Horrible parking civics

Haha, I think that's the silver SUV showing through the rear window of the Civic.

Oh. Yeah, could be. Hard to tell on my phone here. I still like my bird shit theory. I know they sure like my car.

California has this queer thing where they don't have to have plates on cars with temp plates. Which has always made no sense to me.

In Alabama you have about a month to get a plate for your new car.

lol wtf. anyway yeah here in CA you just get dealer plates with their location... but my plates arrived in less then 2 weeks

Lol I love how we don't get our license plate right away. I used the toll road for free every other day (didn't want to get carried away) lmao

Why not? It's just a couple of screws. Dont give the po-po any extra excuse to mess with ya. You never know which police man is having a bad day.

hhaha nice! once i drove to laguna beach from riverside and there was no way around a toll road.. it was about 1am no cars anywhere in sigh and i always carry a screwdriver so long story short i took both plates off and drove past it lol. turns out the one day pass is only 2$ so i should have just paid lol

Seconded. I second it? I've never written that out...

Anyways I purchased a civic 2 months ago and I am still waiting on plates. Also AutoNation is the worst dealer ive stepped foot into but I won't rant.

I don't know what it is about this car, but I have a hard time seeing the lines and centering the car. I'm usually within the lines, but not perfectly center like my ooooooold Accord.

Me too. Especially when backing into a spot, it's never straight. My old CL backs in straight as an arrow. Strange.

 

[Boz]

I agree. My 2016 Civic is a lot harder to park straight and centered than my 2010 Mazda 5 and 2001 Accord were.

Uhmmm...how is that possible? You might wanna get with them, because it's illegal to go that long without tags no matter what the excuse is. The police can write you a ticket. You could possibly beat the ticket in court, but that's a freaking hassle. I don't know what this Autonation is, but you need to call them and tell them to get your tags to you by tomorrow. Sometimes you kinda have to be a dick to get through to some people. If they start giving you the run around, tell them your gonna make a YouTube video extolling their wonderful virtues along with calling the Better Business Bureau and the local DMV to report them. They might respond that they dont care, but they do.

What? they didn't want anyone to hit their Lambo I mean Civic lol.

Back when I was a cube monkey, a new employee (a lawyer ...) parked his brand new white car (a Camaro? not sure) diagonally - DIAGONALLY - across two spaces in our very small parking lot on his FIRST DAY at work. The very next day, he was side-swiped on his way to work and got in 3 hours late. Not to say there was schadenfreude, but the problem wasn't the car or the desire to protect it, it was, and is, the gigantic ego of someone thinking that the rules of civilized social behavior apply only to others. I actually think that getting a tiny - really tiny - little ding on a new car takes the pressure off. I got mine - a scrape on the plastic wing mirror - and fixed it invisibly with the Honda paint pen. I'm not saying I don't try really, really hard not to let my gorgeous Burgundy Night Peal EXL get damaged, but I am not as anxious and sweaty while parking as I used to be.And I do still have trouble judging the parking space - as others have commented - after all, my last car was the 2002 Civic. Big diff. No complaints.
