I personally back into nearly every spot I pull into, unless I pull in through the spot that ends up behind me. Either way, the end result's the same. I find that it's safer for me to drive out of a spot than it is to back out into traffic where I'm half blind.
Does "getto" mean difficult? If so, no, not to me.

Probably easier to maneuver around that dumpster too. :icon17:

I hope you're not one of those numbnutz that pulls through and your car ends up pointing the wrong way in an obviously one way parking lane.

I can't back into my spot on campus because they'd give me a parking ticket. :icon17:

No, I dont think so. Actually, I would have never thought that until I read this post hahah. I back in when I can because the rear is higher up than the front lip of my car...

I have not noticed cars in the ghetto all facing one direction.

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

This is precisely why I back in a lot of the times. Those stupid parking curbs are going to be the bane of my existence. :rofl2:

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.
