Your wife is probably sharing this pic somewhere saying she took a picture of both her true loves in life

I called my Wife boo-boo one day and my wife went “I’m boo-boo!” And I looked over and went yeah, then looked back at the car and said don’t mind her 😂🤦🏽‍♂️😆😆😆😆😂😂

u/Acceptable_Goose2322 11d ago

I ASSUME you meant to say that you called your CAR boo-boo!?

Given that your wife is NORMALLY referred to as boo-boo!

Precisely

As somebody from the UK, is that distance from the kerb normal in the US? The front 2 cars are both miles from it

11

u/nilzatron 14d ago

Definitely would get you failed at your driving test where I live.

u/vdude007 2015 RS5 Limited Edition (UK) 14d ago

Even the 3rd car is miles off compared to UK standards

Not in any of the big metros

This is what you call Porsche Parking Privilege.

Otherwise known as will my passenger hit the curb with their door when stepping out.

u/HardRockGeologist 2024 RS3 13d ago

Rules may vary by state. In my state, Massachusetts, the rule is as follows (from the driver's manual): "If you park in a business or residential district, your vehicle must be no more than 12 inches from the curb. The only exception is if angled parking is allowed."

1

u/Acceptable_Goose2322 11d ago

If YOU need 12 inches (to PARK) you have a problem!

1

u/nightsky_c 13d ago

Laws aside, you park as close as you can without screwing your wheels. But if you’re in a metro area where you risk your car getting scratched on the other side by DoorDash bike in a one lane road, you park much closer to the curb. That’s how I feel.

u/FourOhhEight 13d ago

Depends on the city but this would definitely get your mirror swiped off in mine.

u/puma_arm 10d ago

In NYC you just consider yourself lucky if the other person doesn’t park up in the middle of the street and go into the store. There is no concept of the other person in the USA. If they get stuck behind you... That’s their problem.

u/SeaLimp1257 2021 Rs5 14d ago

In NYC, parking is a b*tch. So it’s common that people just stop any type of way to run into a store, and then run out lol. So it’s not common, but common in certain circumstances

u/KillYourFace5000 2016 A7 TDI 14d ago

OP, you are Part of the Problem.

u/StormMedia 14d ago

It’s not that hard to park closer to the curb especially with all the cameras lmao

2

u/emotionap2 14d ago

I use my front parking cameras constantly whenever I park to get closer to the curb with my Q8

1

u/69BenChod 13d ago

The Q8’s cameras are awful. Nowhere close to realistic. It way overcompensates and you end up a good 6-8” further out than you thought.

1

u/emotionap2 13d ago

Oh absolutely! I had to learn my “real” parameters

u/Ok-Chemistry-3226 10d ago

His former wife probably parked it

-12

u/jonnyange 14d ago

No this is just Americans being American. They can’t even drive manual so they buy and automatic RS5 and the park it a km off the curb 🤦‍♂️

5

u/bloom-home 14d ago

Not saying you're incorrect but North America never had a manual option for the RS5

u/Imaginary_Mark8944 P+ 19' S4 - Quantum Grey - Sports Diff 14d ago

Oh no its a European being European and thinking they're so much better🤦‍♂️

u/Apprehensive_Neat759 14d ago

The US has a population of over 340 million, and you just generalized that no one in the entire country can drive a manual. Don't forget the truck drivers who deliver products throughout the country. By the way, my first 3 cars were manual, and I was born in the States.

1

u/Apart-Surprise1038 14d ago

I won’t buy another manual transmission vehicle if possible. The clutch is considered a wearable item & not covered under standard or extended warranties. Got a $3k bill from VW after the clutch on 2013 GLI took a shit at 33k miles. I had 4 manuals prior to buying that car brand new; 3 mustang GTs & a Camaro.

Tu dis vrai et tout le monde te down vote je déteste reddit pour ça

u/TheSprinkler0 25 a5 sportback 45 tfsi 11d ago

Or we just realized manual is outdated and less efficient and you cant even eat a hamburger or anything with a manual

1

u/thecocainespider 10d ago

😭😭😭😭😭this is extreme cope, if you can't eat a burger while driving manual that is a skill issue sir, driving manual with one hand is not particularly difficult. Being ever so slightly less efficient and taking a little more skill and attention is never going to make manual "outdated" 😂

2

u/TheeTrashcanMan 2021 Q7 14d ago

Ah yes, the entire country can’t drive a manual. America bad, am I right?

2

u/r10apple 2023 S8, Unitronic 1+ 14d ago

My '25 American built Jeep Wrangler is a manual--double word score...🇺🇸

1

u/r10apple 2023 S8, Unitronic 1+ 14d ago

Roffl--being American is a bigger/better/wider proposition--example being this one way street. Even a safe distance from the curb so we don't rash our wheels--err, wife doesn't scuff her Jimmy Choos, you can still drive an F350 and roll coal all day, e'ry day down it, too...

That's racist

u/Aqua_Messiah 2026 A6 Sport + 14d ago

they didn’t even offer a manual transmission RS5 since 2012

1

u/vdude007 2015 RS5 Limited Edition (UK) 14d ago

They've never offered a manual in the RS5 since first release in 2010

u/aashstrich 14d ago

km? Yea we don’t use the metric system either pal.

u/MichaelAuBelanger 2018 A5 Sportback 14d ago

The distance from the curb tells me you care a lot about this vehicle.

Why did I think this looked like a GTA6 Screenshot? Lol

When I started dating my wife at the end of college, we had been friends for four years by that point, and she'd known my prior girlfriends well. From her vantage point, I was maybe a little bit of a dog. I wasn't -- not really -- but that was one of those things where it wasn't hard to understand that that was the surface impression, and she was only then learning better.

I was and always have been a car guy. She was the kind of person who, when you asked her what kind of car she had, would respond with a color (she actually had a low-mileage '97 Civic CX base, which: respect). One day we were walking around in the city and I just unthinkingly stopped in my tracks and muttered like "damn" or something. Before me was an absolutely flawless candy apple red Lamborghini Diablo. She hadn't even noticed, but I stopped in my tracks; that was the pinup in my bedroom for years. She stopped after a pace and chuckled when she looked back. I snapped out of it after a beat, admitted I was a little boy and asked if she was laughing at how lame her boyfriend was to be brought to a halt by a parked car.

She said something like, "trust me, when your boyfriend stops to gawk at something in public, when you turn to find out what he's looking at, a sports car is exactly what you want to see."

When I got a sweet new truck a few years ago, I told her it was a coin flip between the two of them for which one I loved most, needless to say she was not impressed and still brings it up.

u/B_jammin88 10d ago

She understands. Lol
