Question Parking Preferences?

This is a rather odd question but I was curious. How do you like to park, nose first or do you like to back in to a parking spot? Reasons?

If im parking for the night i back it in if its in a parking lot nose first and I always take two spots due to the jack offs that don't consider how much damage they can do with there door on mine. and I do get people who squeeze in between me and the other spot well lets just say i might have a small smudge on my paint but its better then there nice etched Jerk on there car. and I park way out back to so its not like im being an *** taking up 2 good spots up front.

I usually back in unless its a really busy parking lot and jack asses are up your butt before you get your truck in reverse. I find it easier to back my truck in than pull in forward.

I always park in the fire lane. Easy in, easy out.

I'm with you on that one, I find it easier to back in than pull in forward too!

i almost always back in as well unless there are two spots next to each other so i can swing it wide. Its just easier that way since its such a long vehicle.

Back in just about always, or just pull through when there are two spots one in front of the other.

back into 2 spots

#1 I like backing into a spot because I can get out of the spot quicker and not have to worry about backing out and somebody hittin me
#2 I like to take 2 spots because I have to many dents and scratches on the truck that I don't remember making.. in my defense I take 2 spots in the back of the parking lot
