I just listen for the sound of the snow scraping the side of my car, the familiar thump of something getting in my way, and the yelp of the neighbor’s kid that wouldn’t move quick enough.

Sure they do. When you start hearing the sound of scraping or cracking metal and ABS, that's when you stop!

Yes, the ones that crunch are known as Italian parallel parking sensors.

I’m just imagining raw spaghetti used as those old “curb feeler” devices from the 50s and 60s 😂

You’re giving me flashbacks to last month: sitting in my truck smoking about to go inside Home Depot and someone tries to pull in next to me, I’m thinking “he’s not gonna make that turn.” Sure enough he realizes he’s too diagonal and backs up to straighten out, cranks his wheel the opposite way, front end of his truck swings out and hits my rear bumper and tail light. Luckily it only hit the bumper ($350-400) and tail light ($50). Missed the bedside panel by 3” ($500+labor, likely several hundred, plus paint, also likely a few hundred and would never match perfectly)
