Ha Ha! Now we have a "legitimate" reason based upon scientific study to
tell our wives/girlfriends, etc., that we're parking so far away so we can
be in better shape - has nothing to do with our cars! ;-)

When I was a youngster growing up in Kansas, I worked on a farm in the
summers. I noticed in the morning that the cattle would always be grouped
closely together against the fence in the farthest corner of the pasture.
An observation I've made now that I'm grown up is, that when I go shopping
and park my Tiger at the farthest point in a parking lot, cars are always
huddled closely around it when I come out. I think like the cattle, they must
get lonely and go there by themselves.
