Long story short: i was out to lunch and i realized that my bumper is only an inch away from the concrete block. Any further i would have crack the bumper 
I have driven many cars with similar problems, but the Z takes the cake. |
Judging distance of the nose from the parking space or wall edge is difficult for me too. I ran several test pull-ins into a parking space with a low curb (so I wouldn't hit the air dam) and found what the correct distance looks like when I'm lined up straight and looking out the side window below the mirror. With a little practice, you can get it down fairly well. If closing on a wall, use bottom edge of wall as the alignment guide as with the curb. In a lined space, use the line in front of you as the alignment guide. The car's short, so you can afford to leave a little more space than usual in front and still not stick out in the back.
That's my approach and I'm sticking with it until I hit something.
