Since my car is lowered, I usually have no problem seeing other cars when parallel parking.

Today, I park in front of a 360 Stradale. Those are some low cars. I could only see the top half of the windscreen and the roof. Tough to judge from that perspective.

No, I didn't back into it. :)

That is low! I think my old Europa (the lowest car I ever owned) was about 42 inches.
