Give that man a gold medal! [View all]

Wow, a little while ago I witnessed an amazing act of driving skill. There is construction going on up the road. As I was making my coffee, I looked out the window. There was a cement truck driver parallel parking it between two other trucks on the side of the road, it only took him one try. I couldn't even do that with a mid-size sedan, when learning to drive. I had to promise the man giving me my driver's test never to try and parallel park again in my life before he'd pass me.
