is it bad to do this?

leave your car with the wheels turned? like if you turn into a parking spot and leave your wheels anything but straight, can it mess with your alignment?

I don't think so....it's harder on things if you sit there in one spot and turn your wheels

The only thing it will hurt is clean paints if you brush up against it.

Ummm...NO. Do it all the time.

makes it harder to tow if you are backed into a spot with your wheels turned haha

plus, you are supposed to turn your wheels when parallel parked on a hill so that if the car rolls, it will roll into the curb and not out into the road or simply down the hill.

so it wont hurt it at all?

 

[Snikt89GT]

Why would it?

Nope. Considering all the stress you put on your steering and suspension during a normal day of driving, being parked with the wheels turned won't hurt anything.

Yea it wont do anything, on a hill I can understand turning the wheels, but whenever I park and shut the car off, I have to straighten the wheel, its a pet pev, I hate walking out of the place I am and seeing my car parked with the wheels turned, it looks horrible.
