Anyone here good at parallel parking?

[MrBigDick]

if you don't live in a big city then use a bike.
Bike=no stress,quite the opposite actually
Car causes loads of stress and stress leads from anything from common cold to cancer and trust me you don't want that!

And suppose he wants to go out on a date, where does his date sit? The handle bars?

And bikes do cause stress............the stress wondering whether or not you're going to be going over the hood of the car that's trying to pass you.

I use to do that easily when I drove a Jeep. It's what I learned in. My current car is a crappy ass Taurus, and I can't do it half the time.
Funny story though...
I remember going from my place to a buddies with a few friends. I was stoned as hell and was like, "There is no way this will work... gonna take forever if y'all wanna get out."
They did, and I parked better than I ever had in my life.
I got out of the car and did a little jig. I was so pumped, hehehe.

Will I have a Ford F-150 and I can't parallel park it for nothing in the world.

Back it up...inch it in...right size...practice makes perfect....
For moment I forgot we were talking about cars
I use the method mentioned above where you pull up next to the car in front and BACK IT IN!!

When i learned to drive and park on the left side of the road , i avoided getting my license of years then one day i decided to right before leaving the country, a 1 month crash course.. With in 2 weeks of getting my full license i moved to the other side of the world and driving on the other side of the road, i had no problem parallel parking( even with a trailer hooked up).. But since returning to the flipside and the left side,..i have avoid parallel parking like the plague don't think i have done it since getting back (we are talking years lol).. i also got a new car so i am less willing to try.. my friends think its crazy because they have seen me reverse out of obstacle courses that looked impossible and get out of bottle necked driveways.. yet i won't P park meaning sometimes i park further away and make them walk ..hehe

my suggestion buy a car that will do it for you

I usually pull up next to the car past the spot, bring the rear of my car alongside the rear of the forward car and full lock, turn in sharply, straighten up as I get to a 45 degree angle, then reverse in. When you get really close to the curb, stop, switch to full lock the other way and swing the front end in. If youre unhappy, just zig zag a tiny bit to get it right in there! I turn the wheel while not moving the car if the spot is tight or back when I had just passed my test, but I usually just turn to full lock when rolling it extremely slowly. If you turn your wheel while moving, you dont tend to get in to the spot so easily as you cant tuck your car in quite as well. Its a common mistake I see people doing when theyre failing at parking.

I just suck at it lol

I am excellent at parallel parking. I got tons of practice living in on post housing while in the Army. There were no actual spaces, so we had to parallel park. I had a big ol' buick back then too. There was one time my friend didn't think I could park because there was no room for mistake. I did it first try!!!

 

[amiok]

Haha. Apparently I'm the only one who is awful at it, oh well.

 

[mechanicJT]

It is just practice. Both cities I have visited the DMV at had a practice and test spot there. Go when they are closed on the weekend and practice till you get it. Your car will definitely be harder than some. You could always get one of those cars that parallel park themselves.

I suck at video games and do not consider myself to have great hand and eye coordination. It was doing it over and over that made me a pro.
