April 21, 2007: German sub, abandoned and rusting

[zippyt]

I saw a series of time lapse pics when they had to move it a few years ago , the three point turn they were antisapaiting turned into like a 30+ point turn

I've seen people accomplish that feat in compact cars. At least with a giant sub you have some excuse.

The only thing lamer is turning a u-turn into a three point turn. In a Porsche 911.

Hmm there is parking for sub-compact cars at a grocery store near us. I always thought it was something to do with car size, but given the size difference between subs and compacts, and taking into consideration the similarities mentioned above, I'm now wondering if it's parking with special maneuver-free properties?

Oh, man! Now you really made me wanna go out driving. If only I had a car... Those 911's are often RWD (some AWD), which is nice, not the least for a U-turn.
