Pam and I went downtown for our 13th anniversary last Saturday night, drove the TR4 though the top stayed up thanks to scattered showers. Because we're a couple of The Beautiful People, the hostess c

Steve......asparagus soup and then peanut butter/chocolate ice cream? No wonder you were upset. That's as bad as watching a friend consume a bowl of split pea soup and follow it with a chocolate mal

I would park the car around the corner or sit in the back of the restaurant so I could enjoy my dinner with my SO without watching and worrying about people who can't parallel park. But then again, I

As the Dinner was a special occasion, I think I'd have parked the car in the flower bed by the main entrance. After all, you could always blame it on brake failure and the cost of replacing the flow

Steven, I've been driving these LBC's since my first TR3A in 1966 and the threat of serious front and rear bumper/body damage has not diminished. In the 1960's, these cars were simply no match for ev

Happy anniversary Steven! Somewhere down the road, I think the vast majority of people in this country lost any respect for the property of others. San's Honda has dings all over it from errant shopp

I agree with Kurtis. Few Americans have any value for your car. For about 95-97%, cars are throw away items to be replaced when needed. The other mad 3-5% chat on boards like this. As you all know, c

I agree with Kurtis. Our cars are narrow enough that most times when parallel parked adjacent car doors don't reach them and, in general, the potential for damage is much more limited with a door ope

Must be a difference in terminology here ... to me, "parallel parking" is parking nose-to-tail, parallel to a curb (along the street). Sounds like you're talking about right angle parking in a parkin

That's what it's always meant. It is a lost art, or skill, or whatever. Nobody knows how to do it, what it is. Pull up to a curbside parking space in traffic around here and the car behind you pulls

They sell "backup alarms" now that sound an alarm when your back bumper gets too close to something. One on each end (front and back), wired to a loud siren, might do some good. OTOH, I was once wal
