Re: Be honest, can you parallel park?

Of course I can, and I can do it in a stick-shift, too.

 

 

I can also back into a parking space, and I can back up in a straight line.

 

 

The only thing that I can't do is back up with a trailer.

 

 

It ends up going all cattywompus on me.

I can't back out of the garage without taking off a rearview mirror--done it twice!!

Re: Be honest, can you parallel park?

Yep, both left & right hand sides.

 

Had too because in college, the cheap parking was at the city street meters. Parking on campus lots cost much more!

 

I must have done it with a stick....had a little two seater coupe with a 4 gear back then.

Re: Be honest, can you parallel park?

Yes exceptionally well I may say! And every time I do I get a little "smirk" because my 1st love taught me & he had lots of patience BUT no choice.  He lived in the city (on street parking both sides of street) I lived in the country with a big wide driveway.

 

I'm even smirking typing this cuz I think of him often & how young we were and the silly things I can remember YET ask me about yesterday and I have to think hard!!! Lol
