The steer axle is in the FRONT when you're pulling out of the spot forward so you'd still have the difficulty you thought you avoided when backing in. Unless you can change which wheels turn from front to back with the flip of a switch.

Also, not sure how you can argue that its easier to back out than pull straight forward when exiting a spot.
Because if your truck (allegedly) could not just turn in because it's so big then it will not be able to just turn out. You'll have to pull forward, back up at least once, and then cut it again.

With large trucks, its often the only way possible to park them.
If it is only possible to get into a spot by backing in, then it would be impossible to get out because you'd be driving out of it and would have to make the "impossible" maneuver leaving.
You do realize you're making the exact same maneuvers every time you park, right? One time backing and one time driving forward, or conversely one time pulling forward and one time backing? :lol:

How is it easier to back in to a constrained space as opposed to backing in to a larger space?
The point I've been making as well. Backing into the row is easier than backing into the spot 100% of the time.

If you had a real truck it would be too long to pull up
You're going to have to do your adjustment coming out then because your truck that was too long to turn straight in is also going to be too long to turn straight out.
You're just choosing to make the "backing" portion of the parking experience more difficult. Because 100% of the time it's easier to back into the row than it is to back into the spot.
And no, it doesn't look cool and no, no one is talking about how awesome your truck is because it's backed in.

No it's not. Every time you park you're pulling in forward one time and backward one time. The difference is if you pull in the spot forward you're going to be backing out into a wider and longer area (the row). If you back into the spot, you're backing into a much tighter spot that is also much shorter with lines you need to end up between.
I'd welcome anyone to do a test and see who can get into and out of a spot easier and more quickly. I pull in forward, you back in (cuz truck!) and we'll see who wastes less time and parks better. We can do it at Sonic.

How about just not backing into spots?
Because it doesn't look as cool and takes about twice as long, especially when there are no other cars on either side and you could pull in forward in about 1 second. And the fun thing here...it looks like he's too far over in the spot so probably on top of the yellow line on the other side :lol:

it's allegedly safer.
How so? Most cars have backup cameras so you can easily see what's coming in either direction, and many cars have cross traffic alerts if someone is coming.

wait until you turn 45 and it's covered and go get one, and if you experience issues before then go get checked out.

Just curious, Can you not use cologuard after a certain age? Why doesn't everybody do it ?
Because it's good but not as effective at detecting precancerous polyps:
Studies show Cologuard is roughly 42% effective at detecting high-risk precancerous lesions, while it is about 92% effective at detecting actual colorectal cancer.
And if it detects one of those high risk lesions you get to have a colonoscopy anyway.

Do they recommend everyone get a colonoscopy even if under 45 and no history?
You can certainly pay for it out of pocket if you want to before 45 (I believe mine would've been about $13k) but you're almost certainly fine waiting until then when insurance will cover it.

So how is it ok/legal for an actual company to get paid to go and kill other people? Countries can "legally" go to war and their soldiers not be held accountable for those actions unless they commit war crimes, but a private company going around and blowing shite up and killing people is not that.

I wouldn't go that far. If one of the families fingerprints was in a spot of her blood or their blood was mixed in with hers I would say DNA is incredibly relevant.
