LOL....parallel parking was the easiest thing for me to do when I was driving a car. I don't have problems with my truck if I take off the towing ball.....that is the most dangerous part of my truck & I have run into 3 cars with it because I didn't see the little cars in back of my HUGE truck & it was the tow ball that did all the damage. I have learned to take it off when I'm not towing a trailer.

Who would think that a stupid little tow ball could do $800 in damage to a small car? The guy parked right in back of me on the street in front of his house & in backing up to get out of the place (not even driving at 5 mph) it did that massive amount of damage & I couldn't leave without telling the guy.

A few weeks later some idiot parked in back of my truck when I was in a store. He parked in a place that wasn't even a parking spot. I got angry at him & told him it was his fault & I wasn't going to cover the damage.

Another time last year in the snow, another guy parked next to a snow bank that had been graded into a pile instead of parking in a parking spot.....again, right in back of my truck & I nailed his back fender & it dented the whole thing. I paid him off with money for the part & to cover some labor. Figured it was cheaper than dealing with insurance & had him sign a waiver that what I paid was "payment in FULL" & that it was what we agreed on & he couldn't come back for more.

Those last 2 times weren't even in a parallel parking situation.
