Here's the scenario: you have a tandem garage which looks like this:

Its set up in such a way that Car A has to drive in first and Car B blocks it in. To get Car A out, you need to first back out Car B.
Which car is in the "front"? Is it Car A, because it goes in first and is therefore in the front of the direction of the cars. Or is it Car B, because it is the first to leave, and therefore it is in front of the garage door?


Edit: it has come to my attention that I have been a bit retarded and not specified what I meant. Which car would be in the front of the garage? Ie: if someone said "I left my hat in the front of the garage" would it be next to car A or car B?

"Front" and "Back" are relative terms.

When driving in, Car A is in front of Car B, because you are coming from behind.

When driving out, the positions are reversed because the position of the observer has changed. Car B is now "in front" of Car A, because the direction is out, instead of in.

The absolute terms here would be "innermost" and "outermost" car.
 
Car is is always in front because it is in the forward position based on the direction of the cars. Backing up does not change this, as backing up is a temporary maneuver that goes against the direction of the car.

“But what if one or both cars backed into the parking space?” you may ask. In that case, car A would still be in front, because backing into a parking space (excluding as part of the process of unloading inanimate cargo) is an aberration that indicates you’re a faggot, and thus goes against the reasonable logic of the car’s position.
 
As others have noted, front is relative to direction on movement. Hypothetically If you own car A and someone else owns car B, the conversion is that you want to get out
"Hey I want to get out, can you move your car it’s parked in front of mine"

So B.

It seems to me like you've had an argument with your wife over this, and now you're looking for opinions on it just for fun.

The answer is purely semantics, relative to a point or to a direction, as they've told you. So it literally can go both ways, depending on what you're considering as the thing that will determine what's "front" or "back".

It's like if we're in space, and you tell me to go "up", up in regards to what? Myself? Yourself? The ship? Another point in the distance? And why is it not "down" then?

So my answer is to agree on the definition, otherwise it's a nonsense question.
