How Do You Park? (Self-Explanatory)

Never thought of this. As an added benefit your headlight lenses may also be less prone to yellowing.

 

Come to a stop. Apply parking brake. Shift to Park. Gtfo.

 

We were in the wifes venza... Back in...TWO spots. Yep, I'm "That Guy". HAHA, I do it with the Taco as well. She hates it.

 

You must be impotent!

 

"impotent" or "important"
Neither actually, just don't like my shit banged up by morons that have no consideration for other ppl's stuff.

 

No one does. I know I don't but I don't take two spaces because of it. And I sure as shit wouldn't park next to a cart return like that either-that's just asking for it.

 

irony

 

yet you have no consideration for other peoples parking spots.

how elitist of you.

I see a keying in your future. and btw, you should listen to your wife...her hate for your parking habits echo the general population.

have a good day!

 

I am more worried about finding a curb parking spot to squeeze as far away as possible from the door dingers that hunt the lots......

 

Old transmission guy at work once told me this, don't know if it hold any truth to it at all, but I know the guy is legend at work, but he said for your slanted driveway, back in, engage ebrake fully then put into park. Been doing it ever since.

 

Generally back in (or pull straight through if available). Much easier to back in than pull in. Plus I'm used to it since we're required to back in/pull through at work. We have this whole "first move forward policy".

 

I have always done this. I put the trans in neutral, engage the parking brake, left off the foot brake, then put the trans in park.

It actually is good practice to also do a similar procedure when shifting into Reverse or Drive from any gear. For example, I will back down my driveway, come to a stop, put the trans in neutral, let off the foot brake, let the truck roll a couple inches, then put the trans in drive and be on my way.

If you do this, you'll notice that the truck doesn't lurch or jump as much when shifting into reverse or drive.

 

If it is a tight parking lot ( minimal space to maneuver), I'll back in. It just seems easier that way and if it's crowded I'll back in. If it's not crowded or a bigger area I'll usually just park front first.

 

depends on the spot and/or mood

i can pull in with ease or i can back in with ease. doesn't matter.

 

but i don't have park

 

Well if you dont know what to do in a manual in this case then you shouldnt be driving one

 

I park by putting the truck perpendicular in as many spots as i can, putting it in park, and leaving it.

 

I find it easier to back in with the back up cam...

 

X2! it freaks out my friends (those who have not seen it) when it comes up in the rear view.

 

My sister likes to hide and jump in front of back up cameras as soon as people put it in reverse, scaring the poopers out of the driver.
