I think I do a reasonably good job of parking, especially after my daily driver was a 1963 Dodge pickup for about 9 years. That plus my job at the auto body shop, where I had to squeeze as many vehicles inside the shop as possible before closing at night, gave me some fairly decent skills. My parking skill undergoes a drastic reduction when I get tired though - it's embarassing! Still, I don't see how people can go around leaving their vehicles to shoddily parked. Have they no pride? It's mystifying. I had a job in our local downtown shopping area where the street is one-way, and I used to get a lot of entertainment out of watching people try to parallel park on the left side of the street. They'd go at it six, seven times in a row and still mess it up, leaving their cars all askew and halfway into the next spot. I must have watched dozens of people scrape their wheels on the curb, it was an endless parade of parking mishaps. Why this was so difficult is just baffling.
