I'm not sure what the difference between a ******* ski rack and a normal ski rack is, but I'm pretty sure it's just a normal ski rack.

Shouldve left a note on their car telling that there is enough space to park a foot away from you.

Funny you mentioned that. I also took a picture of the VIN if the driver left leaving a scratch on my side, came back out for my break after a few hours and the LEXUS finally moved. Not too far, but the car still took two spots. I should have taken a picture of its parking job!

I was kind of peeking out the third flood building facing the lot and hoped I spot the person driving it. I always carry a Schrader valve remover and I was hesitant to let the air out and leave two of its tires flat. I didn't because the structure to the right in the picture is a security tower with a camera that monitors the parking lot

Thank you.

Lol, so can I start another "What oil should I use thread?" but just toss in a picture of my girlfriend and all will be forgiven?


I'm still looking for a good spot to take pictures of my Eight w/ my girlfriend. I guess I could always throw up a few pictures of just her on the only girlfriend/wives thread?
