Mostly its the minorities around where I live that you see backing into parking-spaces. If they have flashy rims, you can bet they will see-saw back and forth a dozen times trying to line it up. It's a show-off thing. It's part of the formula that makes a $2500 beat -up old cop car BALLIN!

Dunno what inspired the viper owner. From what I hear, it's an older woman that owns it.

I pretty much back in everywhere I park in the z. The point isn't to show off its more of a I can see where I'm going kind of thing. The blind spots are too big to comfortably back out of a parking spot and risk some moron clipping me.

Can't say that I blame the vette's driver. Most (NOT ALL) viper drivers are major arseholes. Just read through their forum, you'll know what I mean.

Exactly. It's always much safer to back in when parking because you are able to view the entire area as you pull up.

I really just didn't want to ding the Viper (or my 'vette for that matter) and I don't normally back into spaces, so I just erred on the side of caution.

Great stuff. I didn't realize it was your corvette, it looks fantastic in white

Thanks! White is a bit of a rare color for the Z06. As far as I know, even counting the special Ron Fellows editions, only about 1100 have been made since the C6Z was introduced.

I think every car has a color it looks best in. Regardless of what people will say, I think the corvette looks best in white due to how it shows the lines of the car. Dark colors hide a lot of the nuance of the body-work on the 'vette. Even the base models "pop" in white.
