parking fail

I've seen worse. Search parallel parking fail on youtube. People that treat cars like bumper cars.. no respect at all!
 
I admire that man (he who came to help).
He lasted almost 4 minutes of that failing. I bet I wouldn't have stanted even a minute.

An instant classic :P

LOL @ This.
I consider myself a really good driver. I used to drift my old lumina. and can maneuver a car very well. And ride a dual-sport motorcycle... HOWEVER... i can't parallel park to save my life. lol
 
ya i wouldn't say that women are the worst drivers, i'd say that some of the worst drivers happen to be women.
there is a difference. we cannot generalize that all women are terrible drivers just because they are women. obviously there are great women drivers and terrible male drivers, and being a woman doesn't make you anything other than a woman.
...its just, bad drivers sometimes happen to be women...which is where the stereotype comes from.
 
its stuff like this that makes my wife just shake her head and sigh...
she's a (one of the very few) good woman driver

*sigh*

I wish I could count my wife in that category! She can't park a car straight to save her life (a pet peeve of mine). She's curb-checked her CRV so many times, I've decided that when I get my new car next year, I'm not going to let her drive it. I don't need road rash on my nice rims!

My biggest grievance is when she gets behind someone in the center lane on the highway, and tailgates the individual while lanes are open to both the right and left... GO AROUND THE DUDE!

...I've already told her that I'm teaching the kids how to drive!

fail? Lumina's are FWD, meaning that you're not "drifting" it, as a drift is a controlled powerslide. you're simply using momentum and weight shifting to lighten the rear end and slide it out. Good luck keeping it out there; it's physically impossible on a FWD car.

I shudder to think of drifting as an motorsport. SCCA, NHRA, NASA...THOSE are motorsports! Ohh, and don't even think of dropping Nascar into motorsport... Go-fast turn-left. WOW, so impressive!

Back before I was married, I had a fairly decent car: Nissan 200SX SE-R. I threw lots of money into that car, making it one mean-handling monster. I used to toss it around at local SCCA Solo II events. The key phrase here is "before I was married". I drive a Lumina LS now. *ick*

What i could do in my lumina looked EXACTLY like drift racing... and i only used the term so people could imagine it (since drifting is so hawt right now) if you would seen me under the bridge going to my wife's house (back when we were dating) you might have been impressed :">
