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 Shames Trump For 'Politicizing' Los Angeles Fires In Powerful Clip

After President-elect Donald Trump spread lies about the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires, blaming California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom for the destruction, Newsom addressed the matter on CNN, telling Anderson Cooper that Trump "wanted to politicize" the disaster even as people flee and lose their lives.

Deadly wildfires in Los Angeles County remain largely uncontained, with officials reporting at least five confirmed fatalities so far. However, on Thursday, authorities admitted, “frankly, we don’t know” the true extent of the death toll. Evacuation orders are currently affecting nearly 180,000 residents, as thousands of homes and buildings have been destroyed.
