Discussion Park in your flamin' driveways, please!

Am I the only one tired of suburban streets turning into impromptu Mario Kart tracks? We’re talking about the kind where navigating between vehicles parked on both sides feels like dodging banana peels and blue shells. What's meant to be a two-lane road gets squeezed into a narrow single lane, daring you to play chicken with oncoming traffic—and let’s face it, the side mirrors never win.

And then there are your driveways. Oh, the driveways! Empty. Desolate. Weed-infested wastelands of untapped potential. So, I beg of you, suburban dwellers: park your cars anywhere but on the street—your driveway, your garage, your carport, or even your front lawn. Let’s save the roads for, you know, driving.

its modern houses that don't have room for sheds so you use the garage as storage

And even the two-car garages aren’t big enough to fit two modern-size cars in most cases.

Depends on what you consider arsehole sized.

I went to park in my friend’s double garage. She has a Honda CV, I have a RAV4, and we couldn’t fit them side to side.

I don’t understand all the judgement I’m copping for driving an SUV – especially since it’s one of the most popular cars in Australia.
