If it runs, you can take it to the train station! Who cares if it has no roof and it’s 40 degrees outside?!? Also a red X5M.

Well... At least it has a plate.

Maybe his DD is broken and/or in the shop - it still beats walking!

Also: the X5M is so hilariously unnecessary, I find the X6M even more funny.

I’m sure people say that when they see me parked at the train station.

You DD a classic mini? I didn’t know that. I did that for 7 months and it was a very pleasant experience. Much more pleasant than my current one.

I am seeing exactly one compact in that picture. It’s red.

I’m thinking the Honda actually is classed as a ‘compact’ when they have stuff like these roaming the roads.

Unrelated question: do you find the V1 less and less useful these days? There are so many cars on the road now with collision-avoidance tech that sets off mine... I would disable x-band but I can’t because my local PD uses it. I had to disable laser it was driving me crazy. I’m all but done with it.

Fair point.

We obviously don’t have ‘compact only’ parking spaces, but if we did a car like a Golf wouldn’t qualify.

No, that’s what I drive to work when my DD is in the shop. :)

My DD was in the bodyshop for almost three months, so I drove the Mini whenever it rained - so I probably got a lot of those “Why is he driving that to work?” comments.

Funny thing is, I’ll wonder why most people are driving such unnecessarily large cars to work. If you have a family, fine. Being single, I love my small cars purely for the agility and the fact that you can push them a bit compared to larger, more powerful cars.

Fortunately, my local PD all use Ka band. And if I’m on the highway, I always keep an eye out for random brake lights up ahead, which almost always gives away the position of a hidden cop.

In the U.K. we only have compact parking spaces only we don’t call them ‘compact’, they just are. Ye’, I think a Golf or a Focus would be borderline.

One day a guy I know who has a three door Ford Fiesta ST3, all the cars were parked in the centre of their spaces and I couldn’t get the door open enough to get in the car. It’s ridiculous.

I love when people pass me on highways and are going faster. It’s like “awesome you go check for cops man, and I’ll come by later”.

Whooohooohoooo

In some cases, yes: there is a Lamborghini LM002 listed on Autotrader in my area. I would love to drive this around as a big middle finger to everyone else around me, but it costs more than my house.

Is it legal to block characters on your plate with stickers like this?
