I don't pull out, but my couch does.

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 have to back into my driveway as well, but cannot enter it square. I have to back in at an angle, otherwise I will scrape. :ugh2:

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

Combat parking :p You always stage your vehicles that way especially on QRF so you can respond quicker.

Yeah, that's why I park my Z like that! "Be Prepared" I always say! :rofl2:

Mikes350z 02-23-2012 04:05 PM

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.

TheGreatOne 02-23-2012 04:45 PM

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?

The point was to get people to talk about it, and they have good sir! :)
