Clever!

Do you remember the cartoons where the car would parallel park by jostling the cars on either side of the spot until it finally fit? Remember how that image had you nervous when parallel parking at your driver's license test? And ever since you've had a persistent voice nagging you about how, as you're relaxing in the restaurant enjoying a few bottles of wine, someone is RIGHT THIS MINUTE doing exactly that to your nice new car??? Images of a severely scraped, dented and molested bumper haunting you throughout your meal? Well, fear no longer! There is a solution!!! The Bumper Bully (or Bumper Badger- picture coming soon)! A very clever way to protect your precious car, allowing you to relax while other less capable driver's shove and squeeze themselves into a spot.

Now for the discouragement: Yes, people really do repeatedly bump while parallel parking. While nibbling from the Whole Foods buffet I watched a person spend a full 10 minutes bumping the cars defining the space no less than 4 times each. It was a bit appalling to observe the incompetence and his children learning this 'technique'.
