Check out my parking skillz

Are you talented or what?

http://media.skoopy.com/misc/parking/

Cracks me out the chick stroking her front rim as if to say 'are you alright'.

reply: 'Damn lady you drove me over a freaking huge strip, how would you feel if I did the same to you?'

Blond in the 350 is halarious, I mean what the @#$%? You and your car somehow weren't mean go off road, specially in that outfit! Kall this is not you in a previous accident was it ?? Blonde, female, into sports cars.....lol!

The really concerning things is that both my previous (Integra) and current car are involved in these pics. Makes me feel saddened by the way some people treat their cars and even worse I have to share the road with these maniacs. Lucky they are in thh US and Europe though

looking at that pic reminded of something funny. My MX5 was so low that speed humps were a no-no, I used to avid them at all costs. Anyway one day in a darkened car par, i went over the mother of all speed humps. i got stuck. Had to get out of the car and get some people to help lift and push so I won't damage the under carriage too much.

We shouldn't laugh because I'm sure we've all had some parking mishaps.

I remember on our honeymoon we left this wonderful B&B in our rented car - I was backing out down a very sloped carpark and didn't see this huge old pot - thump! crack! It was one of a pair and they looked very old and loved. I blamed it on the clouds of marital passion blinding my vision and went in to own up (yep, I'm both dumb and honest).

The owner (who had looked after us during our stay like silkworms) gave me a huge run for my money. He stamped and swore and just about had the bride in tears. Then he gave me an evil grin and turned the other one around - yep - cracked. We shared a joke about the now matching pair and then I got outta there before he decided different.

As for the pics - seen most of them before (and a few others besides). Bet 'Mez loves that one with the red pug being, ahem, dominated. Who's my bitch???

Accidents do happen. I once reversed my company car with the low sunset beaming behind me and the glare from the ocean. You can't see through the rearview mirror and even turning your head back... all you see is kind of like a high beam headlight on your face. I dunno, when I think about it... I did see this massive telephone pole behind my car. Perhaps one of those moments... I hit that freaking pole right in the middle. We were supposed to have a barbeque... I couldn't open the boot. IT's soooooo embarrasing... hehehe.

Another one was when I first had my "P" plates. I was on top of a sloping parking spot. On eye level, you can't see what's behind the bottom of the slope. I was reversing and whammo... I hit a Merc. I dented the freaking Merc's chrome grill and had a dent in the middle of my rear bumper.

Ohhh... both times, fortunately they weren't my personal cars and I am an expert hitting things smack in the middle while reversing. Who wants me to reverse their cars? Any takers? I need to get the 3rd strike... luck comes in 3s doesn't it? hehehe.

Yep, anyone who parks on top of a 206 will get a cheque in the post from me.

I once backed into a Datsun 200B, put a $40 dent in it........the insurance company wrote it off

So that's what you were trying to do at Wakefield when I took the photo...

I also seem to recall an incident with a rock on Gorge Road that a half-dozen other 5's drove over without issue but resulted in a cloud of smoke billowing out of the back of AMG's tweaked toy :-)

yes,thank god for insurance .....it picked up the tab for the ripped out sump.

I was told the event was more spectacular than an F1 blowing a turbo ( when F1 was fun to watch).

thats the problem of having a car so low that it can't go over a coke can
