I worked with a guy with a huge pickup....he always has to drive into small parking lots and underground garages. I think the record was 6 minutes to park....he must have re-aligned and slowly turned that rig like 20 times....talk about trans wear....and all the while that big thirsty v8 is gulping down fuel....

Talk about unproductive and wasteful.....

If I had more room I'd go for an SDL though....I've ridden in one and they're pretty awesome.

Just BACK into your parking space. I do that with my truck in the driveway, so it's easier to drive OUT.

And I'll just tell you, I know where there are TWO 300SDLs here in Memphis, just waiting and wanting to become someone's projects.
