Bill, here's #10...

10) DON'T PARK ANYWHERE ONE MIGHT FIND A SHOPPING CART.

I never take my boxster to grocery store parking lots. Why frequent a place where one is bound to find people who don't care about cars?

I just wish I could afford to live in Germany. People there value their cars and dogs more than their children it seems. A friend who lived there told me a story I've shared on this forum before. He came out of a shopping center to find a man and his 8 year old son standing quietly next to his car. The man said the boy had something to say, and the kid said, through tears, that he dinged my buddy's door and he was very sorry. The man gave my buddy his card and said he MUST get it fixed and send him the bill so the boy could work off the debt and learn a valuable lesson about respecting other people's property.

Now that's the way to raise a child. Pity we don't have any of this left in this country.
