Only when I'm driving a police car.
But seriously, backing in you need to be careful no to go too deep and hit your oil pan or tail pipes if you are lowered.

At Koi in LA, the other pic was in my cabana room at the Roosevelt.
I need to organize my pics from my laptop. I want to have more 911 related stuff which I have none of with my chicas. Summertime. It's just too damn cold here.

It takes less maneuvering space to back in.
Just like when you parrallel park... you can fit in much shorter spots if you back in first.

Some of us(Phil) have hibernation spots instead of parking spots.

It's Spring and I've been driving it! Going to next Saturday's PA Spring Fling - won't park it of course, but will drive it!

You will park it three times... once at the start, once at the mid-point and once at the end. I'll be checking your technique.
I just got back from doing a dry run of the drive - boy was that fun! (well, with the exception of my toddler throwing up in the car twice.

I always back in - even when I park in my garage. It makes for a quick escape!

In some places, like the seaside town near where I live, it is illegal to back into a spot. Of course they don't have a lot of signs up to warn the tourists. I got caught once years ago. It would be interesting to know how much money they rake in on this little scam.
