I also carry around traffic markers with do not cross tape in case I'm forced to park along the yellow line instead of across the disabled spots. Seems to be working pretty well so far.

But last week I saw someone in an Old POS corolla with bad body kit, fart can and cheap looking alloys, park well away from all other cars. Wouldn't want his late 80's ricer scratched! |

Whoever opens their door onto the soob gets its red paint all over the impact point on their door hehe love it.
I was driving out of eastgardens today and saw a particular stereotype in her lexus SUV backing with her hazards on (why?) into a car space, completley missed and ended up backing her lexus inbetween the spaces right over the dividing line. Lucky there were two empty spaces not just one hehe.

it may just be his pride and joy that he has spent the majority of his time and money on. I must admit I don't park over two spaces for fear of people purposely scratching it or parking me in (have seen it done) But i do park at the other end of the shopping center right up next to a wall or gutter, so i can get as close to it as possible.

I'm gonna assume your car is in great condition.
This corolla was nothing special. Could see usual wear and tear over the paint/body. He wasn't even in a proper parking space. He was just between 2 random walls over the far end of the car park near nothing.. not a very busy day either. |

Although you would take off anything valuable first (bodykit, wheels etc) they might be crappy, but still worth selling separately

*Hope they didn't damage the beautiful VN* ![]() Getting a stone chip repaired on one of them would probably cause it to be a write off

i've had a few anxious moments in the (very steep) driveway where i've pulled on the handbrake, put it neutral first (always let the handbrake hold my car, not park/gear, then park/gear when handbrake has held it)...and then the stupid au/b-series handbrakes haven't held/engaged properly first go. i know i park pretty close to the house/other cars, gotta save space in tight driveway & prove i'm a good judge of distance... ![]() but every time the stupid handbrake has let me down, i've been johnny on the spot & never clobbered anything. kissed bumper to garage door once or twice, but nothing like mistaking the stop & go pedals though

Saw a thread over at the Whirlpool forums (deleted now), where a guy claims he was trying to drift his Mondeo in "a quiet street, quite safe" (his words), to show his friends what the car could do. This is the result:
![]() ![]() He was asking if he could pay for towing with his CC and will his CTP cover the damage ![]() ![]()

mate, i loved the AU(AUII i had) longest i ever kept a car for by a huge margin, time just came for something new...and the AU exterior was just too damn ugly for me, not the worst car i've ever seen by a long way...but it's just kind of harsh.
i like the AUII-III interior better than the subsequent B-series i've piloted though
