Some days, you're better off just staying in bed...
 
Trouble is, you don't know the day.

Got a text from a co-worker yesterday, an old lady driver at Ste. Catherine and Greene Ave. parallel parked herself into a new GT3 (!)

Don't have pics, but apparently it was quite the spectacle.

Hope was no-one here or in RSR, but well, it probably is.

:surr:

OUCH! Considering that neck of the woods, I hope she wasn't driving a G-Vagon. Lets hope it's the kind of thing that Dwane can buff out, if not, it's time for a weekend at RennSpa!

That's gotta suck
Proof once again that the terms "old lady" and "parallel parking" often ends in trouble

Hey, it's Westmount! Nobody knows how to parallel park in Westmount!:rolleyes:

Westmount'rs must be the worst drivers and parkers in the world, particularly the old ladies in the C Class cars or the younger ones in the Range Rovers which makes them king of the road automatically!

I live in the neighbourhood, and I RARELY take my 911 for domestic shopping sprees. I have parked on Green, but carefully, and always at one end of a line of cars, never between cars.

Our 99 year old aunt often took her Chrysler to the hairdresser. If she could not find a space directly in front of the salon,, she would return home and call a taxi. She lived in the 4300!

More than the geezers, I fear the spoiled young Moms, driving Escalades, Cayennes, Range Rovers, etc.
Somehow, red nails, gum chewing, and iPhones tend to affect their parking skills!

Easy Lappy.... My wife drives a Range Rover :)

Lots of entitlement and general douchery in the west end.

I work in the general area and shake my head at the Bentley crowd, quite entertaining. Lots of ladies who lunch too, nails, gum chewing, Texas hair and all.

Whatever.

Quite the rant :roflmao:

I don't reproach anyone for enjoying nice things. If you got 'em, smoke 'em.

:cheers:

But I can't abide the entitlement evident in the double-parking, idling in a handicapped spot, yacking on the cell phone while driving, etc.

If you can afford a $200,000 car to get to your lunch appointment, at least USE THE F'N EXPENSIVE BLINKERS TO SIGNAL YOUR LANE CHANGES.

:evilgrin:

Guess I am getting cranky. Sorry.

I was down in that area earlier... Now I figured out where Bentley sold all those Bentayga's

Wow. Some pretty angry comments here. I smell some ragers.

The roads alone in Montreal will tear your poor p-car apart,

If you think westmounters are lousy drivers. Then take a trip to mainland China. Traffic lights are purely decorative there. As are pedestrians,.. The food or bugs won't kill you but the drivers just might ..
