Congratulations! I remember my driver's test back in the day. Nothing like trying to parallel park a Suburban. 🙂
"...back in the day"? Wiseass! 😛
For the record, I am not 16 years young.

congrats! parallel parking is a bitch when you're driving a station wagon.
Can't say I've tried. Being previously trained in the van school of thought, getting used to a sedan on the OTHER side of the road was tuff!
Yay! Now you can drive to Oregon in August! 
Congratulations! 👍
I've made it a point to try and avoid parallel parking at all costs--I hate it!

Congrats deschutes!! 
I failed it the first time - not because of parallel parking, but because I accelerated through a yellow. 😳

When I took my test I had not learned to parallel park with any skill. I could do it if I had to but it would take a couple of tries. I told the guy administering the test that I sucked at parallel parking and that I was just going to get a zero so I may as well skip that part. The car I had was pretty big and I swear it would barely have fit between the traffic cones they had set out. Plus the cones were so low to the ground you could hardly see them when navigating. The guy made me do it anyway and then yelled at me for doing a crappy job. That pissed me off. SO in my first driver's licence picture, my face was all red. 👎
I parallel park just fine now.

1+1=2?
seriously though, I'm glad you're having a good day. Sometimes good days are hard to come across you gotta cherish the good times.
my day got off to a good start.
1 beer + 1 beer = 2 beers 👍

So now that we have covered drinking AND driving in this thread....
Everyone needs to take their driver's test in Massachusetts.
My test:
Examiner shows up, parks his pickup truck. Gets out of truck, at which point truck begins to roll away because examiner forgot to put it in park.
Examiner gets in my car.
Drivers test consists of me driving a total of 1/2 mile around one small town block where I never encountered another moving vehicle, had to make two right turns, one left turn, drive around a curvey road, and at one point stop and back up 50 feet. No parallel parking, no three point turn, no nothing else.

That sounds like something I would do!! I remember taking "driver education" classes. I specifically remember my instructor saying numerous times while I was driving: "...well, you just failed your road test...." I was so nervous on my test day, but somehow, I managed to do a perfect parallel park. I've never been able to do it like that since. 😛

I used to drive a van with huge side mirrors and a reverse sensor. I was a whiz at parallel parking. I'd even reverse into perpendicular lots, just because I could 😎Brian Pavlovitz said:
And then I had to drive right-sidedly.
I wonder what this newly-acquired ambidextrosity on the road will do to my leftiness? If I never turn up in Mpls you will know how I met my end 😳
