate and amateurish. Deserves to have his trailer hit IMO.

    And where's the brain bleach?!?

    I'm with you on this one. It's no big deal in the double row spots, as it doesn't change where the end of the vehicle is, but in the middle of a row against a curb where the trailer is sticking an extra 10' out? It just screams "ME, ME, ME!!!"

    I don't know if even that would be enough...lol


    It wouldn't matter to me so much if it didn't make it difficult to nearly impossible to park next to them if need be, and worse yet, to get out in the morning. Some truckstops are nightmares without guys nosing in.

    How about actually parking in a spot when there's plenty of open spaces rather than in the driveway or beside the scale ...?

    I do believe that Mr./Ms. Jenner still has the sexual anatomy of his original gender. I will admit that Caitlin did turn more attractive that I thought she would.

    Shame when your husband looks better as a woman than you do.
