There are few things in this world more high pressured than having to parallel park in a tight spot with a crowd watching on.
Truly harrowing stuff.
I reckon the person behind the wheel of this car would manage just fine, given their ability to wangle their way out of a tight spot.
Not a great deal is known about the video clip below, although Nerdist reckons it was likely filmed in Hong Kong.
On Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube it’s gone viral in a big way over the past few days, with the latter of those now surpassing 25 million views.
‘Driving expert’ is a label well-earned in this instance:
The music is a tad over the top but it does bring to mind that infamous scene from Austin Powers:
Thanks to the Ever Given getting stuck in the Suez Canal we have possibly my favourite meme of 2021:

Anyway, we digress.
Like all good stories, there’s a little twist in this one, too:
Another video uploaded of the same stunt from a different angle shows that it’s not actually over a cliff. Beneath the car was another road, carefully concealed.
We’re not saying it still wasn’t dangerous. That would have still been a nasty drop. But not as bad as it looks upon the first watch.
Observe:
So the driver wouldn’t have plunged to almost certain death. Sorry, we have to deduct a point.
It’s good driving but it’s some way off rivalling the Guinness World Record for parallel parking.
