Finally the new season is upon us.  I will start right off the bat - no pun intended for baseball fans, but I love the New England Patriots.  On paper they look like they cant’ be beat and with Tom Brady as the QB, Bill Belichick as the head coach I feel pretty confident. 

I am sure I will have lots to post on this as the season moves along so keep looking and send in your comments

I have been waiting a long time to find the right place to vent about idiot drivers. They come in all types - automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles. Besides stupidity, they all have some common traits. My all time favorite stereotypes are listed below, but feel free to comment about any I may have missed or list your favorite “parked” driver.

“Macho Man”
Macho Man is the guy in the big truck, usually it’s a Ford F150, but can come in other varieties such as Tundra, and GM. So what are Macho Man’s characteristics? You’re driving at a good clip in the fast lane, but Macho Man still barrels down the highway like they are the only one on the road. They have a mission and it’s to get there 7 seconds before you or at least be in front! They want you out of their way so they try to intimidate you out of the lane by driving so close to your bumper, you think they are going to rear end you. They push you into driving fast or moving over because Macho Man has some place to go and they “gotta” get there first/fast.

“Pre-Madonnas”
Pre-Madonnas are the ones who just don’t look. You know them. They have a cell phone attached to their ear, or they are constantly brushing their hair. They cut you off, try to run you over and narrowly avoid getting you killed all the while chatting away. “Oops, I was supposed to stop – oh well, no one got killed, chuckle, chuckle”. Pre-Madonna’s are sometimes know as “airheads” and are not gender specific.

“The Tailer” (AKA The Gator)
The tailgater is the one that gets me the most, since I am on guard for the Macho Man and the Pre-Madonna. If I am traveling 80 MPH the tailgater is right behind me. They don’t want to go around you, because they are comfortable traveling at 79.9 MPH and 3 inches from your rear end. Speeding up doesn’t slow them down, pumping the breaks is just a light show and raising your hand in the air means hello. They are PARKED, and shouldn’t be able to get out of the lot.

This is not final comment on this topic, but enough to get me started. I’ll have plenty more to say since like most of us I drive the roads everyday. For now all I can say is………if I were a cop everyone one of those id10ts would get a ticket.

This is the first of many posts or rants from the lot.  We have a lot to say because people give us new material every day.  We will be venting about how people can be so parked in this world.

Hopefully you’ll find these posts amusing, can relate to some, and comment with some of your own experiences.  If you really appreciate reading them, feel free to buy us a pint or t-shirt (coming soon).

Thanks for stopping by the parking lot.
