Mini Parking 303: CapCity Could Teach This!

I've never seen her drive, but I hear that my sis CapCity can move her little red Mini like a champ! I wonder if she can parallel park THIS well:

No surprise to hear of a Mini driving school since the car is affiliated with BMW. BMW and Porsche have two of the best driving schools on the planet, but you'll pay an arm and leg for tuition. Of course, you could always buy one of their $100K or higher vehicles to get the class for free...

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

The hard drift maneuver IS rough on your rubber, but any ride with a decent e-brake can do it. Heck, you can teach yourself how to do it by watching "THE ITALIAN JOB" and "THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS" and copying SOME of the moves in an open parking lot. Do it after a nice rain if you can't wet the course you choose to drive; you'll spare your tires much hurt.

Don't ask how I know... :-)
