What better way to demonstrate a [[Badass Driver]]'s skill than by '''Improbable Parking Skills''', especially with [[Parallel Parking]].
 
Sometimes Improbable Parking Skills are demonstrated by parking a vehicle efficiently in adverse conditions. In other cases, though, the driver chooses a difficult parking method to save time, or simply to show off.
Line 26:
** That was less a case of being skilled enough to land in the middle of the area (considering the shuttles were virtually VTOL craft to begin with) as it was she was the only one insane enough to actually do it in the middle of a [[Zerg Rush|millions-strong wave of incoming Arachnids]].
* In the first ''[[National Lampoon's Vacation]]'' movie, Clark falls asleep at the wheel, the car wanders onto an exit ramp, careens toward a hotel, and Clark wakes up in time to scream and stomp the brakes. The car stops in a parking spot, and the luggage all tumbles off the top of the car to boot.

* The [[Mook|Pigmask]] who takes you directly to [[Peace and Love Incorporated|Thunder Tower]] in ''[[Mother 3]]'' pilots the Pork Bean in a rather hap-hazard looking manner, before sliding perfectly in front of the entrance, thereby locking you in with no choice but to continue on to the end of the chapter.
{{quote| '''Pigmask:''' That was some pretty sweet piloting, if I do say so myself.}}
