I much prefer the little quarter sized oil spots on my driveway. On a
good day I can park the Westy in exactly the same spot as before and I
only have the one spot.
I tried some alternate points to stop the van in the hopes that with
enough practice I could spell out STAN in little quarter sized oil spots.
That didn't work, I got the A ok, then while trying to get the S I wound
up with two Ss. I must have hit the brakes too hard.
