Default Someone close this debate please

A friend and I were discussing the matter of parking a car in a spot using a rear wheel drive car compared to a front wheel drive car.

Is there any difference?

Say you're driving through a parking lot and find a spot to go into wal-mart or something, and you have to make basically a 90 degree turn into it. I was originally thinking that it was different for rear wheel cars because you have to pull in with your front two and really try to line up the back two with the fronts. But when I think about it, you probably do the same with front. My friend said that if you were to put white paint on the tires that both cars would leave the same trail of paint (assuming its the same car with both front wheel drive and then rear wheel drive).

Input?

Whether its pushing or pulling, there's no difference in where the wheels go. Your friend is right.

Maybe you guys need a hobby or some girls to take up more of your time.

Don't be an e-tool. If you can't take a ribbing, you shouldn't be on here.

BTW, I'll give your advice to the ten people that were at our house last night.

Welcome to my ignore list.
