Are you sure it is the PS??? And not the motherboard?

You know what's been bugging me lately? People who back into parking spaces. I mean you're backing into a tiny area and pulling out into a huge open area. Nobody is as good at backing as they are going forward-- except Mater the tow truck. I could see it if you were driving an ambulance, or a firetruck, or were Batman. But otherwise, just park normally!

I back in whenever I can. I actually feel like I have a great deal of control when backing in and do not have to wonder/worry about kids, animals, height challenged people when I am pulling out.

I pull through when I can, so I can avoid backing at all.

Backing in is better, you can park in smaller spaces and/or where the road on which the parking space lies is narrower, and you can see what you're doing when you're leaving.

Mater! I loved that movie!

I agree, I much prefer pulling into a spot.

Yes, I'm 100% sure. First, the PS was smelling burnt, there were burn marks too.

First, most of the times, the space in front of the parking space is just 2 car widths wide (if even that!). Second, it's easier to drive out of a spot the normal way, rather than backing out of one. And most of the time, I'd rather go home faster than go to my work faster Having a smaller car helps too.

Yes yes! These are some of the reasons I back into spaces. If there is someone behind me, waiting, I get out of the way as soon as possible.

MY VENT:

WHY does my 5yo act like a 17yo with a major attitude??? I was the "good" girl, my sister was the difficult one. WHY do I have HER child????
