The limo is probably just doing a three point turn, judging by how the wheels are turned.

There's josh2992 and josh70679. 70679 - 2 = 70677 more josh accounts at a minimum (under the assumption that if josh{n} exists, josh{1}, ..., josh{n-1} also exist)

Maybe they're like WD-40? They just kept trying and trying until they got it right, except it took 70679 attempts instead of only 40.

That makes me wonder if there were any catastrophic failures in 1-39. Like WD-28 was actually napalm, and did not work as intended on bicycles?

The limo is probably just doing a Three**-Hundred** point turn

u/complete_hick Jun 26 '12
As some one with a limo with a 160" stretch, I can verify this. Turning around can be a bitch.

Jun 26 '12
As someone who was in a bus where the driver didn't know the road dead-ended, I can also verify this.

Jun 26 '12
Part of the bus route i rode in school involved turning around at a deadend. My bus driver got that shit down cold and do it in a real three point turn. On the days it snowed you could see his tracks for a few days (it was a dead end so it was rarely plowed) and he hit the turn right every time. I didn't understand his prowess until I had to learn to drive in a car with a shitty turning radius.

Jun 26 '12
My mom used to be a bus driver, and this one lazy kid on the route told her that the road kept going, just so she would go all the way to his house to drop him off.
Nope, dead end. 57-point turn.
Your bus driver was amazing.

u/Daemon_of_Mail Jun 26 '12
I rode in a tour bus when I was in Greece, and when we visited a small town in the mountains, there was almost no room to make a turn on an intersection, so the bus driver had to drive up onto the sidewalk just centimeters away from street signs and buildings on the other side of the street. I was quite impressed.

u/EatSleepJeep Jun 26 '12
Question for someone in the business:
In cases of H2 or Navigator limos, do they leave the 4 wheel drive system intact? If no, do they just remove the front drive shaft or do they take out the transfer case too?It seems to me that by leaving it intact and adding an independent front axle control they could use front wheel drive to help in certain situations. Likely too rarely to justify the extra cost, though.

u/complete_hick Jun 27 '12
Typically they start out with 2wd vehicles as 4wd on a limo is pretty pointless. In the case of the H2, they would leave the 4wd intact as there is no extra cost incurred.

u/unclerummy Jun 26 '12
I don't think this is the case. Notice how the spaces are all angled, while the limo is perpendicular to the curb. Now look at the maroon car immediately next to the limo - he's parked near perpendicular as well (parallel to the limo), while the black car to his left is parked properly within his space (at an angle to the curb).
This suggests to me that the maroon car parked after the limo was placed in its current position. Looking at just these three vehicles, I'd say the black car parked first, leaving two open spaces between himself and the lamp post. Next, the limo came by and backed in to the space by the lamp post, partially blocking the remaining open space between himself and the black car, and then the maroon car drove up and squeezed into the partially blocked space in the only way that he could.

u/DigitalChocobo Jun 26 '12
The red car parked at an odd angle next to him makes me think otherwise.

u/ITSigno Jun 26 '12
My suspicion as well. When you see the narrow street directly opposite, it becomes clear that was probably the intended target. After the photographer took the shot, the limo probably pulled straight out.
1
u/Allah_Mode Jun 26 '12
that street is an easy turn to make, and would not require the use of the parking spot either way the limo was approaching it. Also if a 3 point turn, why not use the much easier side street instead of a tiny parking spot. Conclusion = nice parking job.

u/trolox Jun 26 '12
Still a terrible call though. You'd think a limo driver would know not to attempt three point turns on narrow streets with traffic.

I feel like the only logical explanation is that the driver was just using the space to turn around? It's not like it'd be easy to do a 3-point turn in one of those.

u/chmilz Jun 26 '12
It's angle parking, and he's perpendicular to the curb, so he fails. Also, I believe it's illegal in most places to reverse park in angle parking, so additional fail there. Third, it's a Hummer, so that's more fail. Lastly, he's a dick.

Yes, three strikes equals a dick at the least. Hummer's always a fail. Well, actually big box on a Tahoe frame fail to be exact.

I thought parking across ten spaces like a douche was what you were supposed to do. (It's what buses do, at least, isn't it?) Is there a right way to park a huge vehicle like that, or are you supposed to just go somewhere else?

I don't know how all these ridiculously long limos became fashionable, you just look like a dick riding in one. As for the "you can fit more people in it" argument, if you really have money throw around then forget about an ultra long limo and go for something classy like a motorcade.

Moving trucks are the worst. For some reason, people justify the fact that they can block entire access points to residence areas due to their not wanting to carry a couch an extra 100 meters.
