Did you just parallel park that? Wow I WOULD NEVER park that close to anybody...ever. I bring my jogging suit just in case I can't find a good spot close by

Stressed out being late for a meeting, not going to make a habit of it Had to make sure the car in front and back had plenty of space in their other directions though

Tight squeeze for sure! I, too, enjoy the luxury of having a rear view to help approximate how far (or close) I was to the car behind me. But I rarely parallel park anymore, not because I can't, but rather because I hate whoever is behind or in front of me. A little tap could be costly

I don't understand how your car fit in that spot at all. Trying to parallel park into that small of an area pretty much required a perfect park.

Wow nice parking. I wouldn't want to park so close to cars either.

I dont know how you fit in a spot like that, especially in a hurry so big props to you! Find any scratches on your bumpers when you got back to your car?

I was... Was very happy to find it wo scratches afterwards...

Haha, expected that comment earlier ;-) No staging though

btw, is that after market tail light or those new tail light from the Lexus H model?
also, where you get that CF spoiler? :P
Tail light is smoke coloured after market. Front lights has smoke film. Car is completely wrapped, in Azure Blue (Orafol) and CF wrap on spoiler, side mirrors and roof (also Orafol).

Find any scratches on your bumpers when you got back to your car?
Was happy to find it wo damage for sure...

And 25 maneuvers later....
Is there anything u donīt know about the F Joe? I think your 25 maneuvers guess is about as close as it gets!
