Do you back into your parking spots?

[Oler Ted]

Power move or cuck move?

 

[GarnetPild]

Douche move unless it is a spot where it will be easier to pull out than back out...but just backing in every spot is a loser move. If you do this, you likely drive a pickup truck squatted low in the back and wear a gold chain.

It’s 100% cuck move asking if something is a power move or cuck move on an Internet forum. Real men already know the answer

 

[America 1st]

Back inn. Eye like two bee able two whip it quick if eye knead two.

 

[QuanChi]

Back in. It’s the white man's way of parking. A bit more effort today for a greater reward tomorrow.

 

[Mvforau]

Try to always back in. Work at an early age drilled it into our heads. More likely to be paying more attention upon arrival. Especially if I am hauling a trailer. Let’s all the other cucks that can’t back a trailer know their place.

 

[hmt5000]

I back if I can. Makes leaving easier. Most wrecks happen backing out of a parking spot.

 

[SmokeHouse423]

I am not a loser, so no. Only when absolutely necessary

Or don’t really have a nice car but you overvalue it so you back in while holding everyone up because a you couldn’t get lined up the first time.

I’m from west Texas and drive a truck… easier to leave when I’m backed in!

 

[Chuck 2020]

Seriously @Oler Ted ? You start a thread about backing in and its not PAWG related?

This is your answer. Turning radius on a pickup is such that it’s far easier to back in and pull straight out. Also, I’m in the habit of going to the last spot in line and parking as close to the curb as you can. Gives you more space, and prevents some idiot from giving you a door ding.

You must not be from Atlanta. It’s opposite here on race on who generally backs in.

Btw with those fancy ai rear facing cameras it’s safer since the camera alerts cross traffic when backing out. Whereas when pulling out forward you can’t see around big vehicles.

 

[grimm515]

I always try to pull through. Best of both worlds.

This. It would seriously take me twice as long to pull forward into most spots. I can back into most spots on the first try. My truck is long as fuck, all the bitches in their BMWs need to just take a chill pill.

How does it take twice as long to simply swing wide and turn into the spot, versus pulling past it, shifting to reverse, and backing in? I can back up with the best of em, but it is definitely faster to pull straight in.

There are very few driving aisles that are wide enough that I can swing wide enough to pull into the spot on one try, without having to backup to get straight and be in between the lines. I could get out of the aisle in one try but I would be crooked as shit and the people on either side of me may or may not be able to get out.

I can backup and be exactly in between the lines on one try.

You should of done a "back that thing up" with a phat ass.

Must be a long truck you got there. I only drive a Yukon, so no such issues with pulling straight in.

My AT4 1500 isn’t as long as I suspect nick’s is but a Yukon/Tahoe are much easier to park than my truck.

My yukon turning radius is insanely tight.

Couple of things, if there is a parking curve the front spoiler on my car likes to scrub them. Have a camera backing up so can see when to stop.

Also you are something like 60% more likely to hit someone backing out of a parking spot than backing into one. That is why fleet trunks like AT&T have to always back in. They say when you are backing out you are putting on your seat belt or other tasks as opposed to backing into one where you are already in driving mode.

All valid points. That said, thank Christ backing in is not the norm. I'm sure most of us here could put on a parking clinic, but can you imagine all the wrecks if everyone was expected to back into parking spots?! Most dumbshits can barely parallel park, forget backing in.

It definitely is long. Plus the backup cameras make backing in even easier. When I had my Ridgeline I never backed it. Always pulled in forward. But I had to adjust my strategy with this new truck.

 

[RollyInRaleigh]

Only if I’m at an event where backing out when you leave is nearly impossible because of the amount of traffic. I always backed in at the parking garage at Purdue University when I went to basketball games at Mackey Arena.

When someone pulls into a spot and there is one across the don't pull through, it annoys the shit out of me

So there is a difference in backing in and backing out?

Also I love watching people try and parallel park...

It is a power cuck move.

Even more fun than watching people parallel park, is watching people at the boat ramp!

 

[Belezabro]

I back into my garage every time. That way my door is facing toward the middle which gives me more room. Plus it’s much easier to load and upload the back.

 

[Dawg1572]

Only black people do that shit.

 

[LVRebel]

First choice is a pull through. If not available, then it depends which vehicle I'm driving. If driving my F250, then yes, I typically back in unless there's either a pull through, or a nice big parking lot that gives enough room to navigate getting in and out. If I'm driving my wife's car, I'll just pull in as normal.

As for the backing in, it has a couple of benefits with a truck. In most trucks, the amount of truck that sticks over the back wheels is greater than the amount that sticks over the front wheels, which will allow you to keep less of your vehicle in the drive lane, assuming that there is a concrete curb in the parking spot.

Also, if you park in a spot and no one is on your sides, then you come out later and have a couple people that have parked on both sides, it's much easier to navigate getting out of the spot if your front end is sticking out.

I have to pull though. We have a 45’ RV that required a 1 ton truck. Even without the trailer, It is impossible to park in one spot and not block something. Also nearly impossible to park straight between the lines. You will find me out in the middle of the lot utilizing 2-4 space ZFG

 

[TopHook]

Back in. GOAT move.

I think this is the only acceptable answer to the opees question.

 

[dirtytoeddawg]

When riding my Harley I back in

 

[Joe Kings]

Sometimes, yes If I feel like it. No rhyme or reason. Couldnt image something like this effecting somebodies thought process. I will respond to a lot of posts in this thread accordingly.

Wow that was quick. Pussy, is all I have. My 17yr old who does it every time would whoop your ass. Id tell him not to but hes his own man.

You probably cant back in a Prius. All the boys crying in here about backing in is bc they cant back in a vehicle. smh
