   Years ago, my dad took a tiny little 90s Honda Civic Wagon up deeply rutted mountain road trying to get to a hiking trail. He knew it was dicey, but he gave it a try…and ripped the oil pan off.

   He should have used a car with higher clearance. No offense, just the wrong tool for the job. Can’t clear the ruts? Don’t drive it there.

   Same applies to ginormous trucks as passenger vehicles. Can’t fit in the tight spaces? Don’t drive it there.

     @vickietorious I have long considered printing up a pack of stickers that say “If you can’t park it, don’t drive it” to slap on offending windshields. (That’s right after I print up my “Did this really need to be gendered?!” stickers.)

     Or of course there’s always the xkcd solution: https://xkcd.com/562/

     Them: "But it's a slippery slope to banning *ALL* motor vehicles in certain areas!"

     Me: "Good."

     @stylinstainless Again, there should be nothing controversial about using the right tool for the job!
