How did I miss some of this great thread??? :)

Dr. Steve, if you think parallel parking is hard, what do you think about
the great stunt driver Bobby Ore who could supposedly drive a slalom in
reverse with only his mirrors??

:)

Here's a few more skills that should be learned by the hardcore driving
crowd for ego purposes:

1) Box parking aka sliding a car 90/180 degrees into a parking space

2) J turns aka reverse 180 degree turns

3) Forward 180 turns

4) Skiing aka driving on 2 wheels

All valuable I think....item #2 can save a life if you pull up to a hostile
situation.
