I only made it to the third question of this interview, and felt it needed a link here on Oppo.

Let’s just put it here:
3. (Lisa de Pasquale) If you could be paid to do anything besides your current job, what would it be?
( Mike Rowe ) The other day, I was trying to find a place to park at the mall. It was packed, and I noticed a late-model Mercedes occupying two spaces. I felt a weird level of annoyance that didn’t pass nearly as soon as I would have expected. In fact, it’s metastasized, and ever since, I’ve been imagining a job wherein I am empowered to cruise around San Francisco in an old Town and Country station wagon - the ones that used to have real lumber on the sides - and drive head long into poorly parked, late-model vehicles, crunching them back into the single space where they belong. I suppose that’s petty, and probably indicative of some deep-seated psychological issue. But honestly, aside from closing the skills gap, I can think of nothing more gratifying. As for money, I’d be content with the minimum wage. In fact, I’d pay to do it.

That’s a great answer, but I’d choose some big-ass lifted bro truck with an import car crusher on the front.

So awesome! I saw this earlier and though it was oppo worthy.

That is a foolish idea. You need a old F350 or C30 with a push bar on the front, dual wheels, and a big engine with low gearing.
That way you’d have the traction & torque to get the job done, and not destroy your own vehicle after only a few dozen moved cars.

That’s the practical thing, but I like the imagery of an old Town and Country swerving from Prius to Prius.

Is it just me or does this happen to you not infrequently?

It is just you - when you posted it wasn’t working. It’s working now but I’m too lazy to ninja edit my shit.
