Hahahaha!!! sometimes I had to do that too! In my neighbourhood, everyone parks their cars on the street and during street cleaning days when you can only park on one side of the street only for half a day - you get really adept at squeezing into whatever space is available.

Thanks for the video - made me laugh! You inspired me to make a video of me adroitly fitting into barely existent spaces in the wintertime when all the snow greatly reduces space for parking. It's literally an art form in my city and we take great pride in it!

There should be spaces reserved only for vehicles with turbocharged engine, then this parking issue would be solved .

I think the day I got my driver's license, almost 40 years ago, was the last time I parallel parked.

The only problem is, sometimes people have no patience being held up by your parallel parking.

Battery? Misunderstand I talk about malfunction accelerate pedal position (APP) sensors. Just kidding but never know if the APP sensor can be happen.

Most sensitive gas pedal like you depress the gas pedal very tiny effort about 1/16 inch or less then the car will rocket fast, what car ever I 've experienced with the tight tolerance gas pedal, is Jeep Cherokee with automatic tranny and 4.0L 6 inline engine.

PARALLEL PARKING TRICK HONDA CIVIC - YouTube
Nice!

Seeing this thread reminds me of a few...

How To Park a Car (Like a Boss) - YouTube (from Who Am I starring Jackie Chan)

(from Shaolin Soccer or Kung Fu Soccer starring Stephen Chow)

A man breaks the world record for tightest parallel parking with 33 cm free space between cars.

Another man breaks the world record of 33 cm by doing this with 27 cm.

My 71 year old dad can parrell park better than you do. Not joking. When I visited my parents in California on October, he did this without touching other cars and it was pretty tight spot. I can't do it at all, lol.

Once you parked, How do you get out??

Other way to park is to use hydralic car jack by backing up into parallel park and then get out of car and pull out jack and tuck it under front of car and pump it up and push the jack forward to move front of car to park.

Betcha it's a slowest way to do it and if parking is so tight, you can easily use it to alternate pull front and back few time till you get car out. :lol

Same, when I did went through driving lessons (about 15 years ago)... after I got a restricted license and full license.

But, recently this year... I did parallel parked for the first time for years and my god, it was perfect parking, so now I'm doing more parallel parking.
