So my neighbor is a Driver’s Ed teacher and from my office window, I can see he’s trying to teach parallel parking... This kid has made three attempts with no success.
I feel this kids pain and am rooting for him.
Every time he misses, he pulls out and they head around the block to line up and try it again.
We are lined up for attempt number 4... Come on kid, you got this!!
Attempt 4 was a failure... He cut the wheel the wrong way. I do that all the time... With 25 years of driving under my belt, I can say the key is to not overthink it and have good insurance. Works for me.
Around the block we go again.
Drove right by, didn’t even try to land it. I’m thinking he was just doing recon, vaguely hoping his practice spot has been taken up by our other neighbors and one of their 3,762 cars. No such luck.
Ok, here we go... Lined up for attempt number 5. Kid means business. Every window in the car is down (it’s 30 degrees out, so that’s commitment), he is tweaking the mirrors, and he’s at perfect 10-and-2.
Feeling super good about this. He has got it.
