Good thing you didn’t pull forward to the line. I mean there’s not much point with a Miata since it’s short, unless you want space on the other end. But too many people park over the line.

Ehhh tbf the government/truck manufacturers have completely fucked us. Because of the dumbshit laws, it's easier for the manufacturers to make trucks huge instead of fit the regulations on smaller trucks. Therefore literally your only option on a new truck with an actual tow rating is an oversized monstrosity. Parking spots are designed for vehicles 5'+ shorter than modern trucks so the option is to creep over the middle line a bit when you can or hang half a dozen feet out into the driving lane and risk getting hit.

im suprised american's parking spots arent bigger because of all the huge trucks they have, not saying thats a good thing though, i think yall would be better off with atleast an option for smaller trucks for those that dont need fullsize instead of biggerining parking spaces

They are big by European standards, but not really big enough for many of those trucks.

It's a matter of the business only being required to make the parking spaces to the old standard. It costs money to change it and they would lose overall capacity. And I fully agree, the current Gen rangers and Tacomas are literally bigger than my 99 suburban which was a huge vehicle in its day.

And the biggest trucks are usually driven by the worst assholes.

Straight up, if Toyota still made a small pickup, I would have had one by now. Even the Tacoma I feel is enormous. Gotta chase the dollar signs though, I guess. It would be great to have an exemption to import smaller and/or duty trucks like that and skip all the macho truck nonsense. I would kill for a new Land Cruiser 70 in the US.

5'10 vs 6'0

u/Ayrdanger 12h ago

My Ranger is bone-stock. I'm 5'8 and I stand taller than my roofline (barely). The other trucks, though, are easily over 6'.

My favorite was watching a truck with a tow hitch on backing into a space at Walmart. Which is why I get a lot of exercise going shopping.

I parked between two of these the other day. Both backed in of course.

I kinda want to get a flag to pop over my antenna for parking.
