Well...the front nose of my kat...ALMOST...kissed the granite curb!!! This is why I NEVER pull nose first into any spot. I always back in. This took place just last Sunday during our cruise though Cape Cod, MA. We all pulled in nose first to stop and sightsee by the Coast Guard lighthouse. All I can say is thank God I stopped when I did!!! Charlie (chasmccart) has been bugging me to post the pics. I know for a fact he's ready and waiting in the wings to toss me around like an old rag doll.

Good catch on stopping before you smacked the curb. But why did park so close to that silver car? I'm smellin' door ding!! |

I got one better than that. Last Sunday I took the car to get inspected. The guy that drove it out of the garage and parked it, set the front tires against the curb. I was about to sh!t!!! The only thing stopping me was that at that point my a$$ was so tight you couldn't have gotten a straight pin up there with a jackhammer. As I walked out to the car, I asked him if he nosed over the curb? He said no. I said wanna bet? Took him up front and pointed at the nose full out over the curb, telling him he just damaged my car. He just about sh!t. It was one of those curbs that look like the little pebbles around your pool. I walked back in and brought out the manager and showed him, and said, he just damaged my car... He just about sh!t. I got in, started her up, put her in reverse, and awaited the all too familiar grind as I ever so slowly slid back over and down off the curb, with them both watching and listening... Nary a sound... I don't see how, cause you couldn't have slid a piece of paper between the car and the curb, but nada... nothing... no scrape sound, no paint on the little rocks in the curb, nothing. I think everybody learned a lesson that day. They won't be driving my car again. And if they drive someone elses, they'll not curb the tires. Now I need to go to the drug store to buy some laxitaves, cause I still haven't been able to take a sh!t all week. |

This is why the only people that drive our Prowler are myself or my wife. Our sons , sons in law, daughters and daughters in law all o better than to even ask. I have let them drive it but only when I was riding shotgun. |

idive, Your story definitely beats mine. Mine was a near miss...yours actually happened. Can't beleive he lied to you about the nose too. At an inspection station no less. The guy that inspects my kat lets me drive it in and out. Brian |

Brian, When you were pulling in next to me I was saying to my wife "he better stop or he's going to nose it!". I was freaking out just watching! Your plate definitely fits in this instance for sure. |

Well Charlie has been on the road trip from Hell. I have been waiting to see if you would post the picture. The part you left out was that Paul was already parked and you drove past him right up to the curb. I should have taken a picture of your face when you saw how close you were instead of the picture of the car. If you did smash the nose then all I would here from then on would be "Remember the cape cruise that Charlie set up. It rained and no one showed up except Paul and I. Then I smashed the nose on a curb in a parking lot that Charlie insisted we stop at and not back in." I never would have been able to live that down. Probably would have had to sell my Kat and resign from the POA. Charlie |

Brian, What Charlie wanted to say is: "you wouldn't have a problem if you had an SSR!" Charlie, had to say it since Brian thinks you like your SSR more than the Kat. Hey I think this might be "stir the pot Monday"? Charlie, Whatcha got hapnin on July 8th? |
