I usually pull in, unless I'm someplace where I'm not supposed to be, then I will "combat park" ......

I only back in when at a meet, otherwise just pull in forward.

I was a lot attendant for nearly 4 years back in college, where we had to back the cars in to park. Nowadays, I always back in, even into my narrow garage. I think I'm actually better at backing in than pulling straight in.

And your car looks nicer backed in.

Whichever, as long im far away of others cars. But if im on hurry pull in

PureShield · 01-14-2016, 03:52 PM

I normally park on the lines because I am an asshole.

Tinted rear window+blacked out reverse light=always pull in. It's not as hard for me to back out of a parking spot. Plus when your rear bumper is sticking out its more visible to other drivers looking for a spot. I've backed in before only to realize that you can't see my car in the spot unless your right on it.

Since my car is so damn long, I usually pull but even that can sometimes be a little annoying. It all really depends on how much traffic there is around me, but more importantly, how much room I have to play with. In smaller lots I'll typically just pull in, but if I can, I like to back in as it makes it much easier to leave.

I back in, pull in, and also do it parallel. I can handle all positions

FR-Sky · 01-14-2016, 04:36 PM

I do whatever I feel like at that time.

Pretty park, always. Perferably next to a curb to half the chances of some asshole swinging a door into my baby.

I always back in. I didn't install a reverse camera for nothing!!

I always back in because you won't scrape the front bumper/spoiler backing in or leaving it's the same for parking spots.

These photos proves my point.
