I've got a garage (hint, hint) ... too bad the Expedition parks there and I'm out in the street. Maybe that sign would help.

What do you use a paint stencil for ... to make a sign!
I'll send it to you after I make my sign.

What about where you work? Do you have a usual parking space? It would be cool to turn it into a MINI-ONLY spot!

So I'm not the only one with a MINI and a mean, inconsiderate, dangerous, greedy, compensating-for-size, overweight, road hog Expedition SUV. I'm glad to hear it!
