When you drive cars other than Prowlers do you find yourself leaving a LOT of space between the front of the car and the curb or line in the parking space?

We drove Rebeccas Mercedes on vacation and I constantly would pull into a parking space and leave several feet of space in the front.

I have a few times with my daily driver (Chevy Tahoe). The problem with the Tahoe is that if you don't pull deep into the parking space the back bumper stick outside of the space. I've had to get back in and pull a little farther in the space.

I had to edit this 3 times so the sexual innuendos would not be so glaring! LOL

Randy-- we were staying in a highrise condo on vacation and I'd look down in the parking lot and see two to three feet of space in front of the car. Maybe because I drive the Prowler daily I just subconsciuosly don't pull into a parking space all the way.?.? Of course that hasn't stopped me from scraping the nose at least a dozen times!

not going in deep enough, going in too deep, get back in to try it again....the real problem is when someone else beats you to the space

TUIB, That is a problem. Another problem is when the spot you wanted to occupy is taken so you are left with the tight space next to it!

Only when driving the PT. I don't give it a second thought in the Durango.

Rich - that was my point - I wasn't giving it any thought -since I drive the Prowler as my primary transportation I have just become accustomed to only pulling in until the driver side door is about even with the rear door on other cars and when I am driving other cars I guess I just stop short in the parking space.
