Second Law of Parking is ... "Whenever possible get a place against an esplanade and park as close as you can without rubbing your tires or wheels."  LOL

True. But the wife always shoots me a dirty look when I ask her to exit the vehicle so I can park.

Oh yea!  I've seen that look when I ask mine to use the door handles instead of the window frame to open and close the doors.
Man, if looks could kill...  :brick:

Oh I get the look from almost everyone when I tell them not to slam the door when the close it!  I am amazed how many people think you have to slam the door to close it all the way...it drives me crazy!

As long as the doors are "well-hung" and do not have a door latch problem ...

After years of thinking about this it's my feeling that slamming the doors will eventually lead to problems requiring the doors to be slammed to close completely. I first noticed this with the side sliding doors in vans and minivans.

I am thinking of making a shrine for my SHO.  This is just a very rough idea I made up on power point.  It will be maybe 18 X 24.  I hope to use the full size originals of cert and graph.  Maybe an 8 X 10 (or a few smaller ones to show angles) glossy pic. (not that one) With a real emblem right off the actual SHO and a 12 sec slip(?).  Might have to go bigger. Matted and under glass with a nice frame.  I'll save it for my grandson.

What color complement green gem for what? Another color paint to do a two tone theme? Decals? ...
That green is unique is hard to match with another color. I can only think of black, silver or white for the moment.
Red would be like Christmas, yellow like the Packers, etc. Lol

Finally getting my SHO fender "vents" tomorrow.  They just went through the Oak Creek facility.  Took a week to get them.  2nd day delivery.  Too be fair, they were quoted to arrive between yesterday and tomorrow so they did arrive within that window.  After finally deciding to get them after six months of pondering, I wanted them NOW.  Pictures coming! Here is a teaser.
