AWD_Rules3830 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 do y'all back your Subies into parking spots, its just become habit for me to back in my car into spaces now ... in addition to parking away from everyone else haha. I have noticed this thing among my friends, people who drive nicers cars back them into parking spaces. I love my car ... basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerami1981 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 seems most people who are rich enough to drive these 'nice' cars drive automatics and probably couldnt back their into a spot or parallel park for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scans007 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 <-- Always backs into the garage and work space. Other places I back in approx 85% of the time depending on time, traffic around me ect...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I don't bother particularly with "out of the way" spots - but if I can get a "corner" or "side" spot, I'll definitley go for it, and edge the vehicle as close to the dead-side as much as possible. I figure that living in the city, she's bound to get ding'ed and dented at some point in her life...after all, she's an everyday driver. As for head-out parking? Unless the parking space/lot/deck specifically forbids it, I almost *always* do it - the sole caveat comes if I know I'm going to be loading/unloading big or bulky items from the trunk.

-Smoke_ Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I almost always back in, and I also look for the end spots, and park as close to the edge as possible. No dings yet! If it's a double facing type parking, I pull thru, and still try for an end spot, or I'll park out away from everyone else.

Vahkil Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Most of my friends drive manuals (they like to drive real cars) A recent study showed that 72% of people with imaginary cars pull into parking spaces nose-first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wukindada Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Always back in....not only that but I also only park @ a end spot.

AWD_Rules3830 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 yea i always back my car into the garage at night. I love my car ... basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggert Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 hmm.. i back into my spot at work, but it's because i get in early. there's no one around and it's easy to do so. after work, it's more crowded and people drive around the parking deck like idiots so it's easier and safer to just drive straight out.

PeterJMC Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I back into spots 98.6% of the time. If I don't, it's because I would be blocking traffic if I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADirtyLegacy Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 whats the big deal about backing in all the time, especially in public? when i parked out back of my house i would back in b/c it's easier to pull out b/c it's ungodly narrow back there, plus my driveway is between my mailbox and the powerbox (which i took out in the moving truck on day one!) for my section of townhouses. i never back in when im out in public. just never found a reason too, plus i like being able to find my car by it's dirty large ass when i walk out of a store Kenda:dm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
see_obxt Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I usually drive thru to the space so it just looks like i backed in. All you manual drivers are just jealous of my 5EAT because I can drink coffee in heavy traffic while talking on my cell phone... Always park so you can make a clean get away. Never know if CTU is on to you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmonkey841 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I back into spots about 80% of the time (always have, even with my not so nice cars before, so it's not really because of the car for me)...When I don't back in, it's either because it's a one way parking lot or someone's in the car or waiting for me... I try to park at end spots like most other people (unless there's a tree above that drips sap)...But don't worry too much about parking away from people anymore....the last time I did that, there was no one within 20 spaces of me, I come out and there's a ton of people parked next me, except for the side that I now have a door ding...
