I see so many examples everywhere and none of them helped me fix these problems, so if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I have explained my errors in the red Highlighted sections in comment form....

ParkedCar.minparked ParkedCar is the class, so this is a reference to a static variable. But minparked is (correctly) an instance variable. You have to refer to it using an instance of the ParkedCar class, not the class itself, as in
ParkedCar car = (something)
if (car.minparked (etc)

[deleti0n]

not to sure on what you mean there...i've been working at it for about 8 hours..my brain is fried

[JamesCherrill]

Eg

class Demo {
   static int x=0;
   int y = 0;  // instance variable - like yours
  ...
}

// somewhere else...
Demo d = new Demo();
int a;
a = Demo.x;  // correct, x is static
a = Demo.y;  // error, y is an instance variable
a = d.x;     // not strictly an error, but bad practice
a = d.y;     // correct

When you have a number of errors always start by fixing the first one. It's often the case that one error causes further erros later and when yuou fix the first one the others sometimes go away

ps: See this thread from 20 minutes ago - same problem

I would like to add something else. Your first constructor is wrong:

public ParkedCar(String mk, String mod, String col, String lic, int min)
{
  mk = make;
}

Here you take the value of make(local attribute) which is null and you assign it to the argument. The idea is to take the argument and put it into the local attribute.
You correctly do that in your second constructor:

public ParkedCar(ParkedCar car2)
{
  make = car2.make;
}

You take the argument car2.make and put it into the make. So do the same at the first constructor:

public ParkedCar(String mk, String mod, String col, String lic, int min)
{
  make = mk;
  model = mod;
}
