Is your parking always off ?!

Well ive noticed that everytime i park my 8, whether im backing in or going into. I can never park 100% straight. The lines are never parallel to the car LOL. Am i the only one with this problem ?!?! Could it be the 8 is wider in the back than the front ? Stupid thread i know, but im bored LOL

Haha. The backing is what's terrible for her. The going in is the guy, so I guess I should have said "That's what he and she said." I kinda stretched on that one. Oh well.

Go to europe. I remember seeing when someone was going to parallel park a car but didn't have enough room. They would just back it up onto the side walk and leave it there...
