A friend of mine sent me this link, he said it was about a bus that blocked the traffic while he made a "U" turn....So I thought it was Jon on his way to the mini-pog rallye in PSL this past January. It wasn't him but from what I understand there are plenty of similarities.

There is no proof whatsoever that I ever blocked traffic.

None.

Rodger was there.

On our trip out of Maine last week, we decided to spend a night at the Foxwoods Casino Resort where they allow free overnight stays in their "Large Vehicles" parking lots.

Great place with lots to see and do. Largest casino in the world!

Only thing is MAKE SURE that you take the entrance road on the south side of the main casino entrance.... I didn't....

So, I end up in valet parking..... towing the Jeep... no way to turn....

As I eased the bus into the line of cars I asked "Uh.. so, you wanna valet park this ?"

Valet guy was not happy!

Ended up having to disconnect the Jeep, move it out of the way, block traffic in 3 directions as I backed the bus out of line and into the street, ran over a couple of curbs and perhaps some landscaping (hey, the pissed off valet guy was directing me, I missed a stop sign by less than an inch according to Janice, who was blowing the horn on the Jeep and trying to warn me to no avail) and finally getting escorted by a security vehicle to the CORRECT parking lot

Once we arrived there, it was kind of a free-for-all for spaces and it took several attempts to get settled into a spot the we felt comfortable in.

All in all, a good experience for everyone but the valet guy....

And, other than some scuff marks on a couple of tires, no damage to the bus.

The entertainment value to the casino spectators was priceless....

Joe,

Who are you going to believe......me or a used car salesman? Never mind, I know the answer.

Just yesterday Roger was your idol...now he's just a used car salesman (an occupation that I admire). How quickly things change when you buy an XLII.
