I like the analogy of this data structure to a parking lot quite a bit, and will likely use it while teaching the data structure.

I’m not sure I like using the term ‘lot’ in speech.  Maybe `garage` or `park`?

<begin not serious suggestion>

Instead of speaking about where to put a Car, we could speak of where to put other things that have a similar layout.  Perhaps a place that holds animals?  Then we could have a durable place to put horses.  A stable_stable.

In the interest of brevity, may I suggest std::lot ? A std::lot<Car> seems to convey what a parking lot is.
