George, out here in Texas, parallel parking slots
are 42 feet long to allow for extended cab four
door big dually diesel pickups.
True fact, when I got assigned to Washington, DC
in 1995 I had a Dodge 4X4 extended cab. The
first time I entered a covered parking garage
where the attendant assured me I would fit, they
had to get a construction crew out to extricate
my truck from the parking lot. Even the slots in
the lot of the apartment where I lived were too
small for the truck, the manager assigned a
"special" parking place for me. After about two
months, I gave up and traded the truck on a
teeny-weeny beltway bomber like everybody else
drove.
Uhhhh, out here in Texas, I got me another truck!
