Going forward, I have to pull out almost to the point that my body is at the end of their vehicle to be able to see around them, exposing the entire hood of my car. There is no argument you can make that exposing any part of the car without being able to adequately see oncoming vehicles is safer than not having to expose it at all and see those potential vehicles.
Pretty sure the bed of a truck, if backing out, will stick out a lot further than the hood of your car pulling forward.

Ive been doing it multiple times a day almost every day since I was old enough to drive. I am right and you are wrong. Its because of where the center of the turning arc is relative to the parking space and the maneuvering space - that is different depending on what end of the vehicle the steer axle is on. Its just usually not necessary with a car because the turning radius is so much tighter than a long 4x4 truck.
Im not expending any more effort explaining this to you. You're wrong, and supremely confident you aren't, so you wont be convinced.
AI has your back.
"Backing out of a parking spot in a truck typically requires a larger, more complex turning radius than pulling out forward because the steering wheels (front) are usually past the adjacent vehicles before the truck can pivot, often requiring a wider arc to avoid rear-end swing. Conversely, backing into a spot is superior, offering better visibility, tighter maneuvering, and an easier, more direct exit.
Key Differences in Maneuvering:
Backing Out (Forward to Exit): Because the rear wheels are the pivot point when turning while reversing, the front of the truck swings wide. To avoid hitting neighboring cars with the rear bumper, the driver must back straight out until the front wheels clear the adjacent vehicles, requiring more longitudinal space in the aisle.
Pulling Out (Forward to Exit): The front wheels steer the vehicle, allowing for a sharper angle immediately. However, for long-bed or dual-rear-wheel trucks, the rear of the truck may still swing into adjacent spots."
I also prefer to back in because all of my cameras activate and its easier to get straight. Also easier/safer to pull straight out.

it’s easier to get out of a spot when you’re backed in rather than backing out.

No it's not. Every time you park you're pulling in forward one time and backward one time. The difference is if you pull in the spot forward you're going to be backing out into a wider and longer area (the row). If you back into the spot, you're backing into a much tighter spot that is also much shorter with lines you need to end up between.
I'd welcome anyone to do a test and see who can get into and out of a spot easier and more quickly. I pull in forward, you back in (cuz truck!) and we'll see who wastes less time and parks better. We can do it at Sonic.
You quoted him about pulling out when backed in but are arguing about pulling in.
Also, not sure how you can argue that its easier to back out than pull straight forward when exiting a spot.

Hijacking. Thoughts on the opposite below:
School is small and doesn't have enough players to field a JV and Varsity basketball team. Since this is the case, the players that would either make a JV team or no team at all are required to play 1 quarter.
Varsity team is playing other schools' Varsity teams and when players 7-11 come in, are getting severely outmatched. Teams the school is playing have 1 varsity and at least 1 JV team, some 2 or 3 so those varsity teams are much more talented overall.

Also no idea why this lady is buying a $500 bat and $3k plus another 4k for a tournament is insane.
$2k is about right for a tournament team. Includes use of fields for practices (2-3 days a week), entry to 10 tournaments (around 40 games give or take), team balls/gear, insurance, etc... Pretty small price to pay in my opinion. All games are within 30 minutes as well.

Looking at getting my first can. Will be a rimfire and looking at the Sparrow 22 or the Dead Air Mask. Do yall usually buy local or through an online retailer and ship to your FFL?
Think Gyno used to run one on MFL for TD playoffs. Did that myself for a few playoff seasons then switched to RYP. Going to wait till after week18 is complete and see if Splash Sports gives a One & Done option for playoffs. If not, will probably go back to MFL. Just wasn't a fan of the MFL interface

What site/app are yall using for your playoff leagues? We prefer the One & Done format where you set your lineup each week, can only use a player once in the playoffs, and total points after Superbowl wins.
Last couple of years I have been using RunYourPool but now that is Splash Sports. Not currently seeing the format we are looking for in the new app.
