Wednesday morning it was a terrible weather to drive a car, especially when you are not used to doing it in the US. It had been snowing during the previous night and the roads became slick.
When I parked my car – an El Camino, which I have borrowed from my cousin - at the parking place in front of Red Rocks Community College,
I turned the car around and back it into a parking space.
I succeeded too well. The El Camino was placed close to the car next to me - too close I think.
Then I drove the car forwards, and a little to the right.
When I wanted to stop the car to back it in again, it would not stop. It moved itself directly towards another parked car.
I had to think fast: "Put the car in neutral and slowly turn the wheel to get the car free of the other car", I thought.
I succeeded. I passed the parked car by a few centimeters from the front of the other car and found a parking bay far away from other cars.
I would not try again to park close to another car.
Bellow you see four pictures from the area around my apartment
