Default Ouch! for one PPW ZR

Wish I had my camera...

I saw an 06 ZR today at Target at Camelback and 7th ave in Phoenix, maybe it was a Xmas gift because it didn't even have plates yet.

There was a guy looking under it while a lady talked to him and another sat in the car. Odd, three people, two seats, someone doesn't belong, but walked into Target anyway, my wife was on a mission mumbling Bratz, batteries, gift card.

I came out and noticed it was still there and that is when it hit me, there are parking blocks down the entire row.... and there should be one right under the ZR

Yeah, I think somebody was trying to leave Target a little too quickly and did not realize the blocks were there. So sad.

I've never really understood how people can beach their cars like a dying whale. It just seems impossible to do as long as your thumb isn't up your butt.

Haha. I love stories about stupid driving. I once saw a chick in a Jeep that hit a Stop sign in broad daylight.

#1) You are supposed to be stopped
#2) Its on the side of the road, by about a yard, that isn't even close to the road.

I run over a parking block with my dads car when I was first learning to drive (14 yo). There was only a few parking blocks in the lot, not all the spaces had them and to top it off it kind of small and only about 3 ft wide. Needless to say I run over it and the protruding rebarb (about 4"-5") went right into the oil pan. I called my dad and we had to jack up the car up and push it backwards to get it off the rebarb, then jack it up again to remove the pan. I still get shyt from him about that.

I drove over one in my old Sentra. I didn't realize it was there...was a parking lot with 2 parking lanes & the blocks in the middle. There was no car in front of me so I drove forward and went over it. It was too late to go back then, lol...so I kept going and my back wheels went over it. It didn't sound very nice.
