(arrows, ^, show direction of motion, to Y which is where I parked)



Shortly after that I swung it around and parked in a spot about 210 degrees rotation from my starting position, and then had a good laugh. :-)

How long did it take you to do that?!!! F'ing impressive!!

Oh, and by the way, welcome to the forum!

Do'nt worry, you'll get used to driving the Yaris. The poster who said you get used to driving anything is right! I drove large vehicles before, Jeep Cherokee's, domestic cars with V8 engines, and one day I switched to Japanese imports and found that these cars were best for me. I had a couple of Hondas which I absolutely adored, especially the CRX, and this is my first Toyota.
