you might want to practice a lot. here's a quick crash cource in paralell parking. pull up next to the car in front of your target spot (since you said there will be cones on an off road test you'll have to pretend). you want to put the rear end in the last 3/4 of the spot that you intend to occupy and idealy you should start to turn the front in as soon as you have the clearance (in the real world three inches is acceptable; you have to be able to judge the location of your front end). practice in a parking lot -- that is the only way you'll beat this one if you can't obtain a smaller car. *wavering voice* be the barge .......... bbbeeee ttthhhheeee bbbaaarrrggggeeee
