This morning it’s parked “conventionally”.

No, I’m not stalking this Smart car, it’s just on my way to work ;-)

Parking two nose-in would be slightly larger than a normal vehicle footprint – perhaps (ironically) more similar to the width and length of a Hummer.

But I have found many parking spots that only a smart can use. Just one of the many joys of this car.

I thought the length was specifically made to match the width of most other cars, to enable this kind of nose-in parking.

Would the Ann Arbor Parking enforcement pass it by or write a ticket? I hear it is allowed in NYC.
