In the interests of fair reporting

I emerged from the shops this afternoon to discover The Catmobile flanked by two 4WDs. But, since all three of us parked within the lines I had no trouble getting myself in, and apart from a minor issue of blindness on both sides, I had plenty of room to get out.

So, apart from the minor issue of vehicle selection error, 4WD drivers are occasionally capable of reasonable behaviour.

Clearly you were not in Claremont Nedlands or Cottesloe ....

Hell no. That would have stretched my sunny outlook on life way too far.

I always go a bit sweary about how you can't see past them. Backing out of parking spots is annoying. My pet hate is waiting to turn left onto a main road, and a 4WD pulls up next to you, waiting to turn right. So you can't see a thing, and you can't creep out onto a main road to see if it is safe to go, so you have to sit there until the 4WD gets enough space to turn right. Then the usual thing is another 4WD pulls up to turn right, and then I go a bit more sweary...and so on...

*sigh* I was trying to be nice, but I just can't keep up the pretence. They're all monsters.

Hey! I drive a 4WD! :p

(okay, okay, I'm a bad example. My 4WD is smaller than my previous car, turns on a dime, has the same fuel economy as my previous car - a 1995 Daewoo hatchback - and I can't STAND seeing ultra-shiny massive 4WDs that have never seen a speck of mud in their lives).
