    About to make the left turn into the Wawa parking lot...

    20170801_0573_IMG.jpg

    The futhermucking Doylestown Wawa again...

    I took this picture I was backing into a parking space...
    20170801_0574_IMG.jpg


    And these two after I was actually parked...

    These two photos should give you an idea of how tight the Wawa parking lot is!

    Leaving the Wawa through the rear parking lot entrance because there was a bit of a jam at the main entrance if I remember correctly... 20170801_0578_IMG.jpg

    Beginning the day by blasting my horn at a truck driver who was about to blindly pull out of a side street...

    Unlike the white Prius from a few days before, I don't think my Tacoma would have won this battle...

    Tight squeeze on East Court Street...

    Hard to believe that is supposed to be a two-way street!

    Some of you may remember me talking about the Lexus Incident that happened back in November 2013. back in See how that Fed Ex truck is in a NO PARKING zone? Sometime in 2015, I almost had a head-on with the boyfriend of Ms. Lexus while making a right turn from this exact same spot because a goddamn UPS truck was sitting exactly where the Fed Ex truck is parked in this photo.

    I looked both ways, and the road seemed to be clear, so I floored it and peeled out of the parking lot because I wanted to clear that area as quickly as possible. As soon as I made a right turn around the illegally parked UPS truck, there was the woman's boyfriend in driving her other car, an older Volvo S80, and I had to slam on the brakes to avoid having a head-on collision...

    20170803_0675_IMG.jpg

    And there's the culprit right there...

    Seriously, thanks a lot dude! Just look how far into the opposing lane I had to go because you were to lazy to park that Sprinter van down the street...
    20170803_0676_IMG.jpg

    Also, almost smashing head-on into the Volvo, and being chewed out by the Lexus owner's massive Australian boyfriend who'd been driving the Volvo later that afternoon, put the fear of God into me. From then on, I am always overly cautious when pulling out of the parking lot at work!

    I lost my Grandpa to lung cancer back in 2007 (he was only 71), and my aunt survived breast cancer in 2005-2006. To say that cancer and research to find a cure for it really hits close to home for me is an understatement...

    I've been seeing Feel Your Boobies and Save the Ta-tas bumper stickers on vehicles for years (especially at car shows). Until just now, I thought Feel Your Boobies was affiliated with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. I went on their website, liked what I saw, and guess what...?!?!?

    The "Boobie Bus" is a 2nd Gen Scion xB!

    [​IMG]

    Anyway, who thinks I should get a Feel Your Boobies magnet and stick it on the tailgate of my Tacoma?

    Hell, these causes mean so much to me that I'd cover my Tacoma in a pink wrap! For every two grand or so donated, I'd turn my Tacoma pink for one month!

    Keep in mind that it's almost midnight and I didn't get that much sleep last night...

    My brain is not operating at full capacity right now!
