It was 1975 in upstate New York in a 1974 Dodge Monaco. I got off easy on the parallel parking because the snow banks were huge. I got close to the bank and the examiner said "good enough."
 
@ ChuckV: "Close enough".....now that's funny, I don't care who you are…..I never could get close enough, without a re-do again…..
 
I dont remember. Really, I remember being nervous but not the car. I am getting old.
 
NY in 96 in a dodge dynasty. Passed first try in the middle of a white out. My test started with "can you see that red dot?" "yes". "Then pull up to it and stop." It finished with "you've stopped too close to the stop sign and your front wheels are over the crosswalk line." "I don't believe so, are you certain?" The grader made a valiant attempt to look by opening the door and looking. "nevermind, there's at least 3" covering them and I can't see a thing, you can keep the point"
 
1963 in Minnesota in a 1950 Buick Roadmaster, no power steering but I passed the parallel parking test anyway!
 
I had one of those old barracuda's, slant 6, I think it was a 237.. bullet proof engines… they would run on no oil for a week…tried like hell to kill that car and just couldn't do it.. I think mine was a 64, one of the small ones..
looked like the valient from Plymouth.. then they turned them into Mussel cars.. with 440's and sixpacks on them…
I wish I still had one of those slant 6's…they made two of them I think.. a 237 and a 215 or something like that.. they put them in everything for a couple years there.. Did you ever notice that you never heard a Dodge or Plymouth commercial that bragged about its fuel milage.. it was either a little slant or some big ass horsepower.. nothing in between.. Papa
