N0HBDY 1,161 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Ok how about this, driving down the street with parallel parking, there's a mild amount of traffic so if you are parallel parking you're gonna hold a few cars up. Are you parallel parking or finding somewhere else?

Commissioner Beketov 9,265 Posted July 12, 2023 Commissioner Share Posted July 12, 2023 Depends where I am. The charging port on my car is on the rear so if I’m at a charger or need to plug in at home obviously I back in but otherwise (or if I’m using the other car) I don’t bother.

JardyB10 4,869 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 My work truck has a backup camera, so I can very easily see what’s immediately behind me. Not to mention there’s even lines on the screen that roughly guide where you’re going. Conversely, it’s kind of hard to judge exactly how much space is in front of me because the hood/nose of the vehicle blocks my vision. THEREFORE, it is easier to back into parking spots, unless there’s lots of space. In other words, it’s easier to make that ass up into tight spaces and then later pull out when you’re finished. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fucking MORON! Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/138072-lets-start-a-fight-in-the-comments/#findComment-991152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JardyB10 4,869 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I suppose if you’re in a car without a backup camera though, it’s a wash and parking is hard again.

Expand So I actually selected all three non-“absolutely not” options. Sometimes I just feel like it and sometimes I have a real reason. But most of the time in a parking lot I just go in forwards. However weirdly enough I always back in at my apartment. fishy 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/138072-lets-start-a-fight-in-the-comments/#findComment-991163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
