    Between 1988 and now the f150 only increased in width by .9 of an inch. Parking spots are set by the size of the f150 because they are consistent and abundant.

      Yeah but they were massive to start with, they’ve always been huge.

      Europe has smaller parking spaces because Europe point blank refused to accommodate larger vehicles just because. The US is so obsessed with cars that the idea of going “no that thing is stupidly big we’re not accommodating it”, is not an acceptable thought.
