I took my driver’s test in a 1964 Cadillac Series 62 hard top. If you can parallel park that car, you can park anything.

About the time I took my driving test, a close friend took his test in his parents '58 or '59 Oldsmobile 88 and it was massive Road Boat… But when he had to parallel park, he really messed up, he ran the rear tire into the curb, he gunned it, the car jumped the curb and he ran square into a telephone pole.
He was so upset, the examiner drove the car back, needless to say, Barry failed and the bumper was so smashed in we had to remove the bumper just so the license plate could swing down to access the filler spout under the license plate…
E brake? I don’t think I had one in my Morris. Even so the car would grind in first and pop out unless I held it. So taking three girls home after work and had to stop on the hill across from the sheriffs office. With the extra weight and bad gear, everything I could do to get started again on the hill. They cheered me on though.
Flag me if you dare. And I hope no one was blank enough to flag the professor. I see he deleted his post. He always has interesting comments.
