NAM-approved MINI Single-Spot Park Job?

Proof that I don't ALWAYS take two spots when the right opportunity presents itself!

OMG - you BACKED in! How thoughtless! How rude!

If only all parking spots were like that - I'd rest easier. :smile:

Your place

Great spot! Now after a few years of tree growth, it'll be shaded parking! Found a similar place in Evergreen, Colorado, but it was being used by several motorcycles. Just missed it.

Now it raises the question who in their right mind makes a single parking spot?

Can you imagine a parking lot full of those. Better yet, have the spots narrow enough to not fit an SUV.

Which reminds me of a funny story. Back in the day a relative of mine bought himself a 4-Runner. All the bells and whistles, 4wd, etc. The only time he used the 4wd option in the 4 year he owned it was to drive over a curb to get to a parking spot in a busy lot. Mind you, the curb was about as high as the one in Zen's picture.

Every parking lot needs a spot like that, for a MINI.

Looks like some idiots with big cars tried to fit in there, notice the tire rub marks on the curb!

Well, at first she appeared to be genetically predisposed to two-spot parking like her father . . .

But, after extensive postpartum sensitivity training, she seems to be progressing well . . .
