I'm blocked in. there's literally no space between me and either of the cars next to me. the car in back of me is my roommate's, and he's blocked in as well; there's about 3 feet in front of the car in front of my, though.

I've knocked on the doors of a couple neighbors' houses, and everyone is either not home or doesn't know who's car it is. should I just pull out as best I can and fvck up his bumper? (not too worried about my own bumped since, in terms of the body at least, my car is a pos, beater-car)

edit: I have about 45 minutes to decide... I need to be on the road and on my way to work by 3:30 est.

best I could do without leaving my apartment and going back down into the snow ;) I'm the green car on the right... sorry about the lack of re-sizing.

Have one of 'em towed!
That's what I'd do. You'd be surprised how fast a car's owner shows up when you have it towed. If they're in your driveway, then definatly call the police and have it towed.

I would. Fvck 'em. If they're going to be d1cks about it, tow them. And you better call the towing company QUICK because it takes them awhile to get there.

they have 3 feet. I have 0 feet ;) I'm not really sure what inspired them to park 3 feet away from the neatest driveway and on top of my car instead.

Pull ahead and touch his bumper and slowly push the other car forward untill you have enough room to get out.

Yep. At a certain point, his brakes will give some, so then you will have 3'. Then, move your roommates car up on his bumper and have a nice day.

Your rooommate can't back up even a tiny bit? Why did your roommate or you park with no space between you?

Push the car ahead as gently as possible I guess unless you have time to get it towed.

I've managed to parallel park with 4" in front and behind me. So I'm sure you can get out, if you just keep cranking the wheel.

I agree. You might have to perform the dreaded 24-point maneuver, but you can pull out eventually.

But regardless, pull out anyways. Seriously, fvck those guys if they thought they could block you in.

That doesn't work. The car is in park. All you'll get is a few inches if you bump the car.

EDIT: LOL!

And if it's all snowy... the tires should slide if you push hard enough.
