1. it's easier to back into a spot than it is to drive forward.

1.it is easier to pull into a spot normally. you just pull in.
2.your trunk is accessible
3.accidents don't happen when you back out if you are LOOKING.
4.this is nothing like parallel parking in which you back in the spot because your FRONT wheels are steering.

i had respect for 2p2r's until this thread. i've been in parking lots where i've parked, gotten my coke, and left all in the time some tewl is trying to back into a spot.
