You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

But did he? Or did he just pull two tickets but only pay for one when he left? Almost all the paid for parking around me charges you when you leave not when you arrive.

LOL!  I'm more focused on the two adjacent vehicles which are clearly ON and/or OVER the lines.

Owned both an M3 and M5 back in 2001.  They aren't lying, "The Ultimate Driving Machine".

No freaking way would I park between two cars.  Would rather pay double the price for parking than have some irresponsible Never Trumper ding my sides.    :laugh:

Like I said, never had that problem... most of my life I drove a jacked up hillbilly calico pickup. Not just huge, but the hillbilly calico let it be known that I don't give a shit. So I park where I want. And if there ain't a spot, I make one. And anyplace so busy the parking lot is full ain't a place I want to be. Heck, the only place I go that gets like that is Wally World, and I look to see how bad it is coming in... If it's bad, I drive on by, and go another time.

I can't hear well enough  to understand what he said.

Would someone be kind enough  to post his words here on this link and ping me to them?

BTW,I am a HUGE fan of Norm McDonald!

The 2000 M5 was at the time, the fastest PRODUCTION car on the planet.  0-60 in 4.6 and then stop on a dime.

There is absolutely nothing like downshifting into 3rd gear at 85mph and then getting thrown back into your seat by G forces. 

The 99 M3 was my toy, but like you said...it cost me a lot of $$$ to keep it in "new" condition.
Sold it 20 years too soon.   :laugh:

The finest automobile I've ever owned, and likely will ever own, was a 1986 SAAB 900S. I sold it (gave) to my BIL because he (allegedly) needed a car. That car had 339,000 miles on it when I sold it and still ran like a Swiss watch. Other than routine maintenance, the only thing I ever did to it was replace a warped brake rotor.  The only other thing SAAB made at that time was fighter aircraft for NATO and that definitely carried over to the cars. I wish I could find one like it today. @DCPatriot

My brother-in-law at the time, had a beautiful pearl white 1980 with beige leather interior...with NO A/C!!  Did yours?

It was brutal in the Washington muggy Summers, but gorgeous car.

Saab's downfall began when General Motors took over.  I have owned one Chevy in my life (a '69 C-10 shortbed).  And I will never own another.  Ever.  GM is the polar opposite of 'quality'.
