    It isnt that hard to do. Watch the back end with your right mirror when your over the hole. Slight turn of the wheel to the left and you are now straight. Just ease it back on your golden.

    Right? And the worse part is when the parking lot is designed no matter which way u go it seems ur always going the wrong way.. Take the ta in troutdale for example , they put half the spots one way and half the spots the other way, but if u follow the lot from the fuel island , once u make the first turn ur now facing the wrong way to find a spot, the petro in el paso messes with me too... i sometimes wonder who designs these lots

    I’ve got no issues blindsiding. I like it. I also like watching the fear in other people when they realize they’re going to have to blindside.

    My question was why do TS always lay out angled parking as predominantly blindside.

    If you blindside in to a angled spot you typically pull out and to the right when leaving so now you can see what is coming when leaving. If they set it up the other way you would be pulling out and left therefore leaving your blindside open to traffic coming thru the lot. Just flinging #### at the wall here to see if any sticks lol, it's the only upside I could think of.

    That was a well reasoned response. It shows forethought on the case of the TS.

    No way that can be right. :D

    I’m trying to figure out how blindside spots make TS more money. Ideas?
