The previous world record for reverse parallel parking has been shattered. Before this week, the record stood at a combined 35 centimeters between the car and the vehicles front and behind, a yawning chasm large enough to sail the entire Nimitz-class aircraft carrier fleet, ten cruise ships, and, of course, YO MOMMA through. But now, it stands at the positively minuscule 34 centimeters, a whole one centimeter shorter.
But you know what? This can be even more impressive.

What Im saying is, I wanna see this in a Chevy Suburban
There are several clues that give it away that this is not in my fair city.
First of all, he actually cares about how he parks. Second, he is neatly between the car in front and the car behind. Third, he is equally spaced between the car in front and the car behind. Fourth, he is parallel to the curb, not at a 15 degree angle. Fifth, he is next to curb, not three feet out. Sixth, he is parallel to car in front and the car behind.
For these reasons, I will never see this happen where I live.
