Rotation is the Fountain of Youth

I love my car. It's a Mini Cooper and it just fits my body so. As a lady at 5'4" the Chevy Equinox I had before was way too much car for me AND backing up that beast was a bit of a looky with a prayer. I'm old school as far as driving and I am not a fan of the backup camera in the dash. In that SUV, I felt like there was an acre of view that I was missing that could include puppies, tricycles, or curbs. 

You might not realize that you can't turn your neck until you can't turn your neck. It can be years in the making but you're gonna want to pay attention because rotation is the fountain of youth!

I can't vouch for the puppies or the trikes but I definitely made friends with a few curbs. Hey, no judgment as I live in the city and get home a little later than the rest of the block so my parallel parking has got to be spot on. 

That means that I am looking over my shoulder, which means my rotation, the ability to turn my neck and really my whole spine without a glitch...or pain, or snap, crackle, and pop, is key. My Mini is a champ of a parker but it's really because I can crank my neck without cranking.
