Forget about the fancy-schmansy automated parking option...

So how many crashes did this joker have in practicing his drift maneuver to get the car to SLIDE into the parking space?

Gee, next will have a ramp jump into a parking space, or being dropped by crane, or rolling the car into the space. Getting into the space can be accomplished by various means and styles. Parallel parking is one way. That's not what the skidding baffoon did.

Next we'll have reports of remotely controlling cars by a blindfolded person driving the car while taking shouted directions from another person running alongside.

Here's a video on the drift challenge:

Nothing to do with parallel parking. Note the setup beforehand. He knew from past experience where the car would drift to by speed, tire compound, torque, and other drifting factors. Then they moved the cars around the spot where it was already known where he would stop. Yeah, a real test ... NOT! It had to be setup before his drift maneuver. If it were a couple of cars on a real street then he'd smash all over the place: the curb, the cars, pedestrians, whatnot. It was staged.

Gee, why not have the car already parked and have the other cars nudge up to you for a zero-distance parking maneuver. It would be just as valid a "parallel" parking maneuver as this one.

There may finally be hope for you. It has recently been reported that doctors at the prestigious Uzsoki Hospital in Budapest, Hungary have accomplished a completely successful 'sense of humor' transplant which enabled a dour middle-aged male to recognize a joke for the first time in his life. You may want to book a flight to Hungary immediately and try to get on the wait list.
