Well, a slight exaggeration.

I was cruising though the parking lot, looking for a space. It looked like there was one between a Suburban and an Explorer, so I start to swing it.

Doh! There was an xB in the space. Had to back up and keep looking.

I forget how small my xB is until I see another one on the road or see it parked among SUVs.

 

try pulling up to a Civic in a Daewoo Lanos Sport....fun stuff

 

I've taken to not pulling all the way into parking spaces but to rather leave my "tail" in line with the adjoining vehicles. If you pull all the way into a space then the spot looks empty until the last second to space hunters. I'd rather avoid creating a situation that startles a distracted driver.

 

Ford Fetivas are small. A guy at work has one and I park next to him to make the box look big. His car is only as long as the rear doors when lined up with the front.

 

Thats exactly what I do. Park as far back as you can !

 

I watched as like 5 people tried to pull into my space at the South Park the other week

 

yeah I dont pull forward all the way for another reason, afraid to hit the bumper on thouse tire stops...they are just too high.

 

Same here. I'm always afraid I'll bust my lip...
