    I've parked in that row before. That Love's is a true "no joke" situation. Even if you don't have spread axles, you can clear the near side truck with an inch to spare, get into a full 90° jacknife, line up to the hole to "fade it in" the rest of the way, and STILL spend 15-30 minutes trying not to hit the trucks in front of you across the way.
