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."

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

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.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

Videos Of Squirrels Trying To 'Vape' Are Going Viral—And We Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
