Parking Angle - What's Right?
Discussion
Gearing myself up for a replacement car next year and it's going to be a 996/997 depending on final funds. However, my question relates to parking it and I don't mean the sensors options - which I will be looking for.
My drive has a gradient of about 30 degrees down. The hatchback I'm driving now is parked front first, mainly for traction getting out when it's wet - it's not stupid slippy but can spin a little bit if it's wet & cold. When I get the 996/997, what would be the best way round to park it?
Whichever way round it is I don't think I'll have the same issue with traction but what about the fluids in the car? Would back end down cause the oil to settle in the wrong place or seep into the cylinders? Will there be any long term issues with starting and moving the car like this? The drive is only 7 or 8 metres to the road.
I have no idea but I don't want to ruin it by parking it, how rubbish would that be!
