How do you prefer to put it in?

**GeezerSi** · 11-06-2006, 08:59 AM

Do you like to pull forward into a spot or back into a spot?

CivicWithNav · 11-06-2006, 09:09 AM

back that ass up

if i have an end spot, i'll almost always back in and use my side mirrors to get within 4~6 inches from the curve so i can be far away from the idiot next to me. somehow tho they always seem to park so close to me

**atruhondagrl** · 11-06-2006, 09:29 AM

Depends on the spot and my mood at the moment. But most of the time I back the car in.

**jasonandre** · 11-06-2006, 09:31 AM

We're talking about a car, right? My mind is so in the gutter on this poll... drive it forward, yeeeaaaah.

mikepesikan · 11-06-2006, 09:33 AM

Forward into the garage at home, back in at work.

bhoy · 11-06-2006, 09:49 AM

i go straight in.

dc1974 · 11-06-2006, 10:16 AM

Back 'er in always... makes for a quicker get away should a "situation" arise.

***rippars*** · 11-06-2006, 10:21 AM

back into most parking spots unless im parking in my garage.

sfccrx · 11-06-2006, 10:38 AM

depends, I usually park so I can pull forward out.

i usually go forward, but i take up 2 spots.

spocheld · 11-06-2006, 10:47 AM

OMG, people who back in drive me nuts!!! I want to put a note on their car asking "Where's the valet service?" Pull the damn car in like a normal person already, and back it out like everyone else.

you're kidding right?

I like to PIIHB.

Zesti1 · 11-06-2006, 10:59 AM

I always back into spots unless I can drive through 2 spots, so that I can drive out of the spot when I need to get out.

if that makes any sense.....

Only place I pull into a spot is in my garage.

ayenoc · 11-06-2006, 12:56 PM

here in CALI especiall some universities, they give you ticket for backing up in the space.. kinda stupid but i know some mall does the same.. i love backing up in the space but sometimes it prohibits u.. oh well.

BlueSi · 11-06-2006, 01:02 PM

sichick · 11-06-2006, 01:06 PM

Yeah I'd love to know the reasoning too. When your backed in, it's so much easier to get out.

The company I work for it's a company policy to back your vehicle in. The mentality is "you have to be able to drive out of any situation that might happen". I work in construction so that might have something to do with it!

Love the way this thread is phrased

It depends.....at my apartment complex I almost always back it in but everywhere else I just pull in
