Out of curiousity, how do you leave your car parked overnight?
I'm pretty anal about having my car in a covered area, so I always park my car underground, or covered while at malls and stuff, and I park my car as close as I can to the house, cause during the winter months I would wake up to find my car completely frosted up if I didn't do so.
Is your car parked :
On the street?
On the driveway?
In a gated and covered area (Like townhouses and apartments)
In the garage?
On the driveway but under a car tent thing?

Driveway or street.
Use to park under a car port, but i had the roof blow off once and a brick fell and broke my windshield.

UV rays, tree sap, flying debris, rain, etc....
Of course it's better to park in a garage or covered area but the reality is, not everyone has that luxury.

you're pretty much leaving your car out to the elements
hence why so many exotics are garaged

What does UV Rays do to the car in the long run?
All I know is that cars are a lot better parked in a garage or covered area, so I always try to do that, but I don't understand the effects of parking if non covered and exposed to rain and etc?

first the "What is your car?" thread, now "How is it parked?" thread, whats next, "Where do you live, what time do you go to sleep, and where do you leave your keys in your house?"
Well I park my car outside of my house on the street.

Usually in a garage but most of the time its infront of the garage.
I hate parking on streets, the car seems so much more succeptable to damage/vandalism.

So... you have the option of parking it in the garage but you choose not to?

one i park in the garage (thankfully), the other stays on the driveway.
obviously i'd like to have both inside the garage but it's just not possible :(

Depends. I live at home still so if my dad gets home first he parks in garage, or if i need to go out later, i park on the street so my car doesnt get blocked in.
In a perfect world a 4 car garage would be best because then there is no compromise but that aint going to happen.
Garage. I had to park her on the front driveway for a week while the garage was full. I felt like I needed to apologize and tell her she'll have her room back soon!

I park on a street (infront of my house when possible) of medium traffic flow and fucking hate it cuz the car gets dirty so easily; due to natural causes and inconsiderate fucks (someone once threw a partially-eaten fudgesicle onto the hood :mad:) Trying to convince my family to rid of some of the junk in the garages to clear up room for cars and to convert a part of the backyard into a driveway.

Can you stop making these stupid threads?
It's an open invitation to Car Jackers to find your shit and steal it.
You made a "What car do you drive" thread.
And now you're making a "Where do you park" Thread.
Seriously?
Not accusing you of being a thief at all, but any thief could look at these 2 threads, put 1+1 together, and steal your shit. Could a mod close both of these threads? (this and the one in the spotted forum)

Cause hchang is a post whore. Just look at his 24.28 posts per day, join date Feb 2, 2010 with 2188 posts.
I park on kerr st by killarney secondary. My car is unattended from 1am - 8am as I am sleeping at that time. No alarm installed, but a fake blinking red light. So my car is a victim of the elements, and possible theft.

No garage, so it's on the street. Apart from rain & dust, moss tend to grow in hard to get to areas

I used to have to park my car like a block away in the streets from cuz I used to be forbidden to drive a manual car. But after a few overnighters, I proved to my dad that I can just as safe with stick and so I was allowed to buy a new car and park it in front of the house.

rain will wash off wax/coating faster? especially in areas with more acidic rain.
uv ray will dmaage the paint.
debris, maybe a car is doing a flyby near ur car and rocks shooting out.
i heard its a pita to remove tree sap
acidic bird shit will eat ur paint.
vulnerable to vandalism
maybe bugs will crawl in to the car lol
garage for me

Out of a 2002 Volvo XC, a 1996 Plymouth Voyager, and a 1982 Volvo 242. The 242 (my car) gets the carport. I usually leave it unlocked cuz we leave in a nice neighbourhood. The boat gets the other half of the carport.

Lol chill.
If a thief puts one and one together, what are they going to know?
That your car is either parked on a driveway, garage or street?
And what car you drive?
Your neighbour knows more, and they could as well very easily steal your car, if they wanted.
Most people post up pics of their cars anyways, either in Members Journal or Individual Brand Forums, I'm just putting all into one thread.
Nobodys putting a gun to your head to post on either threads.
Thanks.

park on the street .. no room in the garage :(
i live in an apartment located by royal oak, exact adress is 5211 grimmer street. Its a fairly new building on the corner between royal oak and kingsway. There are two parking levels, 1: underground with 2 gates, and 2: upper level where anyone can enter in or out.
I cant afford an underground parking spot due to the cost of rent so i park in the upper level.
i drive a noticable silver car with no alarm, no wheel lock, no nothing. I have no wheel lug locks or anything but i do have some pretty sexy rims. I sleep around 12 every weekday til 7 cause i have to go to school.
I usualy masterbate with extremely loud porn 30mins before i sleep. I've alrdy had a couple notice about being too loud after 10.
