I made a comment about backing in to a parking stall, as I quickly learned when driving a service van, it is easier to back in than out. I have since "graduated" to a service truck, full sized 4x4 with an extended cab with a utility cap. You know the type...no windows on the back. I have a great awareness for my vehicle and its size. I can parallel park that sucker in a spot smaller vehicles have avoided. (yeah, back-up camera is amazing, but that died after about a year and a half). Ok, before I annoy you with my tales of awesomeness, I must admit, when I am in the Vette, I SUCK. The long nose, the low seating position, the manual transmission, the small mirrors. It all adds up to me looking like a douche, trying to find a spot easier to park in. I know that it will become easier with time, heck, I have only had her out a few times, but I wanted to share my shame with you......Wow, feels good to get it off my chest:seeya:

[QUOTE="Range, post: 43039, member: 1568"] I made a comment about backing in to a parking stall, as I quickly learned when driving a service van, it is easier to back in than out. I have since "graduated" to a service truck, full sized 4x4 with an extended cab with a utility cap. You know the type...no windows on the back. I have a great awareness for my vehicle and its size. I can parallel park that sucker in a spot smaller vehicles have avoided. (yeah, back-up camera is amazing, but that died after about a year and a half). Ok, before I annoy you with my tales of awesomeness, I must admit, when I am in the Vette, I SUCK. The long nose, the low seating position, the manual transmission, the small mirrors. It all adds up to me looking like a douche, trying to find a spot easier to park in. I know that it will become easier with time, heck, I have only had her out a few times, but I wanted to share my shame with you......Wow, feels good to get it off my chest:seeya: [/QUOTE]
