You must park on the street. I have a driveway. I couldn't use tires
that only go in one direction.

Sure you could. The tires only go in one direction at a time.

No, he's right. If someone ever gets his car stuck like this, he can
lengthen the driveway and make it circular. They have 24-hour paving
companies for that reason.

After they told me I was no longer welcome at school, I began flashing
my diploma so people would know I'd been honorably discharged.
Everybody thought I'd be perfect in the heat-treating pit at a knife
plant. All day long, I'd load about 1600 pounds of blades onto a
300-pound cart, push them up a steep concrete ramp, and unload them.

A lot of cars didn't weigh much more than my loaded cart. When somebody
parked in my way and I couldn't get the door open, I'd pick it up and
move it. I had a little secret: don't try to pick up both ends at the
same time.

Picking up a car by the bumper hurt my fingers because I didn't own
gloves. As long as I didn't get blisters, I figured it was okay. Bumpers
are so flimsy these days that I wouldn't dare try to turn my car around
in my driveway that way.

I had a little rear engined car that weighed 1,730lbs and I could pick it up by the front bumper and drag it around. Of course that was 40 years ago and I can't even walk right now. o_O

My Mini ended up on the sidewalk many times, and a friend and
classmate had his set on the front stairs of the highschool. I had
mine picked up by 8 "friends" and carried through a field and over
fallen logs around a pond while I was gone for a couple hours.

Classmates blocked Frank's mini between their pontiac and Torino and
took the bus mome, so a few friends had to lift and slide it out after
basketball practice so he could drive home.

I had a Renault-10 which was a rear engine 1,108cc water cooled 4 cyl.
I loved that little blue 4 door sedan. It was a lot of fun to drive. The car was so light that no power brakes or power steering was needed. 8-)

I rallied a '72 R12 for 3 years. It was the lowest powered car on the
circuit, and about the same weight as a civic - we finished 4, 3,
2,over 3 years running regional navigational series

I owned a blue Renault 16 in the 70's and it was a luxury car compared to my Renault 10. The French automobiles were odd but neat little cars. 8-)
