Or you say "from a ladder". That's how I do mine.

Same here. I have a Little Giant ladder that makes it quite simple. Easy to haul around too since it collapses so small.

You know you drive an Excursion when a Honda Civic isn’t paying attention at a 4-way stop and pulls out in front of you when you are already moving through. All of a sudden you see the whites of their eyes when they look up and go Oh *****!…. Lucky for him I was paying attention, or I would have felt a small bump in the road….

Old thread, new owner

...when you pull out of a parking spot and a Honda races across the spots into the lane, getting mad you are interfering with his dart to a spot, so you stop in mid turn and watch him pull up to your side and wait.

Here is the new owner part:

Being new to the game and not so fast thinker on your feet, you do NONE of the following.

...Tell the wife to open her door and step out onto his hood.

...Put the passenger window down and say, "I'll wait, go ahead UNDER"

...Shift into neutral and blast the exhaust at his window.

Instead, you lean over and look out the passenger window and realize that he is about eye level with the bottom of your door and chuckle saying, "Okay, now what are you going to do" then get bored after watching his female passenger yelling at him for about 30 secs and drive away.

But, you are amused by how emasculating it must've been for the ****** to attempt to bully you then be confronted with a closeup view of...your RUNNING BOARD! HAHA.

Afterwards you briefly consider looping around and parking ON TOP of the Honda, but decide to go on your way.

And the admiring smile on the wife's face when you say, "We're 3 TIMES his size. The worst he can do is some sheet metal damage and his insurance would have to pay. We're good."

Another one.

...When you chuckle out loud the first time you use your horn for a dumb non-looking driver and realize your 'not wimpy horn' is right at his driver's side window and might have actually made ripples in his coffee!

...When a hip-hopping Corolla tries to jump line in a merge on the on ramp at highway speeds, pulls beside you, and you casually look forward and say, "Well, it's his problem now" There is no "forced merge" against you when driving the EX

when a 40+ year old guy with a dirty white T shirt driving his parents 95 LeSabre -because he still lives with them - pulls in front of you in the fast lane and then sees the big Blue Oval in his rear view mirror, grabs the wheel with both hands, floors it producing a cloud of black smoke and pulls over so far he catches the shoulder which vibrates the car so bad that it reveals the gangster white walls are about to fall off
