vladinecko · 01-06-2006, 03:54 PM

rossmelvin · 01-06-2006, 04:18 PM

how close is it? has any done it

canucklion · 01-06-2006, 04:23 PM

and this got something to do with the E90's, how?

rossmelvin · 01-06-2006, 04:25 PM

I WAS WORRIED THAT I MIGTH DO IT! also to ask if the e90 will do it if u pull up to far :mad:.........learn to read

canucklion · 01-06-2006, 04:27 PM

is there more to it than "don't park too close to those things?????????"

canucklion · 01-06-2006, 04:51 PM

this thread is utterly DUMB, there I've said it, sorry for being mean
just use some common sense when parking your car

and yes, I'll learn to read once you've learned how to form proper sentences.

rossmelvin · 01-06-2006, 04:59 PM

sry( 2 u too), thax at some of the places i have to park for work i have to pull up really far or i will have to get a new bumper with all of the truck and tractors, etc.

UncleWede · 01-06-2006, 07:28 PM

Back into the spots. No problems with clearance that way, plus safer when you go to leave.

Lost Rider · 01-06-2006, 07:59 PM

Wow.

LEDZEP · 01-06-2006, 08:01 PM

I find absolutely nothing in this thread that resembles the English language.

Chesmu · 01-06-2006, 10:13 PM

hey canucklion, do you use very rough toilet paper? And no, my question has nothing to do with the E90.

then ask it in the OffTopic section? is this a hard concept for you to comprehend?
This section: E90-related
OffTopic: off topic
yes? no?

I think this topic is interesting because this is the first car that I've had to worry about hitting the parking space "stop blocks". My previous cars cleared them but I've already scraped the underside of my front apron...luckily my car is black and it isn't noticeable. I've also noticed that some stop blocks are taller than others and it's impossible for me to judge...so I just stop short or back in.

ha ha. i didn't even notice how bad it was until i re-read it. i guess after a while you just learn how to read and pick out the meaning of basically any text that has some form of english words in it

human · 01-07-2006, 02:02 PM

I'd like to submit an "on-topic" reply if that's okay.

I pulled over a parking "block" about 3 days after buying my car. The concrete block wasn't very smooth, and chewed the underside of the front bumper pretty badly (although you had to look underneath the bumper to notice anything, it was killing me!). So OF COURSE I had to take my car back to the dealership, where they touched up the damage including airbrushing it. The $150 cost was well worth it to have my car "perfect" again!

Now when I park, I stay away from those concrete blocks! This car is very low and needs to be kept away from all curbs, really (also with the low-profile tires).

Scott Carpenter · 01-07-2006, 02:02 PM

That avatar you have is just wrong. Hard to even read your posts, because i have to look at it.

I remember a while back a couple of members complained about scraping the bottom of their front bumpers on "a park stop thing" and pavement curbs.

What is a "parking stoper?"
