Yes, driving a straight shift, on either side of the road, and even on a circle, such as around the courthouse circle.

Perhaps my one claim to fame!

Yes, I drive a Toyota 4 Runner.

I can parallel park perfectly on an empty street. 

I have managed it when forced to, but I need a calming pill when I'm done. We had to pass this test in Driver's Ed. I think my teacher was loopy half the time and just gave us all passing marks (except for the girl that tried to drive us off a cliff).

Yes. Sometimes I don't get as close to the curb as I'd like.

Yes, I can parallel park, and granted I'm on my second cocktail for the evening, but I can't seem to figure out how parallel parking changes depending on the side of the street you're on.

I can see it being  more difficult to park on the left side.

I can't parallel park but my son got it first try.He couldn't pull into a parking lot space...he would get so frustrated.

What is a straight shift?  Is that the same as a stick shift?

That's the reason I do not parallel park. I can do it in three moves, but if I know I have to parellel park I take my old car and not my new car. lol

Yes my father taught me how to drive and was determined to teach me as if his life depended on it lol after a few near misses I finally did it and just kept practicing till I got it

it, later on he taught me how to drive a stick shift.

I parallel park at least once a week, and a few years ago I taught my nephew how to do so in a local Hilton parking lot.   Now, every time I parallel park, I think of my nephew.
