Guinness World Record for parking captured

Some Guinness World Records are simple. Some, like parallel parking, require skills so specialized that they're nearly useless on the road—but look incredible on film.

Ronnie Wechselberger of Germany squeezed a Volkswagen Polo into a space a mere 26 centimeters (10.24 inches) longer than the car itself.



The world record was captured in April, and word is that a Chinese man broke the record recently—we're still looking for the video.

It'd be great to have such skill behind the wheel, but we can't help but wonder how many grocery store parking lots he terrorized in order to perfect his technique!
