Got applause this morning from the people in a starbucks this morning for my parking lot skills.


…and I thought having a FWD car was going to kill all my fun in the snow. It’s very white out today. It started snowing just before I left my house and there’s an inch or so of damp snow where I work.

I was pulling into the starbucks near my work. as you enter, there’s a double row of cars on the left with an island at the end. there are 2 spots closest to the island, then a bunch of handicapped parking. nobody was in the side of the double row closest to the starbucks, so I decided to take up residence in the end spot next to the island. I thought I’d have a little fun too since all the spots around were empty. too early and too snowy for most people I guess.

I turned in, lifted to get the weight forward, and flicked the handbrake to get the rear end around. the thing slid around perfectly, and I inched forward to park it. I thought to myself “damn, I hope I can drive with as much grace this sunday at the race”. So I bebop into the starbucks, and I get a round of applaus from the dozen or so people that were in there. I guess they had a good view and were impressed by my m4d sk3elz y0. I dunno.. it was cool.

        there’s no “net reply to nitpicking bastards” option. or I would. this way I can pick on both of you at once, instead of appearing as if I’m only picking on one. you both are pickles.

    So you spun it around, from front to back, and brought the back in laterally?

    Need a better image.
