Oh that could really annoy me to the point of dumping the thing back in the dealer's front yard within a week.

There's a spot along my street (old, narrow residential) where there are people parked on both sides most of the time. When the jerk with the dually adds his to the mess, anything much bigger than my Saturn would have to fold the mirrors in to have a chance. A car that decides for me that I shouldn't squeeze through there would be in danger of getting torched where it stops. (Partly in hopes that it would spread to the dually.)
