    Maybe it's just a Wisconsin thing. We do some fucky stuff

    Well, at least we can pass people on the right shoulder if they are waiting to make a turn

    I use the pull-through method. and even if I can't get all the way through, that's ok since most likely the car in front of me will be gone by the time I leave. 95% of the cars in the lot are facing front.

    I never back in, but I had the urge to back in after lunch too. Now I feel good and ready to GTFO if I need to.

    When I was working in Alberta the car wash in the local town had a sign that said:

    "Entrance from the rear only"

    or something to that effect....

    I'll have to find the picture when I get home tonight and post it... provided this thread hasn't been locked before then...

    Ran to the grocery story to get something for lunch. I thought about backing up, then realized....nah, that's dumb.
    Came out and watched a truck back in. He took it too wide at first, then had to pull forward. He nailed it on the second try! Nothing beats having to wait for a pickup a) drive past the stall b) put it in reverse c) back up d) fail e) pull forward f) finally get it.

    Those precious seconds saved when pulling out were completely ruined by his failed attempt to back in right the first time. Best part...it was a small pickup. The safety argument is waaaaaay out the door with that display. This guy backed in ONLY because he had a pickup and once you join the pickup club, you better back in! :lol:
