I managed to fit my car into this spot upon my return from the beach. Both cars were there when I parked. Craziness!

Yeah I'm the man

you trust other drivers way too much

8/14/2006 9:57:17 PM

about 2 minutes, lol.

Well, actually i looked out my window a few minutes ago and the car behind me left. He clearly didn't hit me b/c I would have heard my alarm.

Plus its not really about trusting others. Alternate side parking is in effect on my street 4 of 5 weekdays and this was probably the only parking spot I could use within a ten block radius.

8/14/2006 10:03:50 PM

8/14/2006 10:04:17 PM

i think thats still a risk im not willing to take, you would see me walkin those 10 blocks

8/14/2006 10:04:18 PM

trust me you'd change your tune if you lived up here.

One time I came back to find my truck surrounded by cars a little closer than the ones in that pic.

4-Lo ftw!

8/14/2006 10:13:40 PM

u got mad skillz... I have a bad sense of distance, so I'm not a good parallel parker.

8/15/2006 2:42:23 PM

^^so true.

8/15/2006 2:51:38 PM

you could of just stopped...

gotten out...

and pushed it until it slide in like that.

8/15/2006 11:57:53 PM

I definitely would've removed some bumpers before that was done.

Nice job. I actually have never tried to parallel park. I just look for the proper spots, or park where there's enough room that I don't have to back in to park proper.

8/16/2006 12:02:57 AM

you didnt park that, you had those guys from the Mentos commercial come out and carry your car into that spot

8/16/2006 12:21:07 AM

it's true! i saw it!

I also saw a car try to park today and back into another one where the lady was still in her car in the West Village. I thought of you PattyCakes!

8/16/2006 1:06:11 AM

one of my favorite past times is watching people try to parallel park on horne st. i've seen one lady attempt for a good 15mins to get into a spot. a good size spot too.

8/16/2006 1:48:47 AM

I... don't believe you. If at least one of the cars was left w/out the parking brake (and not automatic), then maybe, but otherwise, no. Basically, not without significant of either/both cars.

I have done that on a hill with a bike at 60 mph

8/16/2006 2:46:24 AM

^^^

haha, one time I rode with Anup over to the house, and he tried to parallel park on horne, and failed miserably, and there was easily room for two cars.

I had to get out and park it for him.

8/16/2006 11:28:58 AM

good job man... i wouldnt have attempted that and i have been there many times before!

but i agree i would easily stuff that fucker in that spot if it meant not walking 10 blocks

8/16/2006 11:58:01 AM

^^^^thats fine if you don't believe me, it doesn't hurt. But its the truth. To be honest however, I did bump the Maxima behind me 2-3 times. However, neither time did that car move, plus its not like I did any damage manuvering around at 1 mph

8/16/2006 1:05:21 PM

Bumping cars is pretty standard practice in places where you have to parallel park often. Not everybody taps others at 1mph either, I've seen some girl in a late model Accord ram several cars in Manhattan once, while "parking"...

someone parked behind me on glenwood super close one time and I didnt have much room in front, so I just rode up his bumper with my bumper and left his car a nice suprise.
