Holy cows in India. That sounds like a trip.

Drive in downtown Charleston all the time, long bed, crew cab, but SRW.

TIGHT turns, left turns can become 3 point turns. haha. fun stuff. Oh, and there is only one parking lot I can fit in, cant parallel park anywhere (too big)...its good.

Downtown houston is MUCH easier to get around in than Charleston, IMO. I was just there in my truck last month...

Yeah I would think so! And to the guy unable to parallel park ...

Half the time, when I can I just park in BFE so nobody minds if I double park. I like my fenders...

Those areas ain't no joke. Especially around major events like that. I think I-Drive was designed for nothing bigger than a ricer to drive though. I have only had my truck through there once and I hated every mile of it.

The best part is that many places around here are going vertical with their parking and we all know how well some of our trucks do in parking garages.

How about going through the drive through at the bank? We have some here that i cant even fit through and others that i manage with a couple inches if im lucky on each side of the dually fenders. it sucks, especially with the lobby closing around 3 or 330 and the only thing open is the drive through
