Parking your Z....straight... in the lines.

ProfessorDave

I agree with fullmonty that using your mirrors to back up all/most of the time will help you get more skilled at getting into those spots straight.

I also use the stick on blind spot mirrors on all my cars. You can see the lines of a parking spot easily with those.

A related pet peeve, anyone notice that MANY drivers don't try to stay between the lines when they park, they either just try to split the difference between cars (causing a domino effect of car after car parked right on the line) or favor the drivers side of their own car, parking too close to the car on the p-side?

why is this a pet peeve? If someone is parked off centre and close to the line, and if you then park right in the middle of the spot, it will be impossible to get out of the car. Not to mention the huge risk of getting scratches and door dings. Yes it leads to a domino effect, but you can't control it. Its all the fault of the idiot in the first spot who parked off centre, or sometimes in winter snow accumulation can block part of the first parking spot, which then forces the first car to be parked off centre.
