Hate to admit it but...

I kissed a pillar and I didn't like it lol.

Today my awesome parking skills came to an end. I was in the fairmont and I always like to park as close to the pillar in underground carparks as possible. This way if the moron next to me can't park, there is still usually enough room to not have to squeeze the kids in, nor worry about their doors hitting my car. I usually park so close my side mirror is just mm away. I have always been one of those people who jokes how great my parking skills are because of how close I park to the pillar without incident, but alas I can no longer claim this.

Today I pulled into the bay as normal, watching as there was a 4WD in the centre bay, I knew the front end was too close and was going to scrape, so I backed out, straightened a little and proceeded to start going into the bay whilst turning towards the pillar. I looked and it all seemed good, then there was no noise but some resistance, as I had the wheels turned opposite lock to begin straightening out I figured one of the tyres was rubbing the curb, so I continued not being phased about a scuff mark on the tyre (not the rim). I got out and went to go around to let my kids out and I was shocked to see a nice big concrete coloured scrape on the corner of the front bumper. Gave it a quick spit polish whilst there and it came up alright, except there is a gouge, but barely noticeable. One of those it'll buff out jobs lol. So there goes my perfect record lol. Definitely no one else to blame but myself.

Anybody else got parking stories to share?
