{chuckle} One of my neighbors has a Smart car, which is always parked beside my '89... Makes my Cabby look like a limo by comparison...

In relation to the size, make note of how that ginormous Ford land yacht is parked...
Most newer (built within last 10 years) parking lots/structures in AZ have wide parking spots so behemoths like that Ford can easily fit.
But, yeah... every time I get into my Cab while just sitting in the garage I think, "Damn, this thing is small!", or "Damn, that van sure looks big!"

yesterday there was a shopping cart in the space i wanted. the cart was right on the left side line in the middle. I had enough room to fit with room on he right side for my wife to get out.. and i prolly had a good 4ft behind the car. i love small cars. i hate parking my f250 w/8ft bed.

Bought my son a 1990 Ford Festiva- it is even smaller than my '84 Cabby. Told him to always park in the back of the lot if he wants to find his car
Silly Rabbit, cabbys are for chicks...

when i get to a parking area that has "compact car" spots, i take up all 3 spots so the idiots driving the SUV and 4 door sedans wont park there.

You reminded me of something!
I once came out of home depot and i could NOT find my car for the life of me.
I had to walk all the way to the other end of the lot to finally see it.
at the time i thought it was silly that he chose to park right there in front of my car!

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Not that there is many massive car parks here, but i have an app ony iPhone.
It helps you find your car, once you set it up.
I confess I have only used it once when, at an out of town super store.
There isn't that many huge SUVs or cars for that matter here, do the cabby stacks up well.
Mind you with fuel running at about £1.40 a gallon really big engines are out for me.
Cheers

Wow, I'm thoroughly impressed! He/she got that dually straight and between the lines! They're incapable of parking (much less driving) anything that large here, though they do it anyway...Tis sad since I can put a full-size truck-tractor in such spots so long as it's one of the shorter wheelbase day-cabs.

I would occasionally lose my Samurai in parking lots....until I lifted it. Then I would just look for the antenna poking up over the minivan roofs!
(not really an option for the cabby though)

I have a picture of my Cabby parked next to an F250, looks so teeny! I'll try to find it.
