(and it's an easy spot to get into when you're in a rush!)
that's sort of true to tho about women doing more parking then men. i mean, if i go out then i have to park several times during the day..espcially if i'm going shopping or soemthing...so of course i'd be more likely to hit something over a guy who drove to his friends house and just pulled into a driveway.
am i the only one who has trouble judging the distance they have behind them in the solara?? i always think i'm super close to the car in front of me or behind me and i'll get out and have like 3 feet. yet when i'm parkin up against a garage door i'll think i still have a couple of inches, yet i'll tap the door...that's the one thing that bothers me..front isn't bad, but the back is...like backing into a space..i don't even like to try it.
My friend always complains that I drive through incredibly tight spaces. He shrinks up and screams like a little girl (that's what I tell him at least).
I like driving right into space and I avoid lefts. The opposite of you I guess. I don't know why, I think it's because I learned right turns first when I first learned to drive. I also drive into them very fast, but the parking spaces in Texas are bigger.
