We parked our car here. Big deal, you say. Ha, it's sloped like a roof. Take your foot off the brake and you're headed downhill at top speed. When we left, the lot was full, with cars double parked all over, and not a driver in sight. I had to squeeze out through a small gap with only two inches on each side. Surprisingly, I made it.
