There's little hope for the parking lot problem. In some places, parking spaces are so limited that they shave them down to the minimum in order to get as many spots in a lot as possible. I do hardware shopping at two places....Home Depot, a BIG store chain, and a small local store. Home Depot's spaces must be a foot or more wider than the tiny little spots at the other one.

Handicapped spaces are about the only way to cope, Villan....maybe you should consider applying, and just not use it when spaces are wide enough.
