My van is covered in different coloured print scrapes. The roof ladder on the back door is even bent.
It’s just the way she goes
Ufff, besito
I am from Mexico and I’ve been living in Spain for almost a year now, I was also shocked when I saw this and that people don’t care o.0 … while parked or parking. They just don’t care. I am still shocked xD
Does it exclusively happen in Spain?
Spain is the home of creative parking. In my village I was drinking coffee in the square when a man parked half on a pedestrian crossing and half on a disabled bay. We were just laughing about it when, another car pulled up next to him and double parked.
As someone told me when I complained, “That’s why cars have bumpers.”
***MUACS***
Shh que así nacen los cochitos de batería
Una pena porque los dos se ven super bien cuidados y seguro que un roce como ese de nota un montón /s
Le está dando un besito
Well in Rome it’s the same. You won’t get out of your spot without kissing at least three times.
Reminds me of Bill Bryson writing about parking in Italy:
I was strolling along Via Sistina one morning when a Fiat Croma shot past and screeched to a smoky halt a hundred feet up the road. Without pause the driver lurched into reverse and came barreling backward down the street in the direction of a parking space that was precisely the length of his Fiat, less two and a half feet. Without slowing even fractionally, he veered the car into the space and crashed resoundingly in to a parked Renault.
Nothing happened for a minute. There was just the hiss of escaping steam. Then the driver leaped from his car, gazed in profound disbelief at the devastation before him–crumpled metal, splintered taillights, the exhaust pipe of his own car limply grazing the pavement–and regarded it with as much mystification as if it had dropped on him from the sky. Then he did what I suppose almost any Italian would do. He kicked the Renault in the side as hard as he could, denting the door, punishing its absent owner for having the gall to park it there, then leaped back in his Fiat and drove off as madly as he had arrived, and peace returned once again to the Via Sistina, apart from the occasional clank of a piece of metal dropping off the stricken Renault. No one but me batted an eye.
They park by sound. I used to have a nice 5 series BMW when I first moved to Spain. It was my pride and joy. Excellent condition and meticulously maintained for years. First few months in Spain & I gave up. Eventually got rid and bought a Citroen Picasso, with a tow bar. At least the back bumper doesn’t get smashed up, but every other panel on the car has dents and scratches from other drivers. It’s pointless getting upset anymore. The driving standards are ridiculously poor and it’s not changing anytime soon
It’s very common here in my little town in south of Spain. When doing parallel parking, your reverse until you bump go forward, then reverse until you bump again.. And that’s why the cars look like they do
