Me Parking After a Year Of Not Driving



Later this month when I go back to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving I will have the opportunity to drive again - after a long time of living in Manhattan with no access to a car.

And the above video very much resembles my attempts to park each time I visit the local Walmart Supercenter. It's not pretty, but cheap underwear and sugar-free drink mix is worth the risk of some minor auto-body damage ...

  1. Hysterical... I love the fact that he backs off, and then leaves... totally something I would do! But I'm sure he didn't make it very far... if you watch closely, you see a stain forming on the pavemnet.... he busted out the bottom of his readiator! If he tried to drive off, he would have melted his engine in no time flat! What a dumbass!

  2. I saw this on the news the other day and couldn't believe my eyes! It certainly makes me wanna take public transit and stay away from folks like that!

  4. This is priceless!!! I've been without a car here in DC for the past couple of years and I think this is one reason why I'm enjoying my car-less state. Well, that and Zipcar. I've sent this to some of my friends - I picked those who have BIG - EGOs!!!

  5. According to the info on Youtube, they caught the woman and she is scheduled for trial on Dec. 1. I have no idea how you do this though-was she drunk or high or something.

  9. Oh my goodness! I've never seen anything like it. Good luck with your driving, and we'd better not see you on YouTube or the news! If we do, make it worthwhile!
