Only risk involved was not curbing my wheels. My neighborhood doesn't have many cars parked on the streets, and even less cars driving by at night.


If that counts,
New Challenge: Your IS with a BUNCH of dead leaves on the ground. A very autumn-style picture. The more leaves, the better!
Here's an example so you get the idea:

Nice try, but that isn't parallel parked

next challenge is your IS parallel parked in the wrong direction. Be careful.

I like your suggested challenge though.

^How is his car in that picture not parallel parked? Isn't the definition of parallel parking to be parallel to the curb?

Hmm, I always thought parallel park was between two cars on the curb.. If I'm wrong I stand corrected.

Well .. someone has to be at the end!

And its not like there will always be a car ahead or behind you... there could be open spaces or driveways or other things.

Hahah. MRMs sticking together

From wiki
Parallel parking is a method of parking a vehicle in line with other parked cars. Cars parked in parallel are in one line, parallel to the curb, with the front bumper of each car facing the back bumper of the adjacent one.
Reverse parallel parking sounds a little dangerous... you need to face the direction of traffic.

When I thought of the challenge I was thinking it would be in between two cars but you're right he is parked parallel.

Parallel parking. n. 1. The act or process of parking parallel to the curb; - contrasted with angle-parking.

While parallel parking does connotate parking in between two cars, the picture fits the definition and since the challenger wasn't more specific, that's good enough.

New Challenge: Your IS with a BUNCH of dead leaves on the ground. A very autumn-style picture. The more leaves, the better!
