Parking is up to the driver. No it is not ghetto. |

There is one time when I would say that backing in is ghetto: on a street with diagonal parking. I see this every once in a while... Definitely ghetto.

.....but that's assuming this whole thing makes sense in the first place :icon17:

1. Front of car is lower than back
2. rear visibility in the Z = what visibility; therefore safer to back into spot than back out into traffic. 3. Along with #2, at night it's hard to back out of a spot because I can't see much and have to use side mirrors. 4. how can a parking job even be called "ghetto" 5. only time I would say wtf for a parking job is when somebody tries to back into an angled parking spot :shakes head: |

I just use my factory back up camera. I'd rather not try to accidentally scrape my front
end on those cement parking blocks.http://www.crescoconcrete.com/parkingstop.jpg I've seen so many people eat these things badly. |
That's the main reason I back in.. Even without the camera I feel it is easier to judge...
|
Is it ghetto? Hardly. I back mine in all the time for the reasons others have stated, it's easier and safer as long as you are proficient in parking in one try.
|
Not Ghetto at all. It is something everyone should do occasionally. Along with parallel parking and parking in general. All of us have seen some pretty crappy drivers out there with a valid drivers license. :tup:
|
Im a backer. :tup: Especially at places I wanna get the hell out of really fast after Im done, for example, like work. :icon17:
|
I think its pretentious to back into a spot every time you park. I wouldn't call it ghetto, but it does draw more attention. Personally, I only back in if it's beneficial for me to get out later with less hassle, or at car meets where you want to showcase your car, hence draw attention.
|
It’s only ghetto when you back in and take up 2 spots.
I have become accustom to backing in due to living in a condo in which a wall blocked my driver side door from opening if I were to park forward. One attempt and done… it actually takes me a couple tries to park forward “just right” and I have been driving for 25 years! Haha! |
Whenever I think about it I back in. It's so much safer when pulling out. Plus the back up camera makes it so I don't hit anything behind me.

I always back into my driveway. The damn chin spoiler always scrapes if I park heading in...funny enough, it doesn't if I back into the driveway. In parking lots, it doesn't really matter because I park far away from any other car anyways.

It's safer, but coming from driving pick-ups I find driving in reverse to be a bit of a challenge. I do practice occasionally and am getting better...the blind spot is crazy! I can parallel-park like a madman though :)

The last thing I'd associate with the word "ghetto" is backing into a parking spot. I've never even heard of this. I must be missing something, or I haven't been exposed to the areas where this notion is supposed to come from. But come to think of it, I've never backed my Z into a parking spot once. At my old job I used to back my RX-8 into my spot because it was easier to make sure any other vehicles leaving/entering have gone by me.

Went to a Mini meet with my wife and everyone backs in to show off their front badge (it's a Mini thing I guess).

I back-in, 99.999% of the time.
They don't know how to back-in to a parking so they call us 'ghetto' It is ghetto, if they don't park the car within the square. LOL :icon18: |

Yeah, that's why I park my Z like that! "Be Prepared" I always say! :rofl2:
|
I back the Z up into almost every spot unless in a hurry and then ill just throw it into a spot. I like to back it in because easier to pull out of the spot and i can see right away where all other cars are. Z has bad blind spots backing up. Calling it "Ghetto" seems pretty absurd to me.
|
Now that I think about it, I probably back in most of the time...whenever I have my wife with me she would say "oh, so you think you're cool??" lol. Hater
I think the only times I park forward is when I want to admire my exhaust on the walk back to my car :) |
|
I dont even understand what the whole point of this thread is for. Who cares if its ghetto or not. Youre not bothering/troubling anyone but yourself.
....and ghetto? Really? How does the way you park justify if youre "ghetto" or not. Lousy parking, lazy parking, sloppy parking, now that makes sense, but ghetto parking? Sent from my DROID Pro using Tapatalk |
The point was to get people to talk about it, and they have good sir! :)

Yup, good point Zman.

I vote indifferent. Sometimes I back in so that I can have a better visual when puling out into traffic like at a roadside cafe.
Heck call me ghetto if you want, I'm not out to impress anyone, too old for that.:tiphat: :twocents: |
