hahaha so true - it's actually 4 or 5 lengths, max :-D
Aside: Funny "car" story:
My daughter is 18 and just learned to drive in the last 18 months. She still
has problems parallel parking. I, on the other hand, can parallel park in 1.1
car lengths [sometimes less] without breaking a sweat. It's hard to teach that
to a extremely independent child who argues with darn near every word that comes
out of my mouth. On Tuesday she took my Camry to school for an after-school
practice session with her school vocal group and I got a call about 9:20 PM:
Her: "Daddy, I need help, I've tried parking about 50 times and I cannot do it."
Me: [looking out the window] Ok, back up - now straighten the wheel.. straight -
now *turn* - no you won't hit your mom's car - you're two feet away - it's okay
- go ahead - *turn*.
Her: Oh! [as car flawlessly glides into the more-than-ample 1.5 car-length space.]
We dads of extremely independent children live for these moments :-D
