unintended Precision Parking Best one i have ever seen LOL

Okay so i came home with my wife after shopping at a few stores and i parked my car in the garage like i normally do. Didnt use my parkings sensors or nothing, got out and went to get some stuff out of the trunk. Then i hear my wife say WOW did you see how close you parked?!
It was very hard for me to tell if i touched the wall or not but i noticed that i didnt. I left enough gap for a news paper to slip through. lol
When i parked i didnt think i was that close. LOl
SO anyways here are the pix.

ENJOY!

Damn that is close! That concrete ledge would have f'd up your bumper pretty bad. Glad you didn't hit it.

lol you should work for a drill team :d speaking of which, this reminds me of what happened to me the other day, i was in a hurry & asked a relative to throw my sneakers down, so i parked like 10 feet away from where things usually land when they are thrown from home....anyways i tell my relative " try to miss my car " my relative laughed & started making fun of me .... than few seconds later i was petrified i see my sneakers falling down & they are heading exactly for my car i was like uhhhhhhhhhhh almost chocked on my own saliva, you know im not kidding you, the distance of how close you parked is how close the shoes got to my car, but heart attack averted & relative still alive lol

Surely all that would've happened (at such a low speed) is that the plate would've rested on the wall...

Perhaps it even did before it settled back in park
