Backing in

Ok weird topic but one that I have to get off my chest.
I back my car into all parking spots.
It's easier for me and it's faster when I want to leave, I get in the car and off I go!

Now, I've been told lately that this is a "guy thing" and only "guys" back their vehicles into their parking spots.
Well, hmmmph as you can tell from the pic, I am NOT a guy! LOL
Some say it's a "control thing"...perhaps.
Some say it's too hard to back into a spot...to those people, I fear how they'd parallel park between two parked cars! LOL
oh wait, they've pretty much done away with parallel parking. haven't they?!

Now, I'm all for backing in...like I said, I can jump in the car, turn the key and off I go.

However, I have two things that totally annoy me about the backing up process.

1) When in a shopping center parking lot and I'm quickly backing into my spot, if a car comes up on me and can clearly see reverse lights and car moving in reverse WHY do they think they can attempt (note the key word attempt) to swoop into the spot I'm backing into?

Reality is this, I can back into a spot in one fail swoop so do not try to zip into the spot, because you'll lose! I'll win and you'll look like a putz for having tried to steal my spot by zipping in front first!

2) If you don't know how to back into a spot... GO PRACTICE! Somewhere! Anywhere! Anywhere that is other than in the shopping center parking lot where you take 7 or 8 attempts and block other traffic in the process.

All that creates is a lot of humor and laughter along with a undertone of annoyance.

It's rather entertaining watching someone though if you have the time to spare:
They pull forward
then slooooooooooooowly start to back up then opppps wrong angle...
start over
pull forward again at new angle
slooooooooooooooowly start to back up
drat almost clipped that car on the left
pull forward again a bit further
and keep doing this til either
a) they give up and go to another parking spot
b) those of us waiting and laughing finally get to you and you give up and go to another parking spot
c) you are brave, you spend another 5 minutes and finally finally get your vehicle parked, but it's at an angle and over the lines..oh well...let the other person figure out how to open their door without hitting your vehicle

Seriously, it's not really that difficult to back into a parking spot and stay between the lines!

If it is, then you really should not be driving...and especially around me.

So, whether a "guy thing", a "control thing" or simply just an experienced driver thing call it what you want, I'll keep backing into my parking space so I can leave effortlessly while you still struggle to get your car backed into a space keeping it between the lines!

Drive a free car!

Whether you're a soccer mom, working dad, college student, busy commuter, a radical snowboarder, sports enthusiast...... or just enjoy driving, you can be on the road to receiving a free car!

Companies want to give you a NEW CAR FREE TO DRIVE or PAY YOU to drive your own car decorated with their company logo or advertisement. That's it!! There is NO CATCH, NO HIDDEN COSTS! You can drive as you normally do and these companies will even pay for the maintenance of the vehicle! You simply cover the cost of fuel and insurance, your sponsor company saves thousands on advertising costs.... It's a complete win-win situation!

Think about it - A company could spend $3000 a month for a small billboard on the side of the road or they can spend a lot less leasing a nice vehicle that drives the same road. A recent study concluded that a single car with an advertising message on it was viewed by over 40,000 people whilst driving around the city for one day. The cost to the advertiser - about $30. Compare that with a similar cost of over $10,000 for one ad in a daily newspaper to reach the same audience. It's not hard to see why they're so eager to find drivers to take their message to the streets.

Drive your brand new free car or drive your own car and get paid! Upon selection, you will be contacted and arrangements will be made for you to pick up your brand new car, or a suitable date and time for your own vehicle to be wrapped.
