I'm glad the smart is not long, I'm not going to have to drive all the way up to the stop to make sure that I'm not sticking my rear end out where it shouldn't be. (SUVs = )

With a smart you try and line yourself (drivers door) with the other cars rear door so your not to far in and can be seen bu other looking for a spot.

I did the same thing many years ago with an Audi Fox. It resulted in $300 of damage. The spaces to both the left and right of mine had no concrete stop. I assumed mine didn't as well -- wrong! I've never made that mistake again.

No matter how careful you are, any car is going to acquire dings and scratches etc. whether your fault or someone else's. Could even happen if you leave the car in your garage and never drive it. I once had a Mazda RX-7 wherein the front hood was right next to the washing machine in our garage and family members would put baskets of clothes on the hood because it was so handy. I didn't realize this until it was too late and ended up with a myriad of scratches on the hood that wouldn't buff out.

Lucky NCC, livin' it up in that humid climate...

I remember NCC said something about people going swimming when there's warnings telling them not to, no I'm not like that. I may be a little lienient about water quality but if there are issues that can cause injury, death, or sickness, I'll just find another body of water to swim in.

Neon...stay out of the water when you see red flags...
