  One thing I love to do with my manual transmission car (common in my country), purely to impress my passengers, is to attempt perfect backward parking: swiftly, in one go, preferably into a small spot. Our streets are small, usually not designed for cars in the first place, or at least not so many of them. So this type of parking really is not an easy thing to do for many people. It takes effort, skill, and some luck, depending on the car of course.

  All I want to say is that I'm not looking forward to meeting that one guy who takes notice and keeps looking just to see how I do my best, tongue hanging out, checking the mirrors, making sure I steer and drive in exactly the right way, and then when I get out tells me I should take a look at this, after which he tells his car to park which it then does better than I ever could. I wouldn't blame him though. Who wouldn't want to be Michael Knight?!
