Had to stop at the bank in an ultra-crowded shopping plaza today. People were already parking in the middle of the lot, blocking others in. I drove over a spot reserved for the boss of some little overpriced furniture boutique and parked on the grass next to it. It was a gamble that nobody would park in that spot, I know.

I came back and the spot was full, with a long-ass Toyota Fielder wagon, parked waaay back from the curb so there was no way I could get back out the way I came in. Gambled & lost. So I had to drive across the grass, through a gravel drainage area with planters and small tress to squeeze between and wacky concrete features everywhere, over some more grass, over a drainage channel, up between two hedges and finally over a tall curb into another parking lot I could exit. A security guard and some other guy a great time spotting for me. It was kinda fun, maybe I'll do it again

I should point out that your average American pickup would probably have high-centered itself going over the first curb to get onto the grass and wouldn't have been able to leave that first grass patch...unless maybe you pushed the trees over and crushed the planters

In reply to GameboyRMH:

Not to mention: your truck Nutz might get damaged!

One guy actually imported a pair of Truck Nutz here, he has them on the back of a lifted 4g hilux. Luckily it hasn't caught on yet, but the rear window stick families have.

If people figure this out, on one hand everyone will have DIY Truck Nutz, on the other hand, they won't be as realistic-looking so maybe that's better?

I was stuck in traffic because of an accident once and we weren't moving at all, I saw a hummer h2 get Pissed and drive over a curb then through a yard to get to a side street. It was hilarious

I've invented a similar device for females to affix to their Volkswagen/Audi Group vehicles.....the VAG vag.

What happens if you rear-end one of these with a 2014 F1 car? That's an exciting idea!
