More importantly, why drive around with your windows down when it is 95+ outside instead of using the car AC? I am talking a new car that obviously has AC.
Guilty of this

Nope, I still back in. I drive a truck, so it's going to take me longer to pull in forward than backwards in a tight parking lot.

Why?

The one that I never understand is when people pull in front ways and park even when the spot ahead of them is free.
Not sure if I explained that right.
I'm talking about the double row parking lots where two spots are facing each other. I see people all the time pull forward into a spot and park instead of pulling on through to the other spot. Why would anyone do that?

Right, but it defies logic. If it's quicker for you to back in (somehow, which escapes me), then it's going to take you longer to exit the spot. So what you're saying is that you prefer to spend more time on the exit than on the entry?

It's physically impossible for it to be "harder to drive into a spot than it is to drive out of it". Because if your car can make the turn coming out of a spot you backed into, it can make the turn going into it.
Somebody has obviously never driven a truck or large vehicle before.

Always back in. It's safer in almost every way

I always back into a parking spot. Makes it easier to leave when it's time to go.
Posted on 7/7/16 at 4:09 pm to CidCock
It is an assclown move.

Help me explain how your truck, which allegedly is not able to turn into a parking spot without having to adjust, is somehow able to turn out of that same parking spot with no problem? The turning radius of your truck doesn't magically get smaller when you're pulling out of a parking spot.

So you're saying that you then need to stop and back up a bit to clear other cars when you're coming out of a spot? That's more shifting/adjusting than people who pull in and then later just back out.
Also, I'm failing to understand how backing up is safer than pulling in forward. If thats the case, we should all be driving our cars around in reverse.

My point, via a visual. So again, backing into a parking spot does not save time, and if you can pull out of the spot just fine, you can turn into just fine as well.
