Can't really get into a much tighter space than that. I'm sure the transmission for that car must've gotten quite a workout from that parking job

Interesting music in the background

If both the front and the rear bumpers touch, then there is no way you could drive your car out before the car in front of you or behind you leave.

Nah, thats what you would think! Just push them a little bit, its not hard at all. The only thing after a few months your bumpers start looking

Bobby McFarin's daughter goes to my school.

He gave me a ride to our sports fields once. His hair is quite long.

oh yea, I can definitely do that. I live in Philly, we got to park in tight spots like that on the regular. Plus when I worked at Volvo we had very limited parking. You wouldnt believe the troubles Ive been through trying to get company cars out of the back parking lot. So close that you had to fold the mirrors in to get by another car. Craziness.
