Don’t Drive a Big Truck Unless You Can Handle It

I have a truck. A Chevy Cheyenne. It's what I would call a standard size truck. I, like most Texans, am a huge truck fan. I am always hauling or carrying something around. For some people, a truck is nothing more than a car with a bed in the back. I personally hate double cabs even though they are the norm.

Well, sometime along the way, a bed was put behind a double cab, then shortly after, a full size or extended bed was put behind a double cab and now we have beasts that can be a problem.

Now I'm sure there's going to be a hell of a lot of you who DON'T make these mistakes and have learned to compensate for your trucks size, but there are a lot of people who don't.

How many times have you seen these trucks edging over into another parking space? How many times have you seen them sticking out of the space, or even not parked between the lines?

I am positive that none of these trucks has yet reached the size where they can't fit in a standard parking space. The problem is the drivers haven't adjusted for the size of their trucks when parking. That's when you get stuff like this (I was in the wife's silver Ford Edge today):

Just so you know, I was in the space first. Also, for some reason this is the second time I've been nose to nose with this person and the last time they tapped me enough to push the license in.

Now this time, I decided to investigate further. Whoever it was had a least a foot and a half of space behind them, meaning they didn't need to pull so far forward. This tells me one of two things. No. 1: you don't know how to park. Or no. 2: you're so concerned with someone tagging the back of your truck that your willing to tag someone in front of your truck.

Anyways, if you have a big truck, good on you! Just make sure that, like your weiner (or lady junk), you know how to use it before it gets you in trouble.
