To be honest, street parking in Hong Kong also takes a high degree of difficulty. Streets are narrow and some roads (like those in Tai Kok Tsui) only have one lane. Street parking is peer pressure.

I would rather pay parking at uber expensive HK$100 per hour parking at IFC or Elements/Union Square..........instead of parking in the street in Hong Kong.

Just saying

He had to have seen the guy taking the video. And all the people standing around looking after the alarm went off...yet he was still able to just casually drive away? -_- At least they got this license plate now.

I can't quite make out all the markings on the ground, but was the Ferrari legally parked behind the VW? Looks like the VW was in a marked parking stall and the Ferarri parked behind behind in a no parking zone? Is that what all that yellow x lines are? Anyway, if that is the case the Ferarri owner gets no sympathy from me. I hate when people illegally park just because they think they are better than the rest.

Lil4X It's called "parking by ear".
No its called parking by "senses"
<VENOM> That is expected in a city with parallel parking, infact those bumps seemed tame, its why you set the e-brake

I was in NYC in manhattan and a brand new Land Rover and RX350 both with temporary tags were parked on the street with a civic parked inbetween, civic leaves and this giant buick pulls up, this old guy with his old *** buick with a sagging rear could not fit but he rocked the **** out of the 2 SUV, horrible to see but it happens everyday.
Very normal here in NYC, this happens daily
