How Not to Parallel Park Your Mercedes

In a recent study conducted by an unnamed driver, it's been discovered that water, when placed on a driving surface at temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, actually decreases the amount of traction a vehicle is able to maintain when traveling on said surface.

While the findings from the study are still awaiting approval by an independent third party, these photos clearly appear to indicate the driver's remarkable deduction is indeed accurate.

Wow, yes, I've never known that ice actually makes your car less grippy!

It must be Captain Obvious's day off...

Au contraire

I suspect that the Bush Cheney Whitehouse will be most upset that there is talk of weather impacts on the web.

Surely enough scientists have been bribed and intimidated into denying the existence of any and all weather effects. How did this story slip through? Is there going to be an investigation?

Yeah, that's one way not to parallel park your Mercedes. They should've gotten an LS 460 and had it park for them, lol!

When/if BMW does this, I'll make fun of them.

What if Audi does? I'll make fun of them. Wanna know why? Because their system would malfunction and turn your brand new Audi into a car like this picture shows...wrecked. At least Lexus can do it right.

I think the speed involved was a bit higher than the typical parallel parking one. I think something else happened.
