This is why I'm in the comments... Everybody I've known with an Altima didn't care about the car at all lol... It was nice for a few months then one thing let's to the next and next thing you know your buddy is getting pulled out of the trails by a Jeep cause somebody couldn't make it thru the creek.
WOAAAHH NOW! I think I’m the one acception. I have a newer altima and I got it because I needed a daily lol, I only have one curbed wheel and I was pissed when it happened. So not ALL of us are bad lol, maybe 99%
Here’s a good tip, keep a skateboard or scooter in the trunk to turn the long walk into a quick shred. Also works with heelies depending on the surfacex
I asked my wife of 22yrs to watch this with me. She laughed her ass of, but completely understands.... Thank you for helping all of us "nice" car guys show why and how it's done...
I'm upset you never discussed the threats of unmanned shopping carts. One MUST analyze the grading of the asphalt to determine a parking spot uphill and/or upstream from the cart corrals to ensure a rogue cart doesn't run downhill into your car when a cart is pushed in too hard from the opposite side. It's first grade Cleeter.
Exactly. I used to be a cart guy at a hardware store when they freshly repaved the lot, those carts rolled like you wouldn't believe. Nowadays It's almost more important for me since my truck doesn't shift into park and will roll away on a 2 degree incline...
Yes! Was about to add the same comment, slope is very important! But don't also forget wind direction relative to your car vs. any rogue carts. If it's a windy/gusty day, you need to make sure that if there is a wind gust, it's not pushing carts towards your car.
Parked my truck at Lowes the other day, lot sloped steep toward the store. Parked down-hill from the cart return. Hit by 2 different carts that drifted from the return. Never parking down-hill from a cart return again.
We need more of these, so funny. Lets get one for Highway Driving, City Driving, Snow Driving, Heavy Rain!! Cleetus can educate the next generation or drivers to be absolute UNITS on the road
I just had this exact same conversation with my wife the other day. She’s coming around and more aware of parking lot hazards now than when we were dating. I’ll drop her off at the door and make the mile walk in to meet her rather than risk getting a door ding. Well done cleeter 👏🏻
Across the world i need this translated into french italian japaneese french chinese french and french Edit: german is not necessary they already have this
When it comes to shopping carts, always check the grade of the pavement and make sure you're uphill from the cart returns. You don't want a rogue cart rolling down the hill into your car. Also, avoid the spots directly next to the returns entirely.
I walked out of my local grocery store to a rogue cart being blown across the lot directly toward my pickup, when I say I dropped the groceries and ran to stop that rig I mean I rannnnnnn.
I dunno, I sometimes choose the spots next to cart returns. Eliminates possibility of a door ding on one side, and I figure people are more inclined to return their carts if they are already right next to it - making it less of a chance they leave it around my car.
@@chrisw9054 I do that as well. Most of the time people don't bother returning carts - but when they do, their stuff is already in their vehicle, so they're usually directing the cart with both hands -
I've been waiting for someone to do this but I to say I didn't expect it from you cleetus you Crack me up. Excellent job you hit it on the nail. God bless you guys and as always be safe 👍
As a motorcyclist, I could practically write a thesis about profiling drivers and their vehicles...who you can (mostly) trust and who to avoid at all costs.
I feel you on this. I rode a bike for 3 years around Philadelphia and the amount of close calls I had made me stop wanting to ride. Buick or Lincoln: Fossil about to kill you Dented up Nissan: Person without insurance trying to kill you Lifted pick-up with light bars: Overcompensating dude who can't see you and is trying to kill you Work Van: Dude late to a job site and trying to kill you Audi: Will tailgate you and try to kill you
100% you can profile, because if you ride long enough you have met every one of them personally. At least twice. I’m old enough to have ridden pre and post smart phones. It’s a jungle out there.
Thank you Cleeter! I showed this wonderful presentation to my old lady to which she understand just a little better now. Glad to have you in my corner.
I think the funniest thing about this is Cleetus waited until after the wedding to give this presentation. That just goes to show how much he loves her.
1. Had this “discussion” last week with my wife 2. Best marriage advice I ever got: pick your battles carefully 3. Wait until it’s time to buy a baby stroller. That’s gonna be epic
I was given similar advice from my father when first married when discussing my wife's ability to only have have a pedal in two positions, full brake, or full throttle. He told me you aint gonna change it, just keep money handy for brakes and motor mounts and pick a different fight.
To expand on execution item 4. Watch out on the curbs when getting back in to the car. It’s too easy to open the door where it clears the curb. Then they sit in the car causing the door to dip down and hit the curb.
110% this, learned this exact lesson the hard way a few years back with my first lowered car lmao. I'll just say that the sound of the bottom of my door crunching on a curb is a daily reminder to pay more attention.
Disclaimer: This is only a hazard if you're a fatass and weigh enough to compress that much of the suspension on your vehicle when you sit in it. For thin skinny folks this is a non-issue.
@@Sabrinahuskydog well you're wrong sir, I weight 80 kg which is, as I understand, nothing in murica world, but my curb at my garden is so perfect that I can open the door without me in the car and have 2mm of space but when I sit in my car it compress a bit and start to catch on it, car has coilovers, so unless you have bricks instead of springs in your car, this is always risk
As a man with a woman who complains about my methods of parking this hits home. Cleetus we need more videos like this as well cause this was amazing 🤣🤣🤣 thank you for clearing the air for a all men who have parking spots preference
Listen. I already loved you Cleetus. But I'm now convinced we are long lost family members. This parking regiment has been my mantra for many years. Keep up the amazing content and major congratulations on the newlywed status!! Maddie seems like 1 in bazillion!
thank you for making this! exactly the thought process going through my head and my wife doesnt always understand! 2 views here one for me and one for her as I hold class.
