first. I'm a pretty good driver though and I have had a lot of practice. I worked as a valet for many years and we always backed into our spots.
I don't know if backing into your spot is for everyone. I don't insist on my wife doing it because a part of our wall on our house is next to the spot where we park our car on the driveway and I don't trust her not to hit it when backing up, especially since we try to get close to it to leave more room on the other side of the driveway.
