Regular perpendicular parking -- especially in the tight spots around here -- I am not good at. Bad spatial skills plus where I grew up we had huge diagonal parking spaces!
Did you grow up in CA? I grew up in CA, around the beach towns, and there were lots of diagonal parking spots.

But you’re admitting you can’t even park the car you have. There are no more lousy big car drivers than there are lousy small car drivers. Don’t blame it on the big vehicles, blame it on the drivers. I can parallel park or back into a space with my F150 like nobody’s business.
Once I get used to the larger car I bought I'm pretty sure I won't have an issue. It's already getting easier. Some of the ones I've watched, those SUVs don't look new. Maybe they bought it used, but I do know lots of people can't park well.
If you can park your gigantic F150 well, good for you.
