How did you not give yourself a heart attack parking that close?

Must be some next level skill

DrewNewM2 · 05-23-2024, 09:42 PM

I always park across 2 stalls

Wow bro, these photos give most of us anxiety. Cool story though. So... um ya, so you're saying & telling us you park that close to that concrete column everyday... ? Sure man, I believe you. LOL

Someone please post the "boss from Office Space movie" animated GIF here saying "Um yeah... "

I've been parking here like this for a year now, and it's my daily. The picture has about 3mm of clearance but I usually do 5mm to 1cm of clearance each time. At first I was anxious myself, especially being a manual 6-speed but I have gotten used to it. I would never rely on a camera (even if we had 360) but the drivers rear view mirror shows the whole wide fender.

Maxton V2. Very cheap. Good fitment. No cringe over speed bumps or steep driveways

Not mine, but this guy has his own personal concrete bunker for his G87.

Quick trip to Home Depot for pipe tape.

That shopping cart makes me real nervous.

TallGibbs · 10-17-2024, 08:08 PM

Yeah I thought about moving it but it was not windy outside and I knew I would be in there less than 3 mi utes so I rolled the dice 😀

I completely endorse and partake in the end spot parking strategy and or as close as I can to column as possible.
However, take up two spots in where I am from and you 100% get vandalised

5mm hey. Well that changes everything then!
I would personally make it 5cm as getting this close so consistently is going to end in heart break.
Nothing ever goes wrong, until it does.
Please bro, 5cm!
