Although mostly effective I gave up on that thinking. In '04 I bought my first new truck, spent 34k on it which I never dreamed I would. I took it to Home Depot and parked it so far out in the empty lot that I considered taking a bus to the store. Before entering the retail wonderland I turned around to get a glimpse of by precious rig. What I saw was a huge car parked close to the passenger side of of my truck. The car listed to its left as the door banged on my truck several times. It looked like the Titanic was giving birth to broadzilla through it's portside. It was dinged up pretty good in it's first two weeks.

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
