Re: Backing In
Well... some guy named PhantomoftheParkingLot left a comment... but it might get moderated out... luckily, I am psychic, so I know what he said.
In response to some idiotic rant at mockable.org....
Actually, the theatrics involved are right here (@ Mockable.org). Pretentious, unwarranted, undereducated, overly-animated, snobbish rant of the day/week/month.
Children who can’t be bothered, who are always in a hurry, who are worth more than everyone else, and think they know better because of whatever gene is broken in their strands from whatever pollution/drugs/poisoned vegetables/exotic animals their parents consumed.
We’ve got news for you, you never learned half as much as those that came before you because the educational requirements are constantly dumbed down for the lowest common denominator (you). You can’t parallel park (requires backing as well) and are too self absorbed to understand that courtesy is a part of safety, so you will drive right up the ass of the educated person that is backing to parallel park while you are texting on your cell phone because you are so much brighter and more coordinated than everyone else and the rules don’t apply to you.
You have no courtesy because you have no soul. You have no reason for your pitiful existence, so you must complain, you must justify yourself, you must reach out and blame and malign because if you don’t do unto others first they will do unto you.
You, the constant, chronic complainers are the true douche-bags, idiots and undereducated hicks.

Re: Backing In
I would normally back into all the spots I can. Only problem is, in my area all the major stores have repaved and repainted with the angled parking spots. Guess they can cram more spaces into the same sized parking lot that way? So I normally just park way out at the end of the aisle and walk the extra hundred feet. That way when I leave I can just pull through and leave forward.

Re: Backing In
I spent a great deal of my working life driving straight trucks of one kind of another so I got very used to using my mirrors when I drive anything. I back in usually because I can see a lot better because I use the mirrors. I can see exactly how close my rear bumper is to the car on either side of me.
I also back in because it is easier to see when pulling out.
I also back in because a parking lot is one of the most dangerous places as far as fender benders go and if some idiot flying through the parking lot at 30 mph across the lanes of traffic and hits my 71 F100 I would rather the idiot hit the front end instead of my bed. The fender and grill would be easier to replace than my bed.
