VIDEO: Your car won't fit, lady
No smartass comments about women drivers, capisce? It could just as easily have been a man at the wheel trying to squeeze 12 feet of car into 10 feet of parking space. While we do admire her determination, we question her depth perception, and her social graces. Perhaps it was a mild case of road rage that apparently leads her to take a swig of amaretto after several passes. We'll probably never know. She still seems to do a better job than the Lexus self-parking system as tested by the guys at Automobile. All we can say is, poor Panda. The YouTube video is after the jump.
Thanks for tip, Adrian!

That is the worst parallel parker I've ever seen in my life. Honestly, I dont think the person could have parked right if the space was big enough. The person was just coming in at all the wrong angles.

I don't think she could park in a big space either.

Hahaha...
I think my favorite part is when she shouts at the passing car. Or she might be shouting at the old dude walking by.
I think her car would have fit in the space with about 2 inches to spare. Look at the shot around 2:19. I'm not saying I could have done it, but I don't think it would be impossible for a skilled driver in that car.

Of course it'll fit, cause she just dented the bumper on the car behind hers 2 inches :)

She can't park worth two beans.
I think I might have been able to make it into that space however. I have parked in a space about 30cms longer then my car (a Puegot 306 at the time). When you're desperate for a parking spot in Paris you'll do anything. I DO have pictures somewhere of the car parked, if I get enough demand I'll dig 'em up.

I've actually seen something like this before in downtown Denver. This lady was actually pushing two SUVs out of the way with her Lexus SC in order to fit into the space. People on the sidewalk stopped and stared in unbelief.

Hey, no getting on the readers' cases before any comments, man.
Your swell writeres like ERIN MAYES make all these posts about women drivers and other such sexist drivel.

OK, I'll do it: dumb woman driver.
She wouldn't even have been able to parallel park had the space been big enough in the first place.

Wow what a cheap shot at the Lexus system that was used inappropriately in that video by those guys.

That was simply hilarious, lol, she could have made it in. Per a previous comment, she was actually in at one point showing there was space. How did she pass her drivers exam, thats the question.

I would be very unhapy if I owned any of the cars either side. Its idiots like this that mean I can keep my car in good condition - cant leave it anywhere!
How did she get her licence. Worst effort ever. As soon as she started getting angry she was never going to make it. she didn't have the technique down at all! Get people like this off the roads.

If she was to come at the right angle she can fit the car in there.
I wonder at which point she realised she was better off paying 10$ or 15$ for a more comfy parking lot !
