I can reverse any car.. moving at 15 mph.. into a spot where u have less than a foot on each side to make it..

damn vallet at chirstmas time... aye..

hahaha

so yes

 

Ummm...driving in reverse or "backing up" is a skill that should be mastered before you are trying to learn on this car or any car for that matter.

 

damn i was even born yet

 

I reverse parked when I was 8 years old, at around 45 mph in a blizzard

 

I have revese-parked for years; it's just an old habit. My current driveway's entrance is about 8 feet to the left of the garage, and the driveway is at a steep incline, so you have to turn to the left at entrance and cut sharply right a few feet from the garage door while climbing backwards to straighten up and land in just the right spot; kinda comical to an observer. Try that at night!

In my case it makes exiting the garage a lot easier as a straight reverse would hit our fire hydrant squarely in the mid of the rear bumper.

Just keep practicing. Habits, once formed, are there for life.

 

Its not that hard, I work at a car shop and we reverse park all the time, plus we do it in tight spaces, anything from a small miata to a huge F-350, you get use to it

 

let the clutch go slow but not all the way.. its simple. when i got learned with my z the only thing i was good at was reversing haha.

 

ive been driving a manual since july 2006 (when I got my Z), thats only 6-7 months as well, and ive been reverse parking for as long as i remember with my Z..lol

 

wow unbelievable...i wasnt expecting to get flamed on this one, didnt even think it was bad...thanks though to those that explained something...but wow

(and of course i know this post will be flamed as well---as thats what happens when the OP that was flamed to begin with gives an answer)...*sigh* oh well

 

eh u get flamed on most things u say here. everybodies a comedian here

 

For those that are having trouble parking in reverse, may I suggest buying the little antennae like curb feelers for the fenders, a rear camera to monitor have much space is left in back, and for other's safety, one of those big vehicle alarms that beep when you put your tranny in reverse. The good news is practice will make it seem second nature. I thank God you don't have to deal with a trailer.

 

Try a 30ft LVS with a 40ft trailer on the back. That's 4 drive axles, a hydraulically actuated joint, AND THEN a 40ft gooseneck trailer. Oh yeah, and you have to park it with all 7 axles lined up between cones that are perfectly straight, 6 inches from the tires.

oorah Motor-T. I never had to drive that truck after MOS school though. Just hummvees. Rally corners in a hummer. That's fun.
