Don't pickup me in !!!!

Stopped for a Bar-B-Que this a.m. . Joint is in an old service station building. I parked on the outside of the pump island. When I returned there was a pickup on the curb blocking me in front and another blocking me in the rear. WHAT TO DO NOW ??
I turned her around (one forward and two backups) and slid out by the rear blocker.
Let's see the big boys do that.

didnt have a camera and always forget about the one on the cell

That's classic. I got blocked in by two pickups poised for a chat, in a roundabout one day. I did a 3 point turn in the roundabout and went around them. The topic of their conversation changed.

I'd be willing to bet if you park there again Don, You would get blocked again. This time bring your camera. Did your wife know you took her car to the BBQ place?

Three point turn? I back out of the garage and turn the wheel full until my back tires are near the edge of the driveway and I'm perpendicular. I turn the wheel to the other extent and I drive out my driveway forward. I love my Smart! My 2-point turn?
