Is it Ghetto to back your Z in?
 
This was an interesting thread jack over in the Fast Intentions thread do I thought I'd open the floor for discussion.

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.

Parking is difficult in Europe in general and backing can assist in leaving and working out of a spot faster. Its practical. Ghetto its not. Its just parking! Its quite almost the norm here :tiphat:

This should be interesting.


In my opinion-no.

It seems like many fellow soldiers share my habit of pull through or back in parking.

Ghetto isn't what I'd call it. Pointless is... at least in most cases I see. People do it in the parking lot where I work all the time, and do it horribly, where it takes them like 3-4 tries before they are happy with their parking. I don't really get the point, it always takes way longer in the end.

Sometimes backing in is more practical, but most of the time I see trashy looking donks on 24's being rocked back and forth half a dozen times before their thug owners finally give up and get out of their slewed car.

99% of the time I back in to my spot. If you know how to park straight it's no problem, and it makes getting out of your spot a lot safer.

The key is being able to do it properly in one try. Most people can't pull forward into a spot in one try. :bowrofl:

Not ghetto. Just planning the escape. :icon17:

Done properly and smoothly, its nice. Otherwise, it usually just accompanies loud bass, shiny over-sized rims, and candy-bar branded paint schemes to bring attention to some thugs existence.

You're acting like most of the people that back in to a spot are thugs. :bowrofl:

For me I have a better view especially when parking in a corner spot.

:iagree: it is far safer to back into a parking spot. Also if you can't back into a spot in one try and keep it between the lines, you shouldn't be driving.

Please also consider that the title of this thread contains grammar consistent with Ebonics.

"Is it Ghetto to back you Z in?"

I guess what you do with you whip is you business, dawg.
