So, i was driving in inner city Philadelphia the other day, when i found the place i needed to get to, i discovered the parking was slim, very slim. There was one very small spot nearby, other than that the next closest was probably quarter mile away, so i decided to make that tiny spot mine. When i got up next to the spot i realized why it was the only empty spot anywhere close, it was very tight. After judging that my car could just barely fit, i began my approach. With expert precision i worked my way into the spot. It took only the initial pull in, plus going back and forth two times until my car was in the spot perfectly. Six inches from the curb, one foot to spare in the back, and two in the front. It was a thing of beauty. And i wasn't the only one to notice, after getting out of my car a young man who had been sitting on his porch said "That was pretty smooth". And i couldn't help but to agree.
Prior to leaving after my business there was done i considered taking a photo to prove my awesomeness. But there were quite a few people roaming around and i didn't want to look like a fool. So i remembered exactly what it looked like and drew you a picture.
And that's the truth.

I once tried to parellel park and also got some feedback from a bystander. Except instead of giving me kudos he tried to give me some pointers. I can't parellel park. I blame growing up in Utah, and the giant parking lots everywhere you go. Sure, it seems nice enough until you leave happy valley completely unprepared to park your car anywhere else in the world. So well done on somehow making it out with parellel parking skills. I'm impressed. And jealous. P.S. I really like the picture.
