[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will get used to it, but the nuggets problem with parking a minivan is that they are so long and the turning radius is so wide that you can hardly ever turn right into a spot without either backing in or going back and forth a few times.  Just get used to looking for spots without other cars next to them.[/quote]

Along with this, I drive a compact SUV and hate coming out of the grocery store and discovering that a minivan or SUV has parked right next to me.  It may be technically parked within the lines, but leaves me with almost no room to open the driver’s door and squeeze in (and I’m thin).  On a couple of occasions I’ve had to Jimmy/squeeze/maneuver to get my infant’s car seat in or out of the car (rear facing convertible car seat behind the passenger seat keeps me from trying to enter/exit on that side).  Cars aren’t getting smaller, so why don’t parking space sizes reflect the actual size of cars while still allowing people to get themselves and their kids in and out?[/quote]
