That sucks, 3 over 6 months. Its only 2 days for me, 3 hours a day. Paralell parking is very easy! MY instructor (who plays guitar btw!) told me a neat trick. Pull right next to the car thats in front of the space, at least a foot away. Then make ur rear bumper line up with that cars rear bumper. Turn your wheel all the way right and look in ur left mirror. Watch as you see the car behind you's head light appears, then as you see the second one stop. Have it so the 2nd headlight is lined up w/ the car. Then cut the wheel straight. Now watch your right side of the winshield where it seperates the door and windshield. Have the front cars left back corner pass the windsheild about 6-8". Then cut your wheel all the ay left and creep back, You'll be a little too far back so just pull up a lil. ASk ur instructor about it when he teaches you. Hope you get my luck, I nailed it all 3 times. Hightway driving was fun untill the belt fell off the water pump. The engine was over heating and the battery was low, and the steering was hard. We got off and pulled over and after a freind of his drove by and stopped, he told us what it was. So i finsihed the lesson in a volvo instead of the celica. Both cars were very nice. Gl sixstrings! :)
