[QUOTE="Mayhem, post: 184608, member: 315"] I drive in downtown vancouver all the time during the busy busy hours & rush hour n all that.... I don't have a front or rear camera.. And have no problem driving manouvering or parking it. (SCab) Even do fine in the really narrow single lane streets where the Raptor squeeks between cars parked on either side by inches. It's a little more annoying trying to find a long enough space when I'm driving the Screw, but definately do-able. Certainly waste more gas circling the block for a spot than you would if you were in a mini cooper. I think it's unhealthy to be "overly" paranoid about parking in public... I mean if the maseratis, lambos, and other exotics are street parked.. no reason a raptor cant. Haven't had any issues so far, but I am "strategic" in picking my spots wisely when I can.. Pick spots next to / between expensive cars.. clean cars.. well cared for cars.. Pick spots next to pillars or edges / curbs that leave you blocked on that side from other vehicles etc. Honestly my biggest issue with finding a spot in downtown, is that the Raptor is too tall for many parking garages, and too wide for a few. No problem parking in the street which I prefer anyways... (Had the Raptor broken into in the parking garage). Street parking prevents thefts/vandalism since its so busy all the time. Parking in the major shopping district areas guarantees you'll find other nice cars to park next to. Next biggest issue would be that there are way too many pedestrians, and majority of them ignore most traffic lights.... So you get stuck at lights forever cuz shit heads have no fear of being run over and no respect for drivers. [/QUOTE]
