How Do You Park?

This is my first post! I think backing into a parking spot is sexy it's shows you took the time to park. Especially with a hot car! What do y'all think?

I just park on a curb, way out where no one else is. Also, only uphill at a grocery store(not that I ever take cars that I care about to the grocery store) so that baskets don't roll away and smash the car. Never next to a minivan, never on the front row at a strip mall--too much traffic walking by with purses, backpacks, kids,etc.

Don't care if it's backed in or not, not trying to parkin' lot pimp, just don't want my car to be damaged.

I'm picky when it comes to parking spots. I rather not park in spaces where a car is gonna pararrel park and chances are bumping into you. I have seen cars bump into the front of my car which i didnt mind cause it contacts the license plate frame. Bumping into the rear would be a different story. I also park a few inches away from the curb to prevent curb rash on the wheels. Thats where the tilt down mirror comes in handy.

I'm less concerned about the car looking "sexy" and more concerned about parking it away from careless people who don't care about their car or other people's cars.

Backing into a parking space is supposed to be much safer since backing out is more dangerous (kids, pedestrians, other cars).

The danger of backing in is that sometimes there are pipes, walls, and so forth that you must watch out for.

I usually back into parking spaces. I think it shows more intelligence and forethought. With my new M45 though I'm parking on corners and farther away if needed. I don't mind the walk. I hate inconsiderate aholes who open their doors and ding your car.

I actually back into spots on the street, by that I mean instead of just pulling to the curb, I pulled past where I want to park and use the backup camera and rear view mirrors that tilt down in reverse, to ensure I don't scuff a wheel, I know, sounds dumb, but Ive certainly screwed up enough wheels to know its a good idea for me lol

Ditto. Apparently I didn't realize how sexy I was being..?

I find that the M35 has very bad blind spots and curb visibility. My solution was to install convex mirror discs on the side mirrors. Works great, but takes a little time getting used to.

After getting the car washed today I've noticed a little contact spot on the rear bumper right in the middle. At first I thought it was a black mark that can easily come off by rubbing on it but then it wouldnt come off. I was pretty mad at that moment considering people out there who dont care about their cars bump into others making them upset.
