Re: Knowing Your Car

i have no problem driving my SUV.

however i do have some trouble, with parking mainly, when i drive my sis's car, or my parent's SUV. i find myself constantly guessing and asking myself; can i make it, will i hit it, or should i back up more?

i would have to say, i know the turning radius and physical dimensions of my vehical pretty well, even it's ground clearance (i drive over alot of shit - curbs, branches, concrete parking barriers, etc.).
even when i'm downtown i am more comfortable driving my SUV, even though its slightly bigger, instead of driving anyone elses car. in some cases i even have to fold my mirrors in to get by, but in the end i always manage and never recieve any damage.

i suppose if its just a matter of getting use to your car; finding its capabilities and understanding its limitations.
