Labeled with a sign reading:
Underendowment Overcompensation section

Maybe we can get it into zoning ordinances.:)

2. Other way around
Make larger parking spots available for average cars.

Keep the current size spots for SUVs only, or nip off a few inches when re-painting the lines. O8) That way they are the onlyones who get dented, not the rest of us. :D

3. A special "Tax Dodgers" section for twice the price.
That should make them feel special.

8. We could add that
Tax Dodgers' Underendowment Overcompensation section

I wonder if anybody actually reads the message section?

Why bother?

5. They're a hazard
I've complained to the manager of the local supermarket because you get surrounded by SUVs and can't see when you back out. Basically you pray you don't get hit or run over a senior citizen.

He agreed but couldn't do anything because of fear of offending a particular group of vehicle owners. After all, America doesn't believe in segregation.

6. One day one of those monsters
pulled in next to me while I was on an errand, and came so close to my car I could not open the door on the driver's side to get in. I had to get in through the passenger door and crawl over. I can only imagine the brainless moron behind the wheel.

7. If SUV Only spaces existed, and if I drove a Mini-Cooper, I'd park in 'em!
Why not -- anyone for "turnabout?"

Sounds fair to me! :evilgrin:

10. Thanks for actually reading the post anyway
Tragic lack of grasp of the meaning of ellipses around here, apparently
