    I always back into parking spaces, garage, etc. Don't know exactly why but thought I would ask and see how many others did the same.

    Explain to me how to delete it, and I sure will pull it down! I looked and searched for one. I guess I spend too much time out driving my Tacoma than on the website...but thanks for your help.

    It's just an infraction, not a sin. Don't bring religion into it.

    Yes, most big companies that have company vehicles require you to backnto a parking spot. Less insurance claims statistically. It is much easier to look into the parking spot as you pull up and then back in than to back out blind.

    This thread has not been deleted yet? ;)

    So I have to always do it or never? If a space feels tight, i'll back in. If there's plenty of room I'll pull in forward. So I do both.
