    LOL, reminds me of a couple years back - someone would go through once a week in the middle of the night and put EVERYONE's wipers up on the whole street and condo complex. They must have gotten quite a kick out it! Must have been hundreds of cars each time!

    Well, if it was NYC, you'd find all the wipers *bent* back and
    torn off. And maybe several missing/mangled mirrors, too.

    As in "New" York, as opposed to the old one in Merry Old England? Let's see . . . You could venture out a bit from Adelaide and try Aldgate, Brompton, Cheltenham, Lobethal, Craigburn, Lochiel or a few dozen others that had the good fortune of being named after cities in England (or Ireland or Germany).

    Personally, I kind of like names like Yankalilla and Myponga. and especiallly Willyaroo (who needed another New Hamburg anyway).

    I'd go with your names.

    I was refering to New York city in New York State making it New York, New York, so good they named it twice, I think Sinatra sang it.

    I know, but I just couldn't pass on all of the great Aussie town names. Those are the places where there aren't people rude enough to push out my mirrors.

    I don't care if it does harm or not.

    DO NOT TOUCH MY FAWKING CAR FOR ANY REASON!

    Touching anyone's vehicle without their permission is RUDE, Obnoxious and completely un acceptable behavior. This includes Mirrors, putting crap in my window dew wipes, and INCLUDING MY WIPERS! Leave them alone.

    If i'm in a parking lot where it would be necessary to fold my mirrors in -- the lot is too tight and i'll park elsewhere.

    Mirrors: 2-car garage with lots of stuff... my kids sometimes fold them in and then forget to put them back. Once or twice I've folded them in on other cars that parked negligently... you know the type. Huge parking space next to your car, they park 1-foot away from your car and at an angle. Gimme a break! Learn to drive or quit driving.

    Windshield Wipers: My brother LOVES to pull them up on friends and family as a joke. It is kinda funny I guess... once.
