She was bitching about the design of the lot, which I can agree, is horrible. I worked in the EBGames in that plaza for 5 years. I rolled over the curb twice: once when I couldn’t see it because of snow, and once when some shithead (male) in an SUV wasn’t paying attention coming out of the parking lot and cut his turn to close. The lot was not designed for the amount of traffic that it handles today, and that is the biggest problem with it. On that side of the lot, there’s barely enough room for 2 cars to get through… and if you get an SUV or two with bad drivers… forget it. I’m with Fuzzy though, I always wanted to see them put the boulder back, it was great entertainment. But I think Benderson got threatened with a lawsuit :gotme: ---

Paint the boulder flourecent Orange, also you can have any rocks manuments or statues on private property, whether they are for show or for some other purpose, the only limitation is that you dont get any personal gain from it. They cant sue him for having a boulder there. Well they could, but theyd most likely lose, unless you get that hot coffe lady from mcdonalds to hit it ---

some reflectors or some bright orange poles would be good… just an inexpensive way to get people to be more aware of that curb placement. > [@MonteCarloChick](#): > > Jan, you should’ve known not to post this on here… :meh: and that’s too bad isn’t it… that I should’ve known not to post an event that I want to discuss on a car forum. and wow, it even had to do with VEHICLES. holy shit. … I’m still kinda sad that no one’s said anything about the Jeep thing. 😢 ---

I dont dissagree that it is a shitty parkinglot…its a mess. I just think the entire point of this thread is retarded, although I did get a good laugh out of it…as did many others. ---

> [@HotRodKid](#): > > but no points for you, you still had the car repaired at the dealer … Na, points for me. you have no idea what connections I have or how much it cost to get the work done there vs. other places. yeah I’d prefer to get everything done at Hybrid but I was told the last time that they didn’t have the proper tools for the wheel bearing. so northtown it was. the price was right and the rental was an added bonus. I took him in on Thursday and they had my car back to me Monday. I say that’s a good deal. :2fingers: ---

truth. no patience, not enough time. I know little about cars so it’d be silly to attempt to repair and axle and wheel bearing. the rear brakes I could do … possibly. :shrug: I’d much rather get an A on my anatomy test and get a good job next year because I put in 100% effort now. I’m sure if any of you were fortunate enough to be able to do whatever you wanted with your time, you would. ---
