I'm not sure about the older ones, but the LP640 doesn't need to be parked the same way as the countache. I don't quite understand why nobody uses the mirrors either. Maybe Vallet parking I can understand sitting on the edge, but if you own the car, part of driving is just knowning where your corners are.

Anyone that owns a nissan 300z, 240z or 240sx will agree to the nose of the car. being 'somewhere' up there. You get to learn and use other cars as reference points.

I can understand this for checking where the front end is, but if you're backing in you should be able to use the side mirrors. Because if you're sitting in the doorway like this, I'd doubt that you can properly see the far back corner now

If you've had the chance to back one up you'd understand. Yes you can use the mirrors to back up a bit but when trying to stop at a curb as to not smoke the lower valance or exhaust you better do it as shown or have a traffic controller at your disposal.
