(More funny pics at the website!)


Now you can leave little messages on cars that people can't park!!!

So,
1) Print out a notice.
2) Place copies in your glove box.
3) Send your message whenever necessary.

At my work, me and a co-worker each take up two spaces. In residential, I leave about 2-3 feet distance from the curb to avoid any more curb rashes on my rims

My parking lot is big enough where that's ok but parking 2-3 feet from the curb is probably more dangerous to your car from people clipping it than it would be from curb rash. Just take parallel parking slow if you're afraid of curb rash. At least I'd be more afraid of someone clipping my car if I parked that far out.

Saw this all the time in Mexico, and unfortunately seeing it a bit here in Florida (where the parking spaces are much wider, go figure).

Yes, I am more concern about people clipping my car too.

in my city that's illegal

18 inches from the curb is the maximum.

Im aware that i can be ticketed. But I'd rather get a $20 ticket than pay $100 to fix a curb rash, and the chances of the latter happening is alot more likely to happen.

Heres an extreme example lol

If you have to park 2 to 3 feet away from the curb to avoid curb rash, you must be a newb at parking...

That's going to work out good for you until the day someone clips the side of your car and then you are stuck with the bill to fix your car, their car, and the fine for parking in the middle of the street.
