Someone once told me he parks his car with "feeling", reverse until I "feel" the back car, pull forward until I "feel" the front car...
It's also called build in parking sensors, when you feel a bump in the front you know you're close to the front car. Same goes for the back.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

My talent? Guess. lol

Me too. My trick is:
1. Pull up next to spot. Get out of car, guesstimate whether it is physically large enough to hold your car.
2. Back in until hit back car.
3. Pull forward until hit front car.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until either car is parked, or car is wedged in manner that it is clear it cannot fit.

Like this ;)?

Bumper parking is a must in brooklyn. If its still to tight you can push a little. Once had to do this on labour day in CH.

I draw and write poetry
i can taste most cooked dishes or salad dressings and tell you all the ingredients
i can go through all decks of rushhour (the maneuvering game with the car) in about a half hour, i just sense how it should be done.

We need proof!  8) Although I've never heard of drawing poetry.  :)

I can speed through double parked cars, with mere inches on both sides, another must have skill for Brooklyn drivers.

I'm sure have many talented people on here (even outside of the CC/airline/rental categories) and being an online forum we'd have no way of finding that out. So feel free to share I'd love to know if what people have a talent in. (Can also be a secret talent we won't tell anyone)


I never played anyone that was better at Foosball. Pretty sad talent to have, but it is what it is.

(If anyone here has never been beat I'd love to play you)


Really? we should have a game sometime,I would love to play with or against you

You also beat camelcamelcamel.com in finding the most deals on Amazon! :)

Camel is not a deal finder, it's a price check site that is very unreliable

Do/did you learn in BMG by any chance?
Playing Rush-hour  is great practice for parking in BMG (or is parking in BMG great practice for Rush-hour?)

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I once said that to my chavrusa. He said back "parking in BMG isn't like playing Rush Hour, it's like playing bumper cars". :)
