Why is it that you can't back the trailer into the driveway with your

vehicle? If you have space enough to pull it out, you should have

room to back it in.

I can..and do on occasion.

I just find it awkward.. hard to see where I'm backing to and of course depends on whether there are vehicles parked opposite my driveway.

It's a very narrow street and a very narrow driveway... 10 feet narrow.

You might find it helpful to put a few long stakes or bamboo poles in

a few strategic locations along the edge of the driveway so you can

see them in your mirrors.

I can always see one side in the mirrors... the vehicle ends up at such an angle to the trailer that the other side is a dead zone.
Ad to that.. as soon as I start, cars always come around the corner trying to get by. This adds to my feeling of needing to get the backing-up done quickly and efficiently.

A responsible boat owner and neighbor (um... ) would just buy all of the
stuff needed to own a boat there... That includes a motor, life jackets,
a trailer with proper lighting, and a ****ing dolly if you are
endangering your family and neighbors with your boat... read my other
post. If you are gonna' do the sport, buy the gear, period. Anything
less is irresponsible and selfish.. If you can't afford the gear, find
another hobby... period.. That is what a responsible member of society does.

Man oh, man, that jawbone of yours must be giving you fits today, you're
insane rants are funny as hell!!!
