wrighterjw10 · 01-11-2013, 01:18 PM

sillieidiot · 01-11-2013, 01:23 PM

Wonder how the car would be able to tell between handicap spots and regular.

Wonder how the car would be able to tell a space is a parking space as opposed to well, some area that doesn't have anything in it.

Instruct to park on sidewalk. Blame car when ticketed.

That moment when you step out of the door, notice that your phone's battery is dead and you have no ****ing idea where your car is.
