yes 3 forward and 3 back fit like a glove. Parking this thing is easy once you get the hang of it. Larger tires slide it right in. No joke I parked it in between these two trucks. The smaller hummer YAH http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

Now let's see you get out.

Better yet, try it with two low to the ground vehicles like a porsche and ferrari. Bet that might cost you some. Visibility out the back is nonexistent.

When I first got my H3 i had to get in and out of the car multiple times to parallel park.. I was kind of embarrassed about it.. hehhe considering my truck is bright yellow...
I am now feeling totally comfortable with parking and driving.. it is amazing how my familiarity driving and handling the truck changes with time....

Nice job. When I was in Georgetown a couple of months ago my wife had to help me parellel park my ford sporttrac plus it was a left hand side spot which I had not done before. If I had the H1 it would have been no problem.
If you were driving and H1 it would have been even easier than in the H3.
I am not sure if it just happens to be that Hummer owners know how to parrellel park or if Hummer vehicles make it easier.

The picture is a little decieving, thiers about 3feet of space left, between the vehicles give or take. it took 2 backwards and forwards to get it out. In biger spaces I find myself getting out and checking alot when backing up. My girl freind was amazzed > her comment I guesss you dont need me to get out and check this one http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Nope. Mine is black and usually stays in PA except in September when I go to Stone Harbor for a week.

I just hope when you got it out of there it didn't look like that box truck in front of you http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

After two drinks got it out with out worry, Hey have any of you noticed that when you paralel park and you are backing up > sometimes your rear tire and bumper is over the front of the car behind you. Its pretty funny **** > I got out to check the other night becuase I was sure I had no room left to back up and I was about 8 to 12 inches over the front end of a Toyota corala. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

Nimble as a minx... Hopefully the owners of the other trucks there didnt pull the ole "Damn Hummer owners" and slightly pop the clutch a bit in reverse. Great picture. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
