He was testing you a little, took my test in this, it us easy to park, truth be told there were times when I would park it on the sidewalk my first year in SF, someone stole my EGR filter one night when I did that.
My wife and I taught her friend from Canada to parallel park, and to drive a manual shift in my 240 SX when we lived in Conroe.
My wife could back a trailer around the block, it is really pretty impressive. Her Dad would not let her drive a truck unless she could back a trailer down his driveway, which is pretty long and not all that wide, oat trailer. Made her show him she could change a tire
She backed a little log splitter we rented for the weekend into the garage, our driveway is not long, but it is steep and canted at a wierd angle. The guy across the street literally appluaded.
