The bank drive thoughs here are so narrow. I don't think a fat bottom girl would make it though. Even being a SRW and folding the mirrors in I pucker up. Plus I have to hang out the window like a monkey to get the freakin' canister.

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.
Heh, I haven't taken it into a parking garage yet .... but i know they SOUND good in there!

I landed in one because I had no choice. The measurements seemed alright but my antenna hit every support on the way up. Not a good feeling.

Thankfully I don't have a fat bottomed truck(though my GF is and I love it!). It is bad enough with a quad cab, long box. My back alley is small enough that I need a 3 point turn to get into my drive way. As for parking..I don't even go downtown anymore.

I was up in Vail skiing 2 weeks ago and the only open parking was in a parking garage...man that was tight with the lift. When I pulled in one of the chains hanging down from the clearance bar hit my roof, but I managed to make it through with about and inch of clearance between my stacks and the concrete roof. That was pretty nerve-racking...I was just waiting to scrape my stacks and then be stuck in there.

I get white knuckles every time I stop to fuel up.

Close calls? Not many. They usually get out of my way.

You know what the silver stuff between a PS's dually wheels is? Slow hondas...
