All in all, street parking sucks. However, it has given me an ample time to vastly improve my previously mediocre parallel parking skills. Honestly, I can now reliably fit the car I’m driving into ridiculously small spaces. Now, I don’t know about this “car length + 2ft” business, I do just fine with 4-5 inches. Since I just parked yet again in a spot that my car had no earthly right to be, I just thought I would share. Street parking still sucks though, and I’m putting off making my new car purchase until I get a spot in my building.
