I cant parallel park. Didn't need to know it and the car I learned to drive in didn't have power steering so I never bothed to learn. It takes me about 10 tries to get into the spot. Pretty sad....

DeToxRox · 06-20-2004, 09:08 PM

It's sad how frustrating that got.

JeeberD · 06-20-2004, 09:10 PM

Same here. Didn't need to do it to get a license in Colorado, so I never really learned how to do it.

Oh well, life goes on. Oh, and I suck at that game.

amdaily · 06-20-2004, 09:25 PM

All those hours of Grand Theft Auto back in the day have finally produced a tangle real life result: I parallel parked on an internet flash game in 3.10 seconds with a score of 161.04

MrBug708 · 06-20-2004, 09:27 PM

-83.57!

McSweeny · 06-20-2004, 09:28 PM

hot damn... i keep getting negative scores

i didn't have to do it to get my license here in connecticut, but living in Boston for a year and a half or so taught me how to do it with the best of them. Nothing beats trial by fire or something

korme · 06-20-2004, 10:10 PM

score : -311.67

timmynausea · 06-20-2004, 10:28 PM

I can't do this at all. I tried a lot. Can't get it. My girlfriend got in 1 minute and 4 seconds a 7.05 score.

cthomer5000 · 06-20-2004, 10:32 PM

I think it's a little annoying that you approach it from a perpendicular angle.

Critch · 06-20-2004, 10:47 PM

8 min 05 seconds and a score of -954.61.

I think not being able to drive, and having no idea how to actually parallel park, may have held me back on that one.

ACK! This is freaking impossible.

SackAttack · 06-21-2004, 01:13 AM

00:01:34:50, for a score of -22.71, but I think now that I know how the controls work, I could do it faster.

SackAttack · 06-21-2004, 01:14 AM

dola,

00:00:19:76, good for a score of 17.29. yay.

00:00:14:70 for a score of -5.97

RPI-Fan · 06-21-2004, 10:30 AM

Got it under 5 seconds with a score over 100 (zero "chocs"), but don't think I can really do it much faster.

nol · 06-21-2004, 10:47 AM

8.43 seconds and a score of 59.25

wbatl1 · 06-21-2004, 10:52 AM

How do you drive the car? I cant get it to move?

It took me about 18 seconds (I didn't write down the details) - I backed in and pulled forward. Are there really people that can't do this?

I suspect those that do well on spatial reasoning tests tend to be the ones that do best at parallel parking and games like this...
