My Josh just now seen this classic 80's movie, Ferris, he never drives it. He just rubs it with a diaper. [runs his finger across the car]

My son laughed couldn't stop laughing then looked at me.

Sounds familiar Mr hand washer in the middle of December and parks 100 yards from store doors

Yes opposite, I only park carefully

Backing in a space is just habit, in Spain, France and Italy that's what most did so I copied


Boston USA parking can be as congested as euro city's,

American garages are bigger it's not needed but in Madrid with itty bitty spaces with a narrow travel lane it's a must sometimes

Drivers back in deep so they can get out easier, or so that they can make what they think is a cleaner exit from a tight spot with a lot of traffic, or from a space near a corner. When someone is backing into a spot, other drivers just have to be patient and wait.

Sip on your Tim Hortons as I back up sir. ☕️ ty, it'll just be a sec

@Onesie

My bad, I'm the one that should be drinking decaf…

I have more expensive trucks/suvs that are parked on the street, m2 gets the special treatment only (long term keeper) euro delivery with my son and dad, it's staying in the Miller clan for 20+ years, my Josh drives it as well as most already, bimmer bug bit him during the Munich delivery

@Onesie

I've been to 10+ countries for work and holiday but having my dad & son with me picking up this future classic was the most memorable, my son had his first beer, my dad drove triple digits on the autobahn just to name a couple

I splurged on airfare and hotel, everything was 5star, the staff @ the welt during the delivery let my son drive the "victory lap"

To all: sorry for the thread jack
