Everything's Backwards Over Here

A special shout-out to my lovely wife, who passed her American driver's test this morning with flying colors, even with all the people driving on the wrong side of the road.

She took the test in the car pictured, although this particular stellar parking job belongs to me. Look at how I squeezed right in there with mere inches to spare. Bow down to my parallel parking prowess, mortals. Or, as they might say in Britain, "Subjugate yourselves to the throne of my reverse park."

And from your prone position at my feet, throw a little congratulations to the missus.

Congratulations!
If I'd known you both drive, I never would have moved to your neighborhood, since most accidents happen within five miles of home. Although that covers most of the midtown area as well. so you could just as easily kill me coming out of work.
Never mind.

Nice job missus! I'm so proud of you. And nice reverse park, baldy.

WooHoo! That's my standard congratulatory noise, by the way.

But did she ride the brake? Only really good drivers do that.

You didn't park that car! No way! Somebody pulled in after you.


Right?

Congrats! May many horrible tiny photos be in your future!

Nope, Val. That was all me. Trust me: no one was as surprised as I was. Parallel parking is not my strongest skill. I just happened to be in this whole Reverse Parking Zone, like Reggie Miller against the Knicks in '94.

Wow, after reading Ali's comment I just got a flashback to a post Go-4th car ride home where Ali rode the brake and Dan repetitively yelled, "WOULD YOU PULL OVER AND LET MISSY DRIVE????" Ahhh..memoriews.
