A new life is more than losing weight and getting a tan. More than new shoes and low socks. More than a gold chain and a green neck. What’s the new life deal this time?
BACKING UP AND ADDING ON
Backing up into a parking space is normal? It’s getting that way, but there’re still holdouts. – People who always back into to parking spaces think they better than us. – I back into my parking space in the garage and the garage is inclined up…I also do it with a manual transmission car, […]
