During various runnings for President of the US of A we even in Denmark have noticed some good sayings (can you say that?):
I donīt remember which president, but he stated that in his time every American household had got at least 2 cars park at their homes.
His opponent had to admid that it was right, -
but at least one of them was Japanese!!
I hope that I qoted it close to the facts. And of course no one in this forum would even think of getting a rice-cooker.
We know of course that you have many cars in USA, but is it common to park them like this?
