There is a commercial that features a Hyundai Tucson that pulled up to a bar/restaurant and the parking space is too tight. The occupants get out of the car and it has a feature that allows the car to park itself in that very tight spot. So, you do that and the people that are parked already get fucked and can't get into their cars because you parked so close to them. That commercial really aggravates me!

Absolutely. Hyundai should not be encouraging that kind of behavior.

Well if you live in Chicago that type of parking is not an issue. Tow the bastards. There are other methods as well but no need to discuss.

Typical me me me type of attitude. It's a mental epidemic. Now we know why phone numbers are pasted inside the windows of cars in korea. Call the owner to tell him to move his friggin car.

I haven't seen the one featuring the Tucson, but saw the Super Bowl commercial with the Sonata and it's "Remote Parking Assist"

The point was it allowed you to park into spaces where the other cars were crowding (over the line) your space...in essence taking up two spaces

As long as you're parked within the lines of your space, you haven't done anything wrong. I think when folks park over the line, they deserve to be inconvenienced when they return. Otherwise, you'd be rewarding folks who take up two spaces when parking

Actually you'd only be blocking one driver from getting in, the car on the other side of you would have the driver's door away from your car

Being sneaky, they get it so the Hyundai can park closer than anybody else's car.

That way more people will need a new car when the Hyundai catches fire.

Agreed. I remember the day that I got to the local Post Office and the parking lot was really full. The only slot that was available was a partial one at the end, curb and grass on the left side and a two-space Corvette on the right. With my driver side wheels next to the curb, there was maybe five or six inches clearance on my right, definitely not enough for the Corvette driver door to open.

I went into the Post Office, stood on line for twenty minutes or so, mailed my package, and went back out to the parking lot, where there were a couple of very angry dudes at the Corvette. I smiled, waved, called a cheery "Hi, how's it going?" and got into my car and started backing out. Angry dudes started banging on my trunk, maybe worried that I was going to scratch their precious plastic car; I kept backing out, figuring correctly that they would get out of the way. They jumped into the Corvette and started following me. No way I was going to show them my house, so I drove to the local city HQ building and they followed me into the parking lot, but changed their minds and kept going when they saw that I had pulled into a "Reserved for Police" slot (I am not a cop, but I thought it was a good idea at the time). Never saw the dudes again, but I bet they'll think twice before taking two slots again in a crowded parking lot.

To the OP,

I’m glad you posted this. I saw this commercial, not very long ago and thought the same thing, now you’re totally screwed the people parked on either side of you. What a dick move.

SNL gets it right once in awhile…

Give it a year. Wait and see how many door nicks the smaht pahk car has along the sides. Oh, and maybe a boot outline, too.

Reminds me of this:

Your new fancy POS CUV you park like that and get door dings the first night? Marketing, stupidity, Idiocracy.
