I once heard “to keep your tailgate from being stolen” but that seems like it’d be a rare case.

    Because you have more control and visibility both when you get in and get out.

      Actually having to sit and watch these morons attempt to back in in the first place says otherwise.

          People back out into wide open thoroughfare far more easily and quickly than their shitty backing in between two vehicles.

          I wait longer for back-in’s every time than I do for back-out’s.

          I can and have parallel parked a giant van on a busy downtown LA road very quickly. I passed my original driving test in one of the largest SUVs on the market at that time (my parents were idiotically obsessed with large vehicles. I’ve driven some of the largest rental box vans. I have zero crashes on my record. I also know how to drive a manual and have changed timing belts and do my own oil and who fucking cares cause I know you don’t.

          Not projection. Fuck people who back in. Especially when they suck at it. Especially especially when they suck at it in a pointlessly oversized vehicle.
