Well, one thing I do differently now is that I back in everything that I drive.
Whether it's a motorcycle, bicycle, or a pickup, that's the way I do it.
Hell, when I see most of the cars in a parking lot while cycling through to the bike rack, I'm chewing most of these people out like the drivers that pull in at a truckstop, as opposed to backing it in.
I don't know, I just see backing-in as an "elite-skill" for some, odd reason.

I laugh at the wannabe truckers who attempt to back their pickups into spaces while turning around to look out the rear window. They always end up crooked as doo-doo and usually over a line and that's after at least 1 pull-up. Good drivers can use their side mirrors only, be straight within the lines and without using a pull-up. 8)

It's an elite skill that nearly all non truckers don't have but they sure think they do. It's that dang, "Hey look at me, I'm cool." Your also crooked and over the lines dude.

I've gotten pretty good at floatin' the gears in my wife's civic -- so good in fact that I've just about completely blocked out the grinding kaChunk noise I hear. :lol:

Yeah - I've gotten darn good at floating the gears on my Lincoln.. oh.. wait.. it's an automatic, and I can't even do a good downshift in a truck yet.

But there IS as damn dent in the firewall where the clutch pedal would be
