Default My secrets to parking, never scrape your car again!

Are you tired of scraping your car against sidewalks and bump stops? Tired of hitting a wall with your front bumper? Of course you are! With my simple, easy to learn secret method to perfect parking, you can rid yourself of nasting scratches once and for all!

When you pull into your desired parking spot, look out to your drivers side mirror. When your mirror comes in line with a curb, bump stop, or other marking device, your car is in the perfect parked position. This will give you ample room from the front of your car to the marked area.



It's simple as 1 2 3.
1. Look at your mirror.
2. Line up mirror with the marked object.
3. Park.

This secret method will work any make and model vehicle, and will last a life time.

As long as you don't sit ghetto or granny style, you should be fine.

1)if you seriously hit walls and sidewalks often enough for this to be a problem, you need help.
2)there are too many variables here. This would change depending on seats height, seat position, and the parking lot. Not all parking lots are created equal. Some are a 45 degree angle, others are 90 degrees.

I like that youre trying to fix it though. And i personally love your drawings
