I shouldn't have used the term "real z driver" i guess. fact is backing out of a parking spot can be dangerous because you can't see what is coming from the sides at all. Friends used to make fun of me bc I back into all my parking spots now, they thought I was doing it to be cool. sorry, I'm not in my twenties any more, not much is done anymore bc its "cool" I tend to have practical reasons for my madness now a days.

the "real Z drivers" are getaway drivers and back in so they are always ready for a hasty exit.

Here in TX you can't get away from the pickup trucks. Inch by inch by inch is the ONLY way to do it safely when backing up in the Z. I always feel like an idiot when it takes me forever to clear the full cab extended bed pickup truck only to see a car waiting who was nice enough to yield even when they didn't want my parking space.

What I've discovered about Murphy's Law is things can always be worse. Murphy's Law states that if something bad can go wrong it will go wrong, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the thing to go wrong will be the worst thing possible.

My husband says people are always letting me in/yielding/stopping for me because I'm female. I say no way. Never happened when I had my GTI. They see the hotness of the Z and they do the right thing. Am I right? (But then there are the people who go out of their way to block you/cut you off/etc because they are envious. That's a whole other thread.) |

Then, of course, there are the jealous idiots. I try to just get out of there way as much as I can, but sometimes they just need a little lesson
