Two feet wider, but at least they don’t need to park in conventional spots. Except shit like Escalades exist, which are close to 8’ and are impossible to see around when I’m trying to back out of a spot.
I drive a small truck (Santa Cruz) and I always have to chuckle about how mine looks like a hot wheels car next to the lifted monstrosities around here.
This is why, whenever I can, I back into parking lot spots. It’s much safer to back into a space because it has no oncoming traffic, just 2 parked cars to squeeze between and one to stop before hitting it. And then I drive out frontways so I can see. My Odyssey rear camera is very helpful for parking but useless for seeing someone zooming out of left field.
I started by always backing into my apartment space when I come home from work, as a little gift to morning me who’s always in a hurry. It’s also one of the things they say people should do during wildfire season, and probably applies to most emergencies.

I always love when I’m stuck between two small-penis-mobile trucks in a parking space.
It’s why when I do drive, I drive a compact. I can’t imagine trying to get out of a car or into one with two of those monstrosities around me.

That’s a good idea, actually. I should probably get into the habit of it, I just have a bad pre-camera mentality.
