Scary in Philly

Neutral & Detached
I'm visiting my eldest in Philly and watching the parking habits here. I've come to the conclusion that I'd hate to be a detailer in Philly. The streets are very narrow and of course parking is parallel.
I've watched a couple of cars park and it was Bang - bump the car bumper behind; Bang - bump the bumper in front; Voila! You're parked.
Made me wince.
 
I deal with that all the time. Philly is one of the country's oldest cities. Many roads were built before cars, that's the main problem. Second is people just don't care. A few years ago I got in a nasty fight over a person gouging my bumpers. The lady saw nothing wrong with it. Thank god for her insurance. Now I take the subway when possible it saves my bumpers. If you park I'd say it is about a 75% chance your car will be f'd up when you return.

Good man!
I had a guy back into my door and put a nice dent in it. After a few words I realized I was wasting my time talking to him so I grabbed him by the collar and head first I shoved him into the dented door. As he sat there crumbled and dazed against my door I kicked him over on his side.I said to the guy it was no big deal and drove off.:passout:
 
When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was gonna be about the Eagles and the smart move Andy Reid made to lose to the Ravens last week. :D

I've never been there but, from what I keep hearing about their football fans, I don't think I'll be visiting anytime soon. :yikes:

I agree totally Troy. Now is not the time to come here. The fans are starting to become quite enraged and violent. After the game there were reports of many fights at local bars and taverns. The last 2 Birds games will be discussed for many, many years to come.:wall It is so strange for me when I go to other NFL stadiums I don't see people getting thrown down the stairs. Yes, it's a disgrace I'll be the first to admit.
 
This was several years ago but a friend of mine was waiting for his wife at a parking lot and this guy in a Cadillac pulls in the space beside of him.

The guy opens his door and slams it into the side of his new Chevrolet.
My friend got out and saw the dent in the door and said something to the guy in the Caddy and he said it is a small dent and besides it is just a Chevy.
My friend turned around and Mule kicked the Caddy and put a HUGE dent in the door and said Now you SOB we are even.
His wife showed up and they left the guy never said a word.
