The 'Drag Race' host shared a helpful tip on TikTok for lining up your car when parallel parking—and fans are totally into it.

Isn't parallel parking a drag?

Not anymore!


Drag queen icon RuPaul shared with us the road wisdom we never knew we needed when he posted a TikTok video demonstrating how to properly parallel park.

Driving school was in session when RuPaul said the secret to successfully parking on a side street in the space between two parked vehicles (car A in the front & car B in the back) was using your passenger side door—or PSD—as a guide.

"Your PSD has a front seam and a back seam," said the runway expert while wearing a white oxford shirt, sunglasses, and a wide-brim sunhat throwing the right amount of shade.

The three-time recipient of the GLAAD Media Awards suggested drivers should pull their car alongside car A about 12 inches apart. Next, while operating their vehicle in reverse, he said it was safe to turn the wheel toward the space (the driver's right side) once the back seam of their PSD was aligned with car A's rear bumper.

He continued:

"Once the front seam of your PSD is aligned with the rear bumper of car A, cut your wheel in the opposite direction, and voila."

"Yaay!" he exclaimed with both hands in the air after completing the effortless maneuver, adding, "You have been promoted."

The fierce tutorial was captioned with:

"Bumper? I hardly know her! Parallel parking made easy!"

The clip went viral, with over 5 million views in less than 24 hours after being posted last Thursday.

According to Queerty, it's on track to be his biggest-ever TikTok video.

RuPaul telling the internet they've been promoted was the affirmation they were thrilled to receive.

Gavin Newsom Rips Pete Hegseth For Suggesting Press Is Only Reporting On U.S. Casualties To Make Trump Look Bad

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized by California Governor Gavin Newsom after Hegseth accused the press of only reporting on the negative effects of President Donald Trump's attacks on Iran.

Trump has said that the U.S. military was "knocking the crap out of Iran" but the "big wave" of attacks is still yet to come, and has not ruled out putting boots on the ground, saying the war is progressing "way ahead of schedule." Trump has urged Iranians to revolt, even as the regime reshuffles leadership following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and some of his associates.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
