This topic also started in the F.I. thread so we just continued it here

Yup, good point Zman.

I vote indifferent. Sometimes I back in so that I can have a better visual when puling out into traffic like at a roadside cafe.

Heck call me ghetto if you want, I'm not out to impress anyone, too old for that.

I understand that. parking straight in vs backing into a parking space makes sense as a topic, but how is it considered ghetto?

Combat parking FTW it's what we are taught as MPs and it's what I have my recruiters do wherever they go.

Somebody said it was on the F.I. thread

Yes, someone stated that they thought it was ghetto, so I felt it was prudent to discuss it a bit further in a thread all it's own. I don't agree with the statement, but the comment garnered some interest in a completely unrelated thread.

Wait who was the person that said it was ghetto?

Here's the post that spawned it all.

I've been working in the valet industry since I was 19...so it's a habit that I back in. Since I parted out my Z though, I really stopped caring and pull forward wherever.
