    Same here. My truck might not be pretty, but I park far away whenever I can to prevent idiots from opening their doors into my truck or backing into it. So I just pull in forwards, because that far out, it doesn't really matter.

    :laugh: You just made my day.

    Aim for an empty space in my mirror, throw it in reverse. Close my eyes and pop the clutch. When I hear a bump I turn off the engine.

    Meet the craziest people that way.

    I offer winos a bottle of Maddog 20/20 to shit on the hoods of cars like yours. And not just any shit, but like a peanut and corn infested runny shit, so it gets down into your cowl area and permeates your interior too.

    Must be a west coast/east coast thing. Years ago a bottle of Thunderbird used to do the trick, I've had to step up my game.

    I voted for both but usually I just pull in. I don't mind exposing my rear... end

    But I usually park far away from people, mainly because people are idiots. Getting sliders on soon and I won't be worried if I do have to park between cars.

    I back in whenever possible. Coworkers and gf give me a hard time over it, but I think they're just jealous of the mad skillz it takes.

    does turning tires to black wall out count? How bout added snug top rebel.
    Always back in! In every vehicle I drive, car or truck. In any parking lot. The only place I pull front in is in the garage at home, because I don't want to have the exhaust right next to the door that goes into the house when I start up.

    I always back in. I always say it comes from my street racing days, because when the cops get there you wanna GO! GO! GO! Some things you just never let go of.

    AND...I always park at the back of the lot.

    Reason #1) Less door dings!

    Reason #2) I don't have to pay for a gym membership.:cool:

    It depends on the situation, i try to park in the back of the lot facing away from the sun or if thats not possible take a end spot and hug the curb or edge thus giving the jerk that parks next to me a little more space, I also trying to face away from the sun.

    Got my first door ding/ dent from some prick last week! Dammit!!!
