So true! Some people just can't stand for others to have something nice.

Bet where you are from, summer is probably a bit easier to do that than now! I grew up in Buffalo, winter was the worse for that kind of guarding activity!

Marauder girl watching is more of a summer thing but at my age (56) it's ok if they smile & wave.

I also have to fold in the mirrors to get in the garage. I can actually get it in without but I have like an inch on both side, too close to try to do it everyday. As for parking, try a cc longbox with a plow on the front,

I always back in to the space when parking, especially after my insurance agent told me that any time you are backing up in a parking lot you would be at fault if there was an accident.

I'm getting a bit more exercise
I am doing more "drive thoroughs" in parking lots - saving money by not being able to stop

You'd be at fault if you drove out of 'your' parking spot into the path of normal traffic in the lot too...

I think the point is that he could see better while driving out of a spot rather than backing it out, therefore negating the likelihood of backing out into something or someone.
