Ah, smartcars bring back fond memories of traveling in Italy. Like the time I saw two cars parallel parked on a street. They'd left too much space between themselves, so a smart car backed in between them. Then again, that's just how the Italians roll.

Clearly the solution is for everyone to just drive Smartcars... if you still can't park, you can practically push them into the space.

Hahahaha, that reminded me of high school when I owned an early honda civic. While i was off running track, my rides and otheers would pick up my car and move it around the parking lot. Good times.

The number of times I have been involved in tipping, relocating, or placing compact cars between trees is beyond me. Being friends with lineman from the football team was great fun in high school. Those fat bastards could squat-lift almost anything 2 feet off the ground.

Maybe we just need something like this:

(I think there was a G.I.Joe/Cobra vehicle that looked like this but with a giant sawblade wheel? my google-fu is failing me here)

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

I don't really care if someone backs in as long as they are quick, quick meaning not impeding others. Some people can do it super fast and accurately, props to them. Those who have no clue how to do it, while holding up others in a parking lot can fuck off though.

I don't back in myself.

1-Holding up traffic in a parking lot while you do auto gymnastics.
2-You might suck at auto gymnastics and hit someones car. People car barely drive forward with any sort of competence.
3-Speaking of driving forward with competence, retards will forget about cars next to them and turn too soon on the way out and side swipe their neighbors.

Btw, I just backed into a spot in front of my house. Quiet, plenty of room, keeps the nasty pine needles, dust and sap off my windshield. Pine trees suck btw.

I was assuming basic driving competence.

Honestly, I take a longer time trying to pull in forward than I do backing in or parallel parking. I park faster/straight as a fucking arrow when I back in since I have the use of my mirrors. My brain is just wired all funky. I'm probably safer to the world backing in since I'm no longer half stupid.

Me too. I won't say I never make a mistake, but I have never damaged another car. Well, I have, but not when parking.

Parking a car backwards can be less hassle due to steering the following wheels one can go into tighter spaces with single maneuver.
For this to work as intended one needs a male brain (many girls have it) and experience with their car's dimensional perception.

I do it a lot, so call me a  poo hole. I can get faster out from the parking lot too.

And my bottom line is that, if you drive in forward, you have to back out and backing out is much much harder than backing in, because you have passing traffic to miss.

Call me a spineless Arsehole! But... please... with the British spelling  :)p2
