I have no skill at parallel parking. Zero. I can see two car lengths open and I'll still end up with my back end three feet from the curb. Unfortunately, our new place has very narrow (the picture doesn't do it justice) parallel parking. I have a lead on a different, much smaller car. The Sunny (Nissan Sentra in the US)is not large but Its too big for me to navigate the tiny spot we have here.
Well, the good news is that you will probably improve your parking skills! After having to parallel park in Pittsburgh for years (and in some very tiny spots) - I feel like I can pretty much park just about anywhere with minimal problem. And I was NOT very confident about doing it before. I have parked in places that my husband has said that I could never get into - which of course makes me NEED to prove him wrong! LOL
ReplyDeleteA friend gave me a sure-fire trick for parallel parking that works well, but strangely, if people are outside and possibly watching, I suddenly become parallel parking challenged!
ReplyDeleteSo you are going to get a different car b/c you can't learn to parallel park? Come on, Steve. Perhaps you could speak to the other individuals who will be sharing those spaces with you, and ask if they would be willing to let you park in the last space so you can just drive in!!!! I don't understand why people have problems with parallel parking. If you follow the directions you were given during driver's education, it is so easy. Go over there and practice.
