Is it Ghetto to back your Z in?

I think its pretentious to back into a spot every time you park. I wouldn't call it ghetto, but it does draw more attention. Personally, I only back in if it's beneficial for me to get out later with less hassle, or at car meets where you want to showcase your car, hence draw attention.

It’s only ghetto when you back in and take up 2 spots.

I have become accustom to backing in due to living in a condo in which a wall blocked my driver side door from opening if I were to park forward. One attempt and done… it actually takes me a couple tries to park forward “just right” and I have been driving for 25 years! Haha!