Thank you please I have been trying to explain this to my wife for years. Now that she saw your presentation with all the visuals I think she now understands. This was perfect timing because my wife is getting ready to leave for Walmart so thank you for the presentation.
Very educational cleet, taught me a couple new insights and elaborated on the things I already take into consideration everytime I park anywhere. I've basically learned not to park next to anything with 4 doors bc of the risk of kids or careless teenagers throwing that door into your vehicle. Its honestly heart-wrenching when people can't share the respect you have for vehicles
Most necessary and educational video on RU-vid. It's about damn time somebody who people listen to did this. Great Job. Maybe do car maintenance next? The basics, like washer fluid, oil changes, fixing a flat, etc.
As a 17 year Costco employee with my first 3 years as a Grocery Carrying Device Retrieval Expert (cart pusher), this presentation was beyond on point. I’ve witnessed more unfortunate circumstances of damage than I’d like to remember. I also have to evaluate my personal 9 hour parking spot every day. Also the Nissan Altima comments… 1000% accurate. Keep up the important PSA’s cleet!
Wow, that was quite the presentation, Cletus! It’s as if you attended Naval Instructor Training. You used all the correct techniques and performed flawlessly. Didn’t stand in front of your presentation, kept your audience interested and fully engaged. I am very impressed. Well done, sir.
@@NoMatureContent Lol not trying to slam or Cleetus or anything, because this is obviously a joke, but this presentation would be like a C in my high school English classes. 😂
I am so glad you made this great tutorial. This makes it very easy to share around to everyone I know so they can educate their wives. You hit all the main points with a good amount of explanation to really drive it home. 👍
One you missed IMO, the SUV, especially with child seats, you know those dooors are gonna be flung open by the snot smudgers, and Karen hasn't got time for your well kept car, so be mindful of those, these are usually right near the entrance, and parked wonky.
My late father in-law would be so impressed by your presentation as this was his parking rules to the last detail. If he couldn't find at least 1 curb he would find another carpark or simply stay in the car while my mother in-law shopped
Way to go Cleeter! You actually took the time to explain our insanity and love for our vehicles to your lovely wife. That’s hubby of the year material sir!
I don’t see anything wrong with this class session… would recommend 100% I would go so far as to say that this tutorial and PowerPoint needs to be included in all Driver Education courses as a mandatory section.
This was hilarious and my husband car guy completely related to every slide, as his wife I get a little more insight and know why we always are walking a good mile to go into a store :)
LMAO - Awesome class - so so true. Exactly what goes through my mind when I park. I'll get out and check myself and sometimes fire it back up and reposition. By that time my wife's already in the store but I did a professional parking job!
The fact that it is 1,000% true makes this hands down the funniest video you have made! Even your own wife did not dispute any of the infractions laid at her feet. What is it with women packing nine miles of shit at their feet on the passenger side floor board like their nomadic people that have to take all their worldly possessions with them but can not be out of arm reach of said possessions? Put that shit in the back where it belongs! I can’t I need my leg room.
Ha! I give my wife hell about this all the time. "There's a perfectly good floor in the 2nd row" Yet....she piles it at her feet so she barely has room for her feet.
“Or are we in the Blazer...that things a piece of junk” that’s a dagger to the heart for us George/Blazer fans, I think the Blazer is the baddest unit in the fleet!!
Some of the best couples information any car guy can give!!! Absolutely spot on and Funny at the same time! Not sayin' my wife and her C7 take to heart all the time , but she does get of the ideals of parking lot behavior. This may be a good refresher course for her!!!
great job cleetus, feel like you hit all the high points and provided a very good compelling argument about the real world parking lot situations... now..... we'll need to hear maddie's presentation on parking
This is phenomenal. I always park in the “no ding zone.” Bought a new Kia Stinger after wanting one for years, parked far away from everyone, wouldn’t you know at 3 days old a lady hit it and did about 2k of damage. Even when using all these tips and tricks idiots can find you.
I laughed so hard at this. Altima was a good punchline but i think there was one thing forgotten here. Final rule: Never valet your car. Half of us were valet's at some point. We know what happens.
Cleet back to his college days presenting lol and her giggling the whole time! And what’s funny is I think just like that about parking!!! Golden video brother🤘🏻🤘🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸 Next FF event…..Altima 250 😂😂😂
Thank you for this!! Had an EXboyfriend who made fun of me relentlessly for this very thing. Always back in, always park WAY out where no one else is, try to park where other cars can't park next to you. I take exceptional care of my cars. I only buy cars that I love and take lots of pride in. Currently have a 2022 2SS Camaro and when I trade it in (if I do), it'll look as good as the day I bought it. PS: Boyfriends, ex or otherwise need lessons, too! :D
If there is one thing I have noticed, other guys that take care of their cars tend to do better with long term relationships. Less fighting, fewer or no divorces, all their kids with one mom, etc. Every dude I know that drives some clapped out beater that he treats like crap has at least one ex-wife, multiple kids with different mothers, can't hold a job, parents constantly bailing them out of "tough spots", etc, etc.
You are speaking my language brother . Maddy I hope you took in as much info as humanly possible this is life education at its finest . And men pay attention , the fact that Cleeter took the time to make a powerpoint means he loves his wife and wants whats best for her life .
The parking theory I've employed over the years is this: 1) if available, Park on the end of a row, preferably against a traffic Island. 2) if else, park 3 spots further than the furthest car in the lot. If you park like you're obviously trying to protect your car, the assholes will find you.
Cleet, im dead lol. My wife couldn't stop glaring at me and questioning everything I was laughing at. Then she watched the video, I think she understands now! Thank you for saving the MINI Cooper S, Kia Stinger, and Cayman from any further questionable parking spots and potental ding sites!
