Is it Ghetto to back your Z in?

MR.nismo · 02-24-2012, 11:41 AM

No is not. We call that "combat parking". If you need to get out fast, just get in and drive. I always park "combat style". I think people who "combat park" are smarter than the rest.

You have to be able to slide over the hood effectively if you want to call it a true combat parking style.

I like to back the Z in because it looks mean setting under my carport.

11 people don't know what ghetto means....

I do indeed back my car in whenever I get a chance. It's much safer due to the blind spots our cars inherently have. But when you do make sure to roll down your windows and have this blasting on the radio...

I like to park on a slant and take up two spots like a REAL d1ck

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.

It's safer and also with my rear back-up camera, there is no guessing how close you are to scraping your front bumper

Yup, I've ridden up on that chin spoiler a few too many times, hence the decision to no longer pull straight in.

Oh I loled. This is where being short plays into my hand. To me the front always seems closer than it is to the curb. I foresee very little problems with me scraping the front.

As far as backing in, kudos to you guys who can do it. My gigantic spoiler makes it near impossible for me to attempt. Plus I like looking at her rear more anyways
