I like it, but I cannot drive on a computer either.
Posted by: Juggler of Geese | June 16, 2006 at 10:12 AM
my fingers don't hit the arrow keys fast enough. I could do it more quickly with my real car!
Posted by: ceeg22 | June 16, 2006 at 10:14 AM
Damn, $12,000 worth of damage in the first 10 seconds. (Reminds me of Mrs. Thunking's driving skills).
*I didn't say that out loud, I used parenthises*

OK, I park even worse on the computer than with my car.
Posted by: sthnbelle | June 16, 2006 at 10:14 AM
man even this is too much work after staying up so late last night..why do they have to start a 9pm....
I wanna go home and rest for sunday's NBA madness..

Wow. Do the directors of Cars know about this? I wonder how they'd do?
Cuz I s*ck.
Posted by: WoosterGirl | June 16, 2006 at 10:21 AM
I can't even get past the demo!
Posted by: Suzy Q | June 16, 2006 at 10:23 AM
bookmarked for a clearer-headed day

No Problem Bob, I don't drive at all, I wouldnt be borrowing it.
Posted by: Juggler of Geese | June 16, 2006 at 10:28 AM
Did it..45 seconds....after 25,000 $ in damage first.
Posted by: Musically Challenged | June 16, 2006 at 10:30 AM
"...but I cannot drive on a computer either."
Remind ME never to let you borrow the computer!
Posted by: CoastRaven | June 16, 2006 at 10:37 AM
Damn...I'm down to 37.3 seconds.
Posted by: Musically Challenged | June 16, 2006 at 10:39 AM
Wow that was fun. Wait, you're not supposed to damage it? Plus, I really don't see how I can put $50 000 worth of damage on a car that only cost probably about $20 000 to begin with.
Posted by: Somewhere North | June 16, 2006 at 10:40 AM
I like running over the dog
Posted by: «LabSpecimen» | June 16, 2006 at 10:41 AM
25.1 seconds...I need a life.
Posted by: Musically Challenged | June 16, 2006 at 10:42 AM
Why must the game be over once I hit a car? That doesn't stop me in real life!
Posted by: KOW | June 16, 2006 at 10:51 AM
Never hit the dog. 111.7 was my score. Is that seconds? I didn't hit anything. I really need to do some work!
Posted by: cyaneyed | June 16, 2006 at 10:57 AM
I wish it would stop making me start at the beginning everytime I hit one random little car. I've totalled 18 cars so far. Youd think they would take my license away soon.
Sheesh.
When do I get to the level where I can aim for the people crossing the street?
Posted by: wolfie | June 16, 2006 at 10:58 AM
Does anybody have a walkthrough for this game? I can't get the little man on the left to throw the fish at the walrus. And that's the only way I can think of to get to the red button.
What does the green button do?
Posted by: «LabSpecimen» | June 16, 2006 at 11:01 AM
Wait, this is a European "smart" car. Why can't I park it on the sidewalk like they do in Europe?
Posted by: monkeyshines | June 16, 2006 at 11:02 AM
This would be a lot easier if the arrows corresponded directly with what you saw on the screen instead of to the direction the car is facing.
Posted by: Ann | June 16, 2006 at 11:09 AM
yeah!! its the game, not me - i can park... i'm parked in this chair all day...
Posted by: queensbee | June 16, 2006 at 11:10 AM
Lab ~ He's not supposed to throw it at the walrus. That's just a trick. If you click on the chick smoking next to him, she will drop the ciggie on his foot and make him jump. The he smacks her with the fish and the walrus eats her.
How come you didn't know that?
Don't push the green button. It turns them all into aliens.
Posted by: wolfie | June 16, 2006 at 11:10 AM
Apparently the computer and I have differing opinions on what constitutes an acceptable parking job. Exactly how centered does this car have to be int eh space anyway?
Posted by: boo augustus | June 16, 2006 at 11:23 AM
they should give this test to ALL MIAMIANS every year...
Posted by: Chaz Schlueter | June 16, 2006 at 11:27 AM
BTW: how do YOU know how much work I did and didnt do this week...HUH?
Posted by: Chaz Schlueter | June 16, 2006 at 11:28 AM
14.5 seconds.
* Na-na to the parking challenged in the room. *
Posted by: Musically Challenged | June 16, 2006 at 11:29 AM
I need blue hair.
Posted by: nannie | June 16, 2006 at 11:40 AM
*pouts*
The control arrows don't show up on my screen.
Posted by: Eleanor | June 16, 2006 at 11:48 AM
DAMN you and your infernal time-wasters!
(Please Sir, may I have another...)
Posted by: Todd McLaren | June 16, 2006 at 11:48 AM
74.2!!! I really need to get a life.
And El, it's the arrow buttons and space bar on your keyboard.
Posted by: blurkernomore | June 16, 2006 at 11:49 AM
i waited around for the valet, but he never came....
Posted by: crossgirl | June 16, 2006 at 12:07 PM
They should have you sign-in as a male or female and then track who gets the best score.
My wife tells me that women are not as good at parallel parking as men are.
What do you think?
Posted by: Dr. Doug | June 16, 2006 at 12:14 PM
More CARnage than one of those shoot-em-up games.
Posted by: Rusty1 | June 16, 2006 at 12:17 PM
So let me get this straight - it can't be a PE uless it's (not its) INCREDIBLY frustrating.
grrrrrrrr
Posted by: sthnbelle | June 16, 2006 at 12:18 PM
SEE? It's got me so upset, I'm leaving n's out of words.
Posted by: sthnbelle | June 16, 2006 at 12:19 PM
My insurance agent just called - he wants me to stop playing. Something about a world record of most cars hit in a 2 minute period. whatever.
Posted by: 24-aholic | June 16, 2006 at 12:32 PM
I can't do it!!! I need front-wheel drive. And hand-eye coordination.
Posted by: Cheryl | June 16, 2006 at 01:05 PM
Whoo Hoo! 64.9 for all 4 runs. Top that blurkernomore!
Posted by: Matt | June 16, 2006 at 01:29 PM
dangit - it won't skid sideways into the space
Posted by: ASK the Clearly Deranged | June 16, 2006 at 01:42 PM
85.5 and I'll be buggered if I go back and do that again. I'm sweating like I just took my driver's test!
Posted by: Higgy | June 16, 2006 at 01:57 PM
Matt,
I must bow to your computer driving abilitage.
Posted by: blurkernomore | June 16, 2006 at 03:48 PM
Aaargh!
Posted by: Rosie | June 16, 2006 at 04:22 PM
It said I hit a car. I did not! I hit a building. (But I missed the dog.)
Posted by: mama723 | June 16, 2006 at 04:28 PM
This would be better if you had the opportunity to put your shopping cart away (and lost points for not doing it).
Posted by: Brad | June 16, 2006 at 05:03 PM
I am officially pissed off. TY Dave Barry, I shall NOT sleep tonight, worrying about how to master this godforsaken game. UGH
Posted by: sybilll | June 17, 2006 at 01:12 AM
I started out by backing the car into the spot, and then sat and watched the time count down... for the next 45 seconds. then I saw the directions that I had to pull in front first. That was harder. I quit after I got to level three because it made me start all over when I had an accident. This cracked me up. Have an accident, get a new car instantly. In my world, I get to drive the cars that need an extra tweak here and there due to damage done by the punk teenaged kids who drove them before I did.
