Boring AF when you find out the answer is literally "they open the door"

Shut up, shut up! Don't give the Americans any ideas, or we'll end up with a freeway through each aisle of the grocery store.

That would solve the issue of massive parking lots though 🤔

Usually that term doesn’t mean you drive around them. Usually it means malls that are not enclosed. Sometimes called “shopping centers”.

We do have drive through convenience stores. But I like to park and go inside.

Yeah but it was freaking cool when you saw the wall-door they open at one of the entrances to get it in there, and see them moving it in —signed 10 y/o me.

You fool

They actually disassemble the car before entering the mall and assemble it again inside

When they introduced the Geo I got to drive one into a mall spot. Was fun to do but they gave us strict instructions to drive slowly. Anyway, R.I.P. Geo.

Sold those back in the day. Metros were a total (heh) nightmare. Parents were always coming in to look at one for their kid, until they saw the insurance rates. A swift kick to the bumper would total one. Because the bumper was filled with foam. No lie.

Took a man on a ride and he rocked it down the interstate at 70mph. We got back to the lot, popped the hood, and the little 3-cylinder (again, no lie) lawnmower engine was hopping on it's engine mounts and venting an alarming amount of vapor.

I so wanted a Storm, but they would be creaking and falling apart at 30K miles. Roommate had one that was only a few years old, paint mostly gone, clear coat long gone, and it rattled like it was full of washers and ball bearings.

Oh, I've done that before!

I may have been 13 beers deep and it was the local liqour store, not mall, but I've done that before!
