A friend says he can and has done this with only 8" in front and 4" to spare in back
Obviously, you never fought for a place to park in San Francisco, where the braille method of parking is used. When I lived there, up till a couple of years ago, you simply dealt with it.

Of course, your car gets it back, because everyone else there parallel parks the same way

SF is HELL on cars.
