You can use a backup camera if you think it will help.

You can even bring one of those self-parking cars if you want.

If that's what it takes for you kids to feel like you have a chance.

Newb. Are you sure you're in the right class?

If you NEED power steering to parallel park it, you're just not backing in fast enough.

I will be one of the youngsters in my class.

If anyone's wondering, the classes are:
M1 - GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN (age 50-70)
M2 - OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER (age 29-49)
M3 - DON'T TRUST ANYONE OVER 30 (age 20-27)

Can you smell that?

Smells like... a bunch of young people about to get their butts kicked.

That's right, the Gymkhana is turning into The Battle of the Ages! We've got 3 tidy age groups. We're throwing classing to the wind. This time, it's all about the driver. Can youthful sharp eyes and reflexes make up for 35+ years of driving experience? We'll find out! Scoring will be TEAM based. Incentive to help your fellow team-members get it right!

I've been parallel parking since 1983.

Time to break out old body-rolling. My Mom and Dad told me to respect my elders so I shouldn't say anything, but their not on this forum

Hope you old guys bring some Preparation H for the butt hurt!

Nope - just a little Ben-Gay to ease the muscles after whupping you kiddies. Remember when your parents told you, "this will hurt me more than it'll hurt you"? Not this time....

At least it was the same century/millennia.

Parallel parking was required to get a DL in the state of Florida until sometime in the 90's.

I got no ride.

One of you Damned Lawn-ers offer me a co-drive so I can help whup-up on some whipper-snappers...

I was going to post a poll to see how many practiced parallel parking today. Then also ask how many know what that is? My kids did the much harder "Y" (took me 4 tries to master in my own driveway) in and out clean and they all failed it on test day hitting cones except the one eldest who I made cry before doing. She aced it. Advantage was they only had to do the part over that they failed on the second test. How cool is that. Like saving a video game you failed at and not having to start all over.
