Did you drive it to Bell Square, or down 45th in Wallingford? Otherwise, you're fine.

5. I drove one, too, but only once, because it was a big hassle
getting someone else to parallel park it for me. :P

9. I didn't have much of a choice.
Still waiting to get my car back, and MrSG was delivering a wedding cake, so he borrowed his brother's SUV. I needed to go to the store, and that was the only vehicle in the driveway. Thank God I didn't have to parallel park!

12. Like parking a ship in a bathtub.
That's how it is when I drive my mother-in-law's Volvo. All those Volvo-ish right-angles make me nervous. :scared:

29. I think I'm becoming safety-conscious in my middle age.
The other day, my friend Davide and I flew to Geneva on a commuter flight, and can you believe this crap????? He totally ignored the flight attendant's safety demonstration, and didn't even _glance_ at the printed safety materials in the pocket of the seat in front of him. :scared: If we had crashed over the Alps, I would had to save both his sorry ass and my own. :rofl: :spray:

25. I know where that is.
I asked because my dad was from Arkansas. Oil Trough, to be exact, though he grew up in Newark. I lived there when I was in 1st grade.

28. I Don't Know Where Either Of Those Places are
I'm a transplant. I know Little Rock, Fort Smith, and the Northwest area.

But the rest of the state is somewhat of a mystery to me.- especially the south and eastern parts.

36. Okay, Near Batesville, And I Presume Jonesboro
I almost went to work in Jonesboro years ago.

My wife didn't want to go there. I thought it was a cool town and was close to Memphis.

We stayed in Ft. Smith.

Can I be exonerated if I say that I usually drive fewer than 500 miles per month?

52. I *OWN* an SUV.
That baby gets 16mpg, less if she's towing a gas-guzzling boat.

It does have a DU (and other liberal stickers), though.
