    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    This is correct. Though, turning your wheels doesn't make a lot of sense anymore as most cars are automatic transmissions and the car would be in park anyways.
    I think the third animation is pretty funny though. I get it....if all fails the car will roll off into the bushes instead of oncoming traffic. Though that might be scary if mom and kid in a stroller is walking by at the time! :lol:

    Yeah, I guess it is downhill a little bit. Hard to tell with the photo angle in this pic.

    if y'all want me to say, "my mistake for choosing the wrong photo i will" my mistake, it won't happen again!

    also, those who park on a level surface & cramp the wheel should be thrown to the ground, yes/no? :lol:

    You drive a large rig right? You probably see it all in terms of terrible parking and driving. What does cramp the wheel mean?

    Yes . . unless your car is so effed up that it will roll away regardless.

    Now that we've established the
    'level ground' criteria,
    I am in agreement:
    when I park in my garage,
    no matter how many little tweaks I make to the wheel,
    I straighten them out.
    Then again,
    I also set my P brake,
    but that's another issue.

    As for the unpleasant number on the volume readout...
    ...
    ... THAT is some next level thinking, my friend.
    23, 17... is it a prime number issue?

    Cheers.

    i like how you wrote this :lol: it's a poem of sorts
    prime numbers are cool in & of themselves. the problem i guess is that i have a bit OCD or something. i understand & accept my ADHD bullshit so my answer to you is that i am an ass who goes overboard a bit with certain things such as volume readouts, cramped steering tires, & that i can lie in bed & count & recount the square framework inside my bedroom windows... one square, two square, three square, four

    a parked car's wheels aren't straight. this person must be out of their bloody tree, yes/no? i of course am clearly out of mine :lol:

    You can tell, at least I can ;) . Look at the rooftops (trained fireman, part of my job getting from roof to roof) on the left side. They look like they're steps. Plus check the apartment building at the end of the block, notice the windows. You wouldn't see them that way if the street was level :ugeek: .
    So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)

    I suggest you step out on your Porch.
    Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!

    mathematically one's wheels should be locked dead center unless said car is resting in park on a incline in downtown seattle

    today in the parking lot at work I saw an older Jeep parked with a brick wedged in behind the rear driver's side tire. There is a bit of a slope to the lot and I am glad I am not parked anywhere behind it.

    ...at least I think I am not :problem:
