Video: A World Guinness Parallel Parking Attempt In The Tightest Of Spots


Yep. We found it pretty impressive too, considering the driver, Ronny Wechselberger, fit his car in a space just 10.24 inches longer than the vehicle. The attempt actually happened in April, but Guinness just made the video available.

Also, Wechselberger broke the Guinness World Record record with that attempt only have it broken, last week, by Zhang Hua, who squeezed his car into a space only 9.45 inches longer than the vehicle.

Maybe he'll throw some more sand down and slide back out.

Notice the ground is covered with sand to help him slide in.

If I were allowed to parallel park like that, I would weld up some armor for my car and go to town
