Combat parking FTW it's what we are taught as MPs and it's what I have my recruiters do wherever they go.

I understand that. parking straight in vs backing into a parking space makes sense as a topic, but how is it considered ghetto?

Somebody said it was on the F.I. thread :shakes head:

Yes, someone stated that they thought it was ghetto, so I felt it was prudent to discuss it a bit further in a thread all it's own. I don't agree with the statement, but the comment garnered some interest in a completely unrelated thread. :)

Wait who was the person that said it was ghetto?

Here's the post that spawned it all.

I've been working in the valet industry since I was 19...so it's a habit that I back in. Since I parted out my Z though, I really stopped caring and pull forward wherever.

No is not. We call that "combat parking". If you need to get out fast, just get in and drive. I always park "combat style". I think people who "combat park" are smarter than the rest.

You have to be able to slide over the hood effectively if you want to call it a true combat parking style. :icon17:

I like to back the Z in because it looks mean setting under my carport.

this thread is... lolzzz

11 people don't know what ghetto means....

Nick911sc 02-24-2012 01:19 PM
I do indeed back my car in whenever I get a chance. It's much safer due to the blind spots our cars inherently have. But when you do make sure to roll down your windows and have this blasting on the radio...

A member mentioned that backing into a parking spot was ghetto and I'm here today to get the real low-down as it were. Tell me what you think and why.

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.
It's safer and also with my rear back-up camera, there is no guessing how close you are to scraping your front bumper :)

happytheman 02-24-2012 11:18 PM
Yup, I've ridden up on that chin spoiler a few too many times, hence the decision to no longer pull straight in. :ugh2:

Oh I loled. This is where being short plays into my hand. To me the front always seems closer than it is to the curb. I foresee very little problems with me scraping the front.

As far as backing in, kudos to you guys who can do it. My gigantic spoiler makes it near impossible for me to attempt. Plus I like looking at her rear more anyways :)
