Answer to the parking problem...

No more door dings.

Now I've just got to get a Trunk Monkey to jump out and set them up for me whenever I feel it's necessary.

Well,I guess It'd have to be a "Hatch Monkey"...

Ha, ha, you'd get more than door dings if you tried to set that up in a real parking lot somewhere- like putting a bullseye on your car.

Pretty funny though.

Use crime scene tape instead of caution. Just a thought.

Those cones would be kind of a pain to carry around!

A couple piles of that fake rubber dog crap placed is a couple strategic areas may work just as good.

Actually ,when I got to work this morning,the cones and a roll of caution tape was sitting in the shop from a Chevron job we just did,and I got the bright (?) idea to set up a shot.

Seemed funny @ 6am this morning

I would never do anything like that for "real"

Unless I could get some tape that said "GET THE F--- AWAY FROM MY CAR !

Then I might consider it.....

(You know,that fake dog poop idea actually might work...)
