Chuff sent me this video titled Parallel-Parking.mpeg (right click and choose "save as..." to download the 1.17mb mpeg file). This really reminded me of a driving incident with friends in a crowded mall parking lot on a sunny Saturday afternoon many moons ago. I yanked the emergency brake and slid into a spot much the same way in my little 1982 Dodge Colt (a.k.a. the Piece of Shit) that had no rear shocks. The car also had a wonky carburetor that used to take off suddenly after 50km per hour making it feel like the shit-mobile was supercharged. My gas tank even fell off one time. I'm amazed that I'm still alive considering the way my friends and I used to drive and the cars we drove in.
