Let's spin the Wheel of Viralityto find out what Twitter has decided to stan today. Aaaaaand013 Archives it looks like it's two parked cars!
A Twitter saga has erupted with everyone from celebrities like Chrissy Teigen to LA locals weighing in on a fierce parallel parking battle. The internet is now firmly split — are you #TeamBlackCar or #TeamSilverCar?
But how did we get here? Let's start at the beginning, with some high-stakes parking choices and even higher levels of passive aggression.
Twitter user @Mrhflrs set the scene, starting thread on Monday evening about the horrors of parking in Koreatown. The backstory: Silver Car, on the right, is blocking Black Car, on the left from parallel parking into a coveted street spot in LA.

If this story ended here, it would be a mildly interesting level of LA parking pettiness. But she starts to add to the updates, marking the time because folks, this is not ending anytime soon.

The standoff intensifies as the night continues. Cars passing by are forced to drive around the two and into oncoming traffic. A parking spot even opens up across the street, yet both cars refuse to move. It is then that she turns to the internet to weigh in — who's in the right here? Black or Silver?

There's a symphony of angry horns, and traffic starts to build up. Approaching the one hour mark of the stalemate, @Mrhflrs also give us a little more backstory to our two parking protagonists.

But then, when all hope of a resolution seems lost, Silver Car backs off and Black Car successfully parallel parks. Although now there's the question of the drivers facing one another. One must have to leave their car eventually, right? Twitter is captivated.

The saga ends with Silver taking the gold and leaving the car first. But of course, there are two sides to every story. So, @Mrhflrs decides to set up a new email, and leaves both Black and Silver notes on their car, giving them opportunity to email her and tell their story to the world.

Even after receiving a fake response email, @Mrhflrs still hopes to find the two individuals behind the cars and reunite them for some much-needed Korean BBQ.
And thus, the Twitter battle rages on, with experienced drivers and casual observers alike taking a side and airing their parking woes in the form of stanning cars. Just another day on the internet.
