Anyone else park (sometimes wayy) too short?
I don't know if it's my constantly consuming fear of curbs/scratches and or my lack of experience with the length of these cars' hoods, but I often end up a few feet short of a parking garage wall when I feel like if I go another inch I'll hit it. Do I just have insanely horrible depth perception or does anyone else experience this too?

I feel like my hood is about on the garage wall when I park. However once I get out and look, there is usually like a couple of feet to go so.....yes on all our depth perceptions.

Good thing in my garage I have a tennis ball hanging from the ceiling, so when it touches the windshield, I stop inching forward.

I usually do park fairly short, but yesterday I felt a little bold at a parking lot and ended up scrubbing my the lower air dam on those parking stones.
