On the rare occation I go shopping, I have my driver circle the block while I shop. But usually I have my valet do the shopping for me.

The handicap spots are usually nice and roomy.

I back in. 1. It's easier to pull out. 2. It's easier to get a jump when your battery dies suddenly.

In the winter, I sometimes weathervane my truck. I park so the tailgate is into the wind...seems to make the engine whip over faster by keeping the battery warmer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not believe that a battery has a windchill factor.
