Parking!?
Okay so I am getting my 2013 2LT/RS CRT Camaro sometimes next week and there is one thing that I am worried about when I get it. And that one thing is something that I am so good at in my truck- PARKING! I know the visibility of the camaro makes it hard to see the dimensions of the car, so when parking, what is the best way to do it? Backing in using the backup camera as an aid? (this would also prevent the worry of scraping front end on a parking curb) Is it as hard as it seems? All info would be greatly appreciated! I will put a poll up too, asking if you guys pull in forward or backwards.

I dont think twice about it. I do both depending on the angle and the spot.

I always back into spaces. I don't need a backup camera too. The side mirrors tell you everything you need to know.

Find the most secluded part of the parking lot and park there. Usually back up but when I do pull in I usually end up stopping like a foot away from the curb.

Back in - my last car had the back up camera and I used it all the time, but I quickly adapted to using my side mirrors. After a few days it won't even feel like there is no visability out the back

Forward and far from others. Sometimes in the disabled spot if it is away from others doors, like a van accessible spot.

Depends on how I'm feeling. I'm lowered aaaaaand have a lip so it will totally smash the front up if I pull to far forward. Sometimes I use the reflection of the car next to me to see how far forward I am. But most of the time I back in.

Out of habit, I back in. Your life might depend on it someday.
