Great stuff, I got several usable tips. Here is one that might be of use to urban drivers. I call it Mario's tip. Sometimes a parallel park is the only option but here is a way to make it more efficient. Often these spots are in front of store display windows. If you look at the reflection in the window you can see a much more accurate view of how close the bumpers are and therefore you can reverse the maximum distance. It could very well eliminate one or more back and forth manuvers.
