Are you good at parking?

This could have been me. I cannot back into a parking space to save my life or parallel park unless there is no car in front or in back of me. I always pull through a parking space so I don''t have to back out of it. My DH no problem. He can squeeze into the tightest of spots.

 

[Bia]

yes. I am good at parking.

 

[kenny]

I'm good.
My partner stinks at parking and gets really embarrassed about it when I'm there.

 

[elrohwen]

Lol. The Hamster Dance music made it that much funnier.

I''m a pretty good parker I think, as long as I''m in my own car. I have a Civic, so I can squeeze into the little spaces that everybody else passes by

Though I''m not nearly as comfortable backing into spaces as I am parallel parking or regular parking. And when I rent a big SUV, I''m just as bad at parking as everyone else! I end up pulling in and backing out at least once usually

I was with my old car, I could get that thing into any space I wanted. This one I''m still getting used to!

 

[lilyfoot]

I didn''t click on the link, but yes, I''m good at parking.

BF isn''t though, it always cracks me up. He is completely unable to pull into a parking space straight ..

Bahaha that woman is hilarious. I bet she is related to my roommate who is TERRIBLE at parking. I on the other hand am not half bad. I''m no parallel parking genius or anything, but I would say I''m above average.

I have a friend who is so terrible at it that I have gotten out of the car to switch seats with her so I could park.... more than once.

 

[sctsbride09]

NO! My Dh makes fun of me all the time, because when we go somewhere that paralleling is a must, he gets to do it.

The funny thing is I drive good and he drives like a maniac, so we just switch when we get to our destination if need be.

I hope you are kind to him! My mother is awful at parking and falls to pieces if it goes wrong. My father is not kind at that point!
I''m ok at parking, I can usually fit my big tank into a small space. For some reason though, when I drive DH''s little car, I''m not so good. I would have thought it would be easier in a smaller car but apparently not. I learned to drive in the Army, in a Landrover. They MADE me learn how to park lol.

...I'm a parallel parking guru, if I may say so.


Three years of driving to campus in a mountaineer and parking somewhere on the street in the tiniest gaps between other cars with fifteen minutes until class starts is excellent training - I've got the pull up, back in, inch forward three-step down.

hahhaahhahaha I wanna go hug the person who parked the car for her! that was soooo hilarious!!!! hahaha

i think im a pretty good parker, i park parallel better than my husband haha hopefully he doesnt read this

 

[radiantquest]

I will admit that I have a hard time sometimes, but nothing like that. As soon as the driver got out and it was a woman I thought all the men watching will say "It was a woman driver, that explains it."

 

[Deactivated member 42515]

haha or better yet, did she have black hair? maybe asian? my DH is white and I''m asian and he always says we dont have peripheral vision and that asians dont use blinkers and blah blah. haha yes asians cant drive but I can! hahahaha or can i? jk get off the road yaytacori is coming in her huge SUV!!!

 

[diamondringlover]

I suck at parking.

 

[Asscherhalo_lover]

Lol, I work in Brooklyn I have come become quite adept at any kind of parking, with that said, if you can''t make it into the spot, just give it up, jeesh, those other people in the lot have a hell of a lot more patience than I do...

 

[purrfectpear]

Yep, but I''ve always driven little sports cars for the last 20 years or so. Now I have a Scion hatchback and it''s very short also. Piece of cake

Don''t ask me to parallel park any vans or SUV''s

then why would you need to parallel park?

anyhow,young kids like my daughters will never learn to parallel park. when i got my driver''s license 33 yrs ago one of the test was to parallel park on hill,nowadays that test aren''t required.

 

[mariel]

Yes however I''ve gotten so spoiled with the reverse backup camera & the front sonar so not really sure how I would do without them

 

[IloveAsschers13]

I learned to drive in a windstar mini van. I took my test in that as well. I rock at parking- seriously. Any kind of parking. I can maneuver just about any car out of any spot. My boyfriend is also good at parking- he worked valet for about4 years and even though I know that doesn''t make it good at parking, he is an excellent parker.

 

[Cind11]

I can''t parallel park to save my life. I think the last time I did was for my driving test many years ago.

 

[somethingshiny]

That was hilarious!! My DH would have been the guy coming in for the assist.

Yes, I am good at parking. I learned to drive in two vehicles. A full size old pick-up and a 97 Ford LTD. 2 of the biggest vehicles on the planet and my dad made sure I could park them, without turning around. I still remember backing around the high school parking lot, like full circles around the school and obstacles.
