Fail 053 : Video from abroad special

It's been too long since I've posted any pictures.  I need my photo editing software back, as I've just built a new computer, so I'll try to get on that.  In the mean time, here is a video that I found from Jalopnik.

The Dacia Sandero, a long time running gag on Top Gear, is seen in a dash cam vid (most likely from Eastern Europe) is seen doing the biggest parking fail ever.  It's sad...the driver is sitting so close to the wheel, which should eliminate that issue with new cars, where limited visibility is available, no matter which seat you're in.

No matter, the video is here for all of you to enjoy.

How hard is it to park in a parking spot?  Some people find it to be so hard, they just have to park terribly far from a parking spot right at the entrance.

The warmer weather is a chance to enjoy the backyard and build your decks and porches.  This driver will build a terrible deck, can't even park their car straight.  Did you expect the cutting to be straight too?

It seems that with the weather finally leveling off and being a bit more mild, people still can't master parking their cars in a properly clean parking lot, free of snow and ice.  What gives?

This mall is pretty hard to drive through when it's packed.  This is especially true during lunch and dinner, so seeing that this is a Good Friday weekend, parking like this is most definitely appreciated.  Seriously, thanks.  Thanks for parking in such a way so that others can't park easily.

Fail 043 : Video Compilation special

In winter, as a rule, I understand that not being able to see the lines because of snow is understandable.  That's why, photos are never taken of cars that are out of line because of natural problems.  Which explains why there is a decline in photos taken during the winter.  To compensate for this, Jalopnik has done a compilation to help us remember the 10 worst parking jobs ever caught on video.  I think some of these will be quite to some of your liking.  Head on over to here and enjoy yourself.  I will reiterate by saying this is NOT my work.

As a side note though, pictures of people parking @ churches or private underground garages are also not put on this blog to preserve sanctity and security respectively.  I understand the church parking lot is usually full of limp-wristed individuals who know how to lecture today's youth in the wrongness of their ways.  However, they rarely ever recognize the wrongness of their way of parking (i.e. stopping their car in a place that clearly is not a parking spot).  However, it's best not to invade the sanctity of someone's home parish and posting pictures of botched parking jobs from there.  I apologize in advance if this offends anyone, but sanctity and security are rather important in today's world.
