Why thank you, asshole.

*Disclaimer* He wasn't wrong. Also, no rims were harmed in the parking of this vehicle.

Straighten those wheels, rookie.

He's probably heard about these "insults" thing and is trying it out for the first time.

I was in a rush and said (quite literally out loud) "Fuck it I'm leaving it here."

I park like this in my Mom's car. I'm used to having something with a good turning circle.

;-) I'm just razzing ya. When I was learning to drive, my older brother always gave me shit about that. It stuck with me.

The appropriate response? "Thanks, man! I've been working really hard on it! It's nice to hear some positive feedback!"

My response, "That's no way to talk to your father". Bonus points if the kid doesn't know who their real dad is...

Parked like a donk.

Honestly. I would have said the same thing.

Lol I did the same with my younger bro as well

if I did that with the GLi, my rims would have more scratches than a horribly itchy mosquito bite...

My wife does it a lot, and I always call her out. Right now we drive the same car, so it's really annoying when I'm backing out and think the wheel is straight.

This thing has a reasonable turning circle for its size. With is like saying the Queen Mary has a reasonable turning circle for its size.

That is basically what I said. The "asshole" part was not out loud.

His dad (probably) was driving the car he was in.

Dat flex.

11/20/2014 at 22:48

I think he said it because he saw me take this picture. I was originally just going to title this post "Dat flex" or something dumb like that, but he made it easier for me.

No rims were harmed, the tire hit and rolled over rather than climbing the side. I'm very careful not to curb rash them.

Mine is 37.4 stock. Your's is 40.2, so pretty close. AND according to Edmunds, my Mom's Vibe has a better one than both, which is bullshit. Though mine isn't stock, so that might account for the tighter turn in.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
11/20/2014 at 22:50

Yup mine's 40.2

Once I had to park like this for a roadside repair, trans line fix and lowered car/no jack.

I think Edmunds is off a bit. The worst steering car I've ever driven is only 36.?. This car literally took backing up once or twice to get in to a damn parking spot.

11/20/2014 at 22:58

Cars.com says 20.,8 feet. That's a huge ass difference. 20.8 feet sounds right. 40.2 would be a small freight train.

Thats probably more extreme than anything this Jeep has done.

I told my wife the same thing when I got home this evening and couldn't get into the driveway because of her "parking"

(She took the picture, sent it to me, and said I could post it. She put it on Facebook a couple hours ago)

That seems a bit low. 40.2 is about right for the average car. It's not going to turn around in a space only a few feet longer than it is.

see? Costco wasn't when they put my tires on. they ruined the edge of all 4 rims when they put my A/S 3's on

Looks like your wife did some damage.

I guess that's right. I was just picturing in my head, and since I suck with mental distances, 40 feet seemed enormous.

Strangely, no. Some minor scuffing on a control arm right at the pivot is all. I've seen worse from hitting a piece of road debris. Once she went off she just left it there and waited for me to get home and we got it back on the concrete w/ a set of oil change ramps. The extraction was pretty un-dramatic

Good to hear. How do you like the Volt?

it's a nice car. Mrs. Shoe Pilot LOVES it.
