Talk about double parking....

So...my husband and I went out for some sushi today. We drove his '99 Mustang, which his pride and joy. We parked in the back and took up our usual couple of spaces. I know...for those of you who are parking police, it is okay to double park in our neck of the woods. No evil people lurking to vandalize cars around here.

Anyway, as we are leaving the restaurant, my husband jokingly says, "Let's see how many door dings we have." As we walk out, we see this huge truck with an even bigger boat taking up five spaces right next to us keeping our car clear of any potential danger.

Between our double parking and the boat, we took up a combined seven spaces.

Not proud of what i did but he deserved it.

Today I had to take my Mother In Law to the doctor, they had handicapped parking there and I have a handicapped tag on my Vue. When we came out a truck with no handicap plackard or tag had pulled into the hashed off area between the two handicapped parking spots so close to my Vue I had to squeeze into the driver's side. This is the part i am not proud of. After I got in I opened my door hard into the side of the truck and left a big gouge in his paint. I am tired of these people thinking they can park their big assed trucks anywhere and anyhow they want.

On water, sure....Pulled behind a big truck. Never....

Actually, he reworked his entire engine over the winter. It was pulling so much HP when it was tuned, they finally had to stop to keep from blowing the engine. He is running anywhere between 50 - 75 HP at the rear wheels more than my 2010 stock SS.

I guess you can't do the math. Take the stock SS real wheel HP plus 50 - 75 HP... Grab a calculator if you don't have enough fingers.


This gives his car more than 400 HP at the rear tires. As much as I don't like to admit it, his car will smoke my SS. Just the facts.

Asian...LOL...Don't start about the achievement gap..I teach fifth grade and all I ever hear is how far behind we are in the world...How our test scores aren't good enough, and how badly we do our jobs....

We need to genetically modify everyone with Asian DNA for math and science to compete.
