What's the problem? So she CAREFULLY parked a $200,000 car, didn't hit ANYTHING, and was 2" from the curb?!? So she didn't make it on the first try, so what?!? If I had that car, I would be just as cautious. I say +1 to parking without an incident!
there's not one day where I ask myself, "how in the world did they get their license?"
some of my friends are like that. they pretty much never really learned or more important got any "exams" on parking when they did their road test. go figure

need that many people around to help and guide you in? even have to get opinions from other people on how and where to turn the wheel? seriously, you think this is normal for a good driver???
I'm not sure how wide Ferrari's are, but she was just inches from the curb and still almost over the line. Not necessarily Ferrari friendly parking spots.
Unless she hit the car behind her (which we didn't actually see), then that wasn't a horrible parking job, she at least had the patience to take directions, get out, take a look and fix her position. She actually exceeded my expectations of her.
It was not too bad a job, especially in those shoes. How do gals drive in heels like that.
So the other day my wife is wearing sandals and tells me I have to drive. I ask why and she said "cause I don't drive in flat shoes." No joke.
Anyway, the video is far from a "fail" IMO. I sure as hell wouldn't have the nerve to pack my Ferrari (if I had one) in such a tight spot. I'd be way too paranoid!

I can't drive my car in flip-flops. I'd rather drive barefoot than drive a 3 pedal car with flip flops. The problem is when you go to use the clutch you step on the clutch pedal a lot more than you would for brakes or throttle and on it's travel back up I've had my flip flop get caught underneath the clutch.

You're kidding right?
I wouldn't want anyone thinking it's ok to tap my car because they were "designed" to be.

I didn't say "good". I said without incident. The title of the post is "Noob Ferrari parking". Like I said, if I had that car, I'd be cautious too. Especially in such a tight space. Honestly, I wouldn't have even tried to park there because it looked too tight. I don't think Ferrari's were designed with parallel parking as a concern.
