What a wonderful ad for telling people that they should READ THE F*CK*NG INSTRUCTION MANUAL before attempting to use something they have absolutely no understanding of !!
But then I guess they wouldn't have had a movie would they ? :P
Only yanks would **** something like that up... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

They have the same feature on the Toyota Prius - available in the UK. I test drove one the other day and even the Toyota guy admitted it was of limited value for everyday parking situations. I did have a laff scarring pedestrians in my local tesco car park, but decided to save the £400 it costs for something more useful instead.

I am sooooo glad I am not drinking cofee at the moment... :lol:
'tis true though.. I had to suffer watching someone park a car next to my bike once.... they ended up about 1/2 a foot away from my bike.. with a 3 foot gap the other side.... told the bloke we were working for 'bet you its a woman driver' as we watched the car door open trying not to bang my bike.... yup.. 'twas a female driver... :lol:

:roll: All the nasty swearwords have already been censored out little one, yoos is gonna be ok sweety.
Still, I thought it was funny. :lol: And to be honest I don't believe many blokes - american or not - would bother reading the instructions.

Ah c'mon Ping. in fairness to the guy it is a scientific fact that the area of the brain that deals with spatial awarness is smaller in females than it is in males.
Mrs Spidey is a brilliant driver and parker too (no not a peter parker b4 anyone goes for the obvious gag). But generally speaking if you took 20 random guys and 20 random girls i think you'd find that the guys would get on better than the girls.
Women are ar better at other things that are more valuable anyway.:D

I wasnt grouping all women into the 'cannot reverse' category... but this woman was terrible at it.. I was cringing, and dare not run towards my bike as if she has been startled, a grands worth of damage was only a second away...
anyway, why am I picked on? :cry: :cry: there are more posts above me that are worse... :lol:

Right, this is where my theory of the nurture rather than nature thing comes in... girls are 'generally' raised with dolls, cooksets, pretty sparkly things...
Boys are 'generally' raised with toys like little toolsets, balls, mostly stuff that requires developing co-ordination and spacial awareness...
So, while your statement has some truth to it, rather than being a case of 'not being good at it', it's more a case of 'could be good at it with practice' (and some of us are good at it because -IMO- we did all the spacial awareness stuff as children - i.e. played sports, etc.)
Whaddya think?
:D
There's more here on it, and I think it's a great feature, and definitely the future:
http://www.lexus.co.uk/lexus_cars/ls/ls460/showcase/index.asp
You'd be surprised at the number of guys who'd appreciate it too. Oh and it's meant for parallel parking not reversing into 90° supermarket spaces.
And the back seat with all the toys, yup, I'd have no problem with being driven around in one of those, which is strange, as I've never really had that sort of inclination before.

Savoury Lady
If I ever meet a girl who calls me 'honey' (Hi, honey)
The first thing I think is she's after my money
If she goes and tells me that she thinks I'm sweet (Your're sweet)
I'm looking at my watch, I'm getting to my feet
All this sentiment about sugar and spice is
Guaranteed to give me an identity crisis
I'll tell you the truth, I'm not going to hedge
I want a girl who's going to be my meat and two veg.
Savoury Lady
You're driving me crazy
With your lips like gravy
My savoury girl;
Went down to the beach for a barbecue
Well my goose was cooked when I met with you
The moment I saw you I knew love beckoned
I want you for my first course, not my second...
Savoury Lady...
Fifty seven varieties in your saucy smile
I'll ketchup baby if you run a mile
Take me home to meet your family, that's alright
If your pa doesn't like me, your ma might
Savoury Lady...
English words are insufficient for what I must say
So I'll just have to go and parler en francais
Ma pomme te terre, ma choufleur, ma carrot
(my potato, my cauliflower, my carrot)
Ma navet, ma petit pois, ma chere vielle haricot
(my turnip, my pea, my dear old bean)
Ma chou de Bruxelles, ma epinards
(my Brussel Sprout, my spinach)
Ma rutabaga, ma betterave
(my swede, my mangel-wurzel)
Savoury Lady...
When the joint is rockin' at the Saturday hop
You're my side of mutton, you're my pork chop
Your're my leg of lamb baby, you are just my type
Xx xxx, xxxxx xxx xxxxxx - xxxx xxxx xxxxx! :wink:
Savoury Lady...
You and I baby are gonna go so high
Now I'm walking on air, I'm free to fly
I'm gonna move on up, you know what it means
When I'm with you I feel so full of beans
:P
Cheers
Ben
