Yeah, yeah Friday music, no one cares. It is bumped down. I have better, more exciting news. A new donut emporium just opened in the strip mall over on the other side of the highway. The donuts are light and airy and soft and sweet and I want to eat several every day for every meal and get your hands outta that box they are mine, precious...
New people have moved in next door. So far they seem nice. I am somewhat concerned they are planning nefarious activities though. Other than needing a quick escape in the event of a SWAT raid, or sudden early morning attack from rogue Apaches, why would it be necessary to back your mini vans into the driveway? Maybe they are superheroes, poised to save suburbia from rogue student athletes selling discount shopping cards good at local businesses in order to help pay for new football equipment or volleyball knee pads. I don't know. Perhaps they need to get to the donut shop post haste and do not wish to be slowed by all of that tedious backing all the way down their one-car length driveway.
For that matter, what is up with the recent trend of backing into parking places? Back in, back out, you still have to drive in reverse. Assholes driving the wrong way down the aisles in parking lots so they can back in the open space are just a step above left lane lallygaggers in the hierarchy of jerk drivers. What is the point?

It's called combat parking, might be ex military. Then again it might help get a few seconds head start over you to get fresh donuts. The first one gets the fresh ones.

Offer them donuts.
I don't back into parking spots usually, but at work I can back up to a bumper at the berm and know I'm in far enough.
Backing out into a parking aisle is the scariest driving I do.
Backing in to a spot, particularly with my new Taurus with the camera to make up for the limited visibility, is easier than backing out while maintaining peripheral vision.
The camera guides me between cars up to a vehicle bumper easier than pulling up to one.
And the camera is useless backing out.
And if they are moving in, or dropping off groceries, backing up to the door is preferable, eh?

I'm your neighbor.
So you think I'm clear from waywRd Apache arrows?
