    I don't park in the garage but I always back in my driveway. All three vehicles are backed in. It took a while to get the girlfriend to back her car in though. It's just so much easier to pull out and go. Gigitty. Back when I was living in an apartment, my two room mates and I always backed in. We called it tactical parking. SHTF ready I guess. Lol

    When there was room in the garage for my truck, I backed in. Now I back it in to the driveway. Wife pulls in so you can open the lift gate on the flex.

    I figure that in the morning I am not as awake, therefor it is safer for my to back in when I am already in the driving mindset and then I can just pull straight out, gigitty!

    I didn't think about it as much but I should probably back it into the driveway. Chipskip's response makes sense. In the mornings when i leave for work i'm not as awake. We have a lot of kids on the block & they are not always easy to see when you back up. You never know. It would be safer to back in.
