    Parking!

    I know I've seen quite a few cool parking spots the VX helped people get into (mainly on snow) lets see some of them!

    the size of the VX helped me with this one.. I managed to parallel park the VX in this spot without touching either of the other cars either! (guy behind me is the last one on the street... so shouldnt have to worry about getting hit... I hope!

    That is some damn fine maneuvering! It's almost impossible to believe.

    Impressive especially considering the visibility. Did you have a spotter?

    No way. If you did this you should teach drivers ed in your spare time.

    i assure you its legit... ive had lots of practice.. high school only had parallel parking usually... there is only parallel parking in front of my house... parallel parking at college now... and lots and lots of U turns in tight spaces let me know exactly where the corners of the VX are.. id bet most of the really experienced offroaders could pull it off.. just a matter of knowing exactly where the VX stops

    How many point maneuver was it anyway? I know you'll say you did it in 3 points but I'm guessing it was actually 18

    I've almost convinced myself to take the dive on a back-up camera but don't know how it will work out with that monstrosity of a spare on the back

    Can't imagine me in the city with this VX. I've never taken it to a parking lot....get that close to my car, somebody is gettin' lumped up. That picture disturbs me

    Did you leave before or after the other cars? How much space was there in front of the front car and how much space was there behind the rear car for them to maneuver? The pic makes me very nervous!!! I wouldn't have do it myself...too much chance of getting a mark on my bumpers.

    its still there.... there car behind me is at the end of the street.. so thats why i got right up to it, the car in front of me had a couple feet in front.. it looked really well taken care of... and appeared to be there for awhile (had a club on the wheel, nothing visible from outside the car and no faceplate on the HU) so im not too worried.. ill be headed home in an hour or so... will post what i come back to!
