Ok, so I bought my first hoe a few months back, but with traveling and other reasons, I haven't had the time to take it into NY (gf's apt).
So, today was the maiden voyage with the inevitable parking coming up. For those that live or have parked in NY, people lovingly "bump" your car to make sure they're in the spot...my last car (Pontiac Grand Prix) was destroyed over time with people bumping my plastic bumpers.
Knowing this, i bought a '99 b/c of the nice big metal bumpers...AND an extendable trailer hitch and big ol' grill guard for extra protection
Well, what do you know...as i'm unloading my hoe, the first contestant comes up to the plate. SHE asks if i'm pulling out and i let her know i'm staying...this is where the fun begins.
She then decides she is going to stick her semi brand new plastic bumper econo box car into a space made for a motorcycle. A sedan on one side and my hoe on the other.
As i'm sure you can guess, she drives straight into the back of my hoe and i hear a crunch. I think to myself, sounds like she actually pierced her plastic radiator with the trailer hitch. Lucky for her, just the bumper.
At this point i think to myself..."good, she realizes her car doesn't fit and she just damaged it, she'll look for another spot" - as you can guess, not the case.
She then proceeds to hit the trailer hitch 4...yes 4....more times and finally jams her car in the spot.
Moral of the story - no matter how big your steel bumpers, grill guards, or bumper/radiator destroying trailer hitch...people are going to hit your prized posession and damage theirs at any cost.
Ok, i'm done. I just laughed my ass off everytime my hoe shook as i was getting groceries out of the back seat. Oh yeah...she was hitting my car as I was unloading it.
