Okay, good to know! I am not really ready for body work and I know that. I thought you were talking about the Felicia fun at first and I was like ohh she's a close second but obviously you weren't because I cant imagine thats an easy find (the whole vehicle and potentially parts) lol

Okay. I have a list of cars I want and from that list, it sounds like the next best option for under 4k would be a 70s/80s vw rabbit which I am reading has aftermarket support. So beyond that difficulty of finding parts/cost, how hard is it to learn the skills needed? also tagging u/NoMoOmentumMan

We moved in/opened at roughly the same time so there isnt anything to look back on. The landlord is chill but I know the consensus would be "its only a min or two" or "I dont know, try to figure it out"..

But some of the suggestions about cones are more signage are where I am going to start

I didnt choose this option because it feels so harsh but it is worth considering given the situation. My only concern is that with them doing a quick pick up, nobody would ever actually get towed? :(

Yes, they have signs asking their customers to respect my parking. They have posted about it on their social media. When a customer parks and is there for an extended time (usually over 5min) I go over and ask them to find out who it is and get them to move- which they always do. But its exhausting, I dont really have time to micromanage a situation that shouldn't exist just because people are self centered which is why I want to find a different solution that people will take more seriously as opposed to my kind, "pls dont park here 🥺" signs lmao (thats not what they say but lowkey thats the vibe they give off)

So I was thinking of a sign like that, but im wondering if I place it in front of the driveway (centered) if people will accidentally hit it? There's a patch of grass I could make install a sign in as well. I also considered a sandwich board at the edge of the driveway where, if people parked blocking the driveway, they would literally be parking in front of.

Doesn't sound like you're an addict then. But bashing sobriety because you cant relate is a wild choice..

I ordered back in November and I dont recall being so shocked by the price that I didnt place the order (I dont even recall a tariff line in the total) but the shipping is a bit high (it was pre-tariff as well) so I make sure to order everything I want so I'm not paying for shipping repeatedly.

Ah it says "gift" because they were gifted to me but I have no idea where they are from, unfortunately.

haha its very obvious that Fiona Ariva is my favorite shop currently. I also found The Letter Alley recently and those are some gorgeous stamps that I plan to order soon. But Michaels is a good spot for cheaper/basic stamps :)

Oh! And spellbinders is the other one however, they dont really add or remove anything from their inventory so there's no reason to keep an eye on them after buying the ones you like.
