    this was my favourite 'like a glove' scene lol. Love this guy ever since i first heard of him, and a plus was I used to go by the street he grew up on everytime i'd go to the island. (a reserve)

    I ALWAYS back in when I park, even if there's a sign that tells me not to >:D

    Me too. Makes for a quicker escape :D And also, it makes more sense to have the pivoting point (rear wheels) the furthest in.

    Plus on a front wheel drive the point the force is being applied to is further out.


    "How do you park your car?" In a space


    I only have a little front drive hatch, it is perfectly happy to go nose into a bay without effort although I prefer to go rear in as leaving a bay in one forwards move with full visibility is somewhat more appealing than using your mirrors and having other cars in the way as you back out. I honestly find backing into a bay easier than backing out, although I should say that neither is difficult, you have mirrors...

    Parallel parking I tend to avoid. I am not quite youtube bad at it but I really don't like parallel parking :p While working as a pizza delivery driver on more than one occasion I kinda just left the car in the street while I went to drop off the pizza :p

    What country do you live in where they post signs that prohibit backing into parking spaces?

    Same when I park at home, due to the angle of the parking spot relative to my house/walk route to the busstop... I still can't get enough of the front quarter view of my car.

    Also, This:
