Well other than my Vette, I had my Ford 4x4 12 years before trading it off for this HHR last month. I cannot park this thing straight if my life depended on it. Today at Costco, I purposely made sure this thing was straight. We get out, I start laughing, followed by "where'd you learn how to park?"

Anyone else out their doing this and willing to admit it!

 

I am the same way with my HHR i have always had a hard time parking it, i guess I'm just used to driving longer cars.

 

You are not alone on this one...trust me. And I thought it was just a girl thing...you have made me feel so much better. Thank you.

 

I back halfway into the spot looking through the rear window, then use the mirrors to make sure im straight with the lines/adjacent cars. I find it easier than my cavalier.

 

I have no problem parking it straight, now parallel to the lines is another story

 

I don't have a problem parking straight but I always seem to park right over the white line between two parking spots

 

Looks like we need to initiate a recall. Can ya see that? Cars being recalled because they won't park straight!

 

Oh thank GOODNESS I'm not the only one with parking 'issues'
I went from my S10 to Blackie and I had no problem parking Indy--but for some reason, can't seem to get this guy between the lines

I think that's why I park away from most other cars!

 

OMG this is so cool. When I joined the gang at Original Mikes I felt like a moron cuz I couldnt get her straight. Thank you for this thread!

 

I've never had that problem but I've noticed parking spaces vary in size in different parts of the country. What I like about the HHR is it's so small, you don't have to make sure it's straight so others don't hit you.
