Lol wow... you can see how bald his front tires are from turning so much while not moving.

God, the stupid video takes 10 years detailing how little room he has, which we can plainly see, and then speeds up the actual parking footage so much it makes me dizzy.

I think a red light would come on if I shifted back and forth that many times. I believe it has once when I was trying to get unstuck from snow.

not to brag, but I've done better with escalades and suburbabs when I sold parking spots in my yard during gator season.

That's when I lived in a house with yard area near the stadium.







Buuuut, to give the dude credit... I guess it's worth spending 180+ US bucks fixing your power steering than it is to park properly.

Does anyone have the video of the sportscar doing the 180 into the parallel parking space, with the crowd watching? That's what I thought of when I first saw the thread title :p

I saw it on TV long ago, but I have no idea where or when. Looong time ago.

Basically this guy would go like 30-40 mph in a car, then kinda spin into a parallel parking space. He was so precise that he could consistently park between two cars literally 3-4 inches in front AND behind his car.

He probably has one of those sensors that tell him how close he is to the wall

I was guessing he was actually hitting the wall and using the wall to pivot the car into the space. The bald tires would help with that. Things we could do with real bumpers and no airbags.
