    I always back in. I really don't know how to park nose first. I can never line it up properly. lol

    and plus when you back in and there is an emergency with a ton of cars that dont want to let you out, you can nudge your way out. lol

    In the truck, I usually back in... The backup camera helps get in nice and close in parking garages. I also don't go for the close spots... Unless its Pornstar parking and the more rare Pullthrough Porn Star parking... Then I take'm.

    .
    For some odd reason my Tacoma likes parking on top of Prius's, it will park on top of other cars but seems to really prefer Prius's, IDK if they are softer and cushier or that my gas-guzzling truck loves bitch-slapping it's pussy-ass cousins. Weird for sure.

    Always have backed in with a truck. It's just easier than swinging wide to pull in straight.

    Depends on the parking lot and what i feel like doing. At work backed in 99% of the time due to a very small lot. Gotta love the backup camera.
