These guys were told back-in parking was prohibited at their car park so they made a car with two fronts to see the attendant's reaction
- This US parking lot banned backing into spaces
- So, one YouTuber found a way to side-step the rule
- Will he get off on his technicality?

If you come across a seemingly inane rule then a workaround is the ultimate revenge without breaking the rules – take this US parking lot, for example.
It was prohibited for cars to back into spaces.
So one YouTuber found a hilarious way to side-step the rule.
He’s abiding by the rules albeit on a technicality that will leave the parking attendant scratching his head.

The parking workaround
After being issued a ticket for backing into a space, prankster and YouTuber personality, Ross Creations, of Vlog Creations, was looking for a way to flout the rules.
In the skit, he seemingly gets into his car and goes to purchase two vehicles.
Back in the workshop, he and his team get straight to work – splicing each car straight down the middle before disposing of the back ends.
After disposing of one engine, they weld the two back halves together to create a Franken-car like nothing you’ve seen before.
Similar double-take vehicles include this stretched Volkswagen that’s so wide its builder has to regularly clarify it’s not Photoshopped.
Similarly, this 1993 Humvee has been chopped, dropped, and swapped to be wider than looks normal, too.
The prank
While one engine is AWOL, the driver sitting in the seat traveling backward makes that arguably the front of the car, too.
So when the car drives into the space? Technically it hasn’t backed in.
No ticket necessary.
“I’ve never seen something like that, ever. How does that work?” asks one bystander.
Others stop or slow their vehicles to capture photos and footage of the bizarre vehicle.
“Did they back in or pull in?” asks one passerby.
“Pull in because it’s illegal to back in,” a second confirms.
As hilarity ensues from a safe distance for the YouTubing team, the attendant looks confused and captures a photo, presumably sending it to their supervisor before driving away.
No ticket issued: point made.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
