    Maybe there was a spider in the parking spot that he was trying to run over before he parked and got out?

    There was 3 empty spaces, he was trying to back into the middle one. He backed in, pulled forward, backed in, pulled forward, backed in pulled forward, backed in pulled forward, backed in pulled forward, backed in and then drove straight to an empty spot directly in front of the one he was trying to back into that had spots taken on each side of it and parked there and got out.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Since removing my tailgate I've determined it's both easier and safer than using a backup camera.

    If you have a swingout I imagine you aren't using a backup camera.

    I also don't use the back window to back into a parking space... so.......

    I've got a fully functional camera with my swing out. On point proximity lines and all :notsure:

    albeit, i will say it is the lazy man's choice.

    So much change happened in that shopping center by Lucilles. I remember there use to be a bookstore and CVS but I'm glad the Plaza 5 theater is still there.

    That chrome bumper needs to go, chrome and a softtopper just doesn't mix.

    I Plasti dipped mine but vinyl will probably look a lot cleaner if you can go that route. I've learned the hard way that Plasti Dip can look a little...haggard...of you aren't really careful with it, lol.
