Who was bragging about backing up a trailer?

Hey, that's cheating!  A lot of time, money and effort went into that for something that would be used probably once to make the video.

I've gotten pretty good (sometimes) out of necessity since I moved into my new house.  I live on a street that isn't wide enough for two cars to pass and a driveway that  is just wide enough to fit my little Subaru Forester. It's a total right angle turn into the driveway due to a large tree on one side and bushes and a lamp post on the other.   The day I moved in I backed in  the boat in one shot. I impressed myself. But I was humbled the next time where I spent about 15  minutes trying to get the correct angle to get it in.  The next few times it took a bit of maneuvering, but I got it in. Another time I was so frustrated that I unhooked the trailer and pushed it in (it's up a bit of an incline and not easy to do alone). The last few times I was able to get it in with 2-3 tries. The funny thing is that maybe 10 cars a day pass my house and one of them invariably passes by when I have the street blocked with the trailer and I have to get out of their way and start over. I've probably knocked 50k  miles off of the life on my clutch trying to back the boat in.
