Default how do you park?

just a quick, pointless question. do you park your truck(in a parking space) with the nose in or out?(does it face the inside of the space or twords the street/road you came from?)

It depends more on the situation. Usually, if I am at a major store where parking lots can be tough, I try to back in (nose out). But, if its an easy one I will just swing in and put the nose in.

however, it does depend on the situation

I try and park as far away from anyone possible. If not possible to park away from people, I try and find a space at the end near a landscaping spot so if I do have to park next to someone, my truck is only exposed to one car. Even when I do park way far away, there is always some *** who parks their Mustang next to me. Give it up buddy, it won't look as good as my truck

Is there a point to this question? Or are you really that bored to ask which way people park? Did'nt they teach you anything in drivers ed?[sm=chairshot.gif]

I typically park facing out as much as possible, as I hate having to back out and worry about not being able to see people.

If I go to the mall or a crowded parking area, I will park as far as away as possible, and have been known to park across 2 or 3 parking spaces to insure people stayed away from my truck/now my car. I've gotten a few tickets

It all depends on the situation. At home I just pull in straight, but at a crowded parking lot or one with narrow isles, I almost always back in.

a friend of mine manages a QT gas station here in Georgia and told me that most people who back into the spots at his store are doing so because their tag is expired...

and it's true...start looking at people's license plates that back into spots....several are always expired

I try to back in as much as possible or park somewhere where I don't have to back out. Situation dictates though, and at home I don't have the luxury of either with my garage being used to store things and 4 cars at the house, my truck is just too long to park in the driveway behind anyone's car and I have to park on the street.
