For the daily drivers, what’s your strategy when parking perpendicularly to a parking parking curb to pull in close enough but not smash the curb? The parking sensors don’t help with curbs, right? Maybe the biggest PITA about having a low car.

If you pull all the way up in a Camry you will scrub the bumper.
A GT3 is short enough to pull in far enough but still be feet away from the curb.

Tilt mirror down if you’re not sure.

not that. Asking about the front when perpendicular. I basically get out and look as i inch forward. Haven’t figured out how to life hack this issue. PITA.

No parking sensors on GT3.

Ah, yes. Practice. Or find a shiny car to use as a mirror.
But you will hit anyway.

A couple of things I do- where I live every other vehicle is a big SUV or pick up. I use them as a gauge. If the rear end is about equal then there is plenty of room before hitting the parking block. In some lots there is a red fire line. I just get the rear inside the red line and again plenty of room before the block. Of course also practice. It still happens.

Best way to avoid problems is to back in and use video can get much closer behind than in front
