I took mine in the Lodi DMV just this July, and trust me it's easy as hell. I didn't take it in my ti, actually in some kind of Toyota. But anyways, don't worry about the parallel parking. I mean I actually hit the curb during the test while parking and still passed. Oh and the great thing about the ti is the tiny butt... You can practically just drive into the spot, that tiny ass can fit in everywhere. __________________ RIP Tonka Hitlerietta 08/03/04 - 01/25/05 | | | 01-06-2005, 01:06 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 | i drove a jeep grand cherokee for my driving test. nailed the parallel parking section in one shot, and passed just shy of a perfect score. i think it was laughing my face off at the person failing the parallel parking while driving a suzuki sidekick that made me lose a few points. don't sweat it. getting nervous will probably do more to get in your way. i'm sure you already know what you're doing and you'll do fine. | | | 01-06-2005, 02:33 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Seattle Posts: 140 | I took mine in a Jeep Grand Cherokee also. I screwed up parallel parking because I couldn't see the cones I was supposed to park inbetween very well. =( I nailed backing around a corner and everything else though!
