Time Waster: Parallel Parking
 

Just ran across this one, didn't see it posted here before.

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....

It's sad how frustrating that got.

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.

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 :).

-83.57!

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

score : -311.67

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.

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

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.

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.

dola,

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

00:00:13:96 for score : 35.8

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

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

8.43 seconds and a score of 59.25

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

The keyboard arrows :).

edit - Make sure to hit "play" first.

They dont work. And it's flashing "Replay"

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...

9.43 seconds, 53 points. 3 straight times. (exactly)
