A street side parking space that has enough room in advance of the intended
spot, so that
one can simply glide into the space, without the necessity of parallel parking or jumping the curb (not good for vehicles with CV joints, but done regularly, nevertheless). The more vacant spots in advance of the
target spot, the better.
Stoners, the morbidly obese and people over 50, will
cruise endlessly for glide in spots. It is rumored that the last glide in parking space in
Manhattan was spotted sometime around 1935.
And for the
really serious parker, there is the Super Glide In. (Which is a Glide In combined with a Glide Out.)
