I have next to no room in my garage and I scratched my side mirror when trying to park. I'm also looking to buy a new car later in the year and now I'm concerned about where I'm going to park it. I have the option of parking outside or risk parking in the garage (no choice of throwing crap out)..

So I ask you where do you park your car? For those of you that have a "baby" and daily driver - I'm interested in where you park your baby :)


Garage - protected from elements
Outside - open to elements and vandals
Car port - partially protected
Other

I'm concerned about weather effecting the paint. I live in a complex so haven't had any incidents of vandalism..

[1exotic]

if you park it outside get some security camera's setup.
so next time if you see the vandals or theifs (if something were to happen to your car) you can murder them in broad day light.
police will think it was a random murder and you will go unfound.


on a serious note, on a car port/driveway... garage is full of stuff.

[skylinergtr]

my garage is full of crap, but i was fortunate enough to push all the shit aside to make room for my BMW for its winter hibernation.

The Volvo sleeps outside.

1 car in a carport and the other outside. If you are concerned about vandalisms, you should either buy a portable car port or get a professional to build a car port on your driveway.

Whenever it's really cold outside, I'm so glad my car's parked in the garage.

[MG1]

Buy one of those car tents. Mine survived today's wind and whatever weaksauce snow we've had. I bought it for 150 bucks at Costco. I bolted the posts down to concrete. Cold, it doesn't keep out, but rain and dust is kept out. Size is 10 x 20 ft. Has zippered front and a couple of windows that can be rolled up with bug screens behind them.

thats a good idea.

i should look into this for when i store my other vehicle away.

[Jayhall]

I used to park my car on the street. Not much choice at that point in time. But I recently moved to a new place and a garage was the deal breaker for me.

[TheKingdom2000]

Try your grandparents house?
Mine have a two car garage that is pretty much empty.

So if i needed to store my car I could just leave it there.

Got a link to the item? Can't find anything in that price range.

[LuHua]

Inside the garage, but with a nice coat of wax and paint sealant there's not much to worry about exposing it to the elements. That is, unless there's tree branches falling everywhere.

[Nlkko]

Garage for house/Gated private parking for condo. Not much point "babying" if you just leave it outside.

Keep in mind, Costco's online prices is always more expensive on their website as they include
the "shipping and handling" charge. And 89civic probably got it on sale or something.

Try Canadian Tires... Home Depot...etc a lot of places sell them.

[jack3d]

hmm guess ill keep looking

[MG1]

I did buy it on sale. Half price. However, a week or maybe two ago, I saw them again for that price. Not even on sale. Regular price. I think it was the Costco on Brighton <sp?> south of Production Skytrain Station. If not Willingdon location, as those are the only two that I go to.

[Supafly]

Garage her at home....and garage her when I visit my gfs place....only time shes parked outside for extended periods of time is when im getting a massage from our local parlour or Im eating somewhere.

[hotjoint]

I'm lucky to have a garage for my baby :)

[InvisibleSoul]

Most important for me is convenience.

I think I would choose a carport for two main reasons.

1.) It's convenient to drive in and out
2.) It's still covered so won't have to deal with brushing off snow and frost

I'm okay with street parking... just not in the winter.

[MG1]

carports suck when there's cats and the like around.........


Come to think of it, I haven't seen the neighbourhood cat in a long time. Perhaps it got run over or licked up too much of the antifreeze I accidentally left outside. j/k.

[Prolowtone]

My car is outside on my friends lawn, for now and not by choice. I have been working on all my other household vehicles to make room for my car at home to make room for it. Its getting a new motor soon to, picked it up last night. Might get it in the garage today :D

how about this? i saw it awhile back heh

[Bouncing Bettys]

I was keeping my Bug at my parent's garage but they moved out of town so now its in my car port. Unfortunately its situated in the back alley and the high school kids like to hide out in the car port to smoke pot and smash the light bulbs providing light for the carport.

At my old place a few years ago my old roommate's 'baby' was squashed by the car port roof collapsing on it. The lane narrowed right where our car port juts out. This chinese kid who could barely speak english hit the corner of the car port roof with a moving truck he had no business driving.

VR6 was a write off obviously. The landlord ended up putting the same roof back up on toothpicks basically. It leaked like a sieve when it rained. None of us parked our cars under it for any length of time after that.

[jpark]

^holy shit...

[spoon.ek9]

hella flush in the last pic :troll:

but yeah.. OP you should try your best to at least organize the shit in your garage and fit your car in their properly. there's no better protection than a garage for your baby (from the weather anyways).

[maxxxboost]

I feel the same way.

I have garage parking, but for convenience i just park outside.

THen you don't live in East Van or Burnaby......... squadron of crows. Actually, more like the fricken luftwaffe over Britain.

Currently stored in the garage under a cover.

I guess I need to make room in my garage now. Thanks for voting guys.

Bat Cave...........



I voted "other" for car tent, although my daily driver is in a garage (soon to be heated).

[PJ]

I have kind of a gated drive-in to my backyard.. I guess that's sort of a car port?
But usually if I'm lazy I just park it outside..

[maxxxboost]

I do live in the East side.
Less than 3 minute drive from my house to Hastings.
And yes, i hate the crows in the morning!

[Ikkaku]

We have our cars in our gated driveway because my dad used up the 2-car garage to store all his misc. shit, and won't clear it out. Hell, our benz got broken into twice within the last 2 months, and it still hasn't motivated him to move fuck all. All he has done is locked our front gate door. One day I'm gonna call for one of those massive bins and just chuck all his tools and shit out when he retires so I can finally park in garage again.

[impulseX]

i used to park in a garage at home when i was still living in edmonton because my dad insisted my car was more valuable than his van lol.
now that i've moved out here, i park outside because i have no choice

[busdriverman]

it is so much better to have a garage esp in the winter

last year a rat found its way under the hood of my moms 4runner but could not get out. we started noticing a foul smell when the heat was turned on...and guess wat it was...absolutely disgusting. one of the techs at toyota puked when we were getting the rat's corpse removed

someone also broke into my car during the night a few months back, but they did not take a single thing from the car. they just left the manuals and insurance papers all over the passenger seat.

it is also so much warmer to get into your car that has been parked in a garage as opposed to outside. warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer.

[Great68]

The Mustang gets garaged and only comes out on sunny days.

The Mazda sits out in the cold & wet. Oh well that's what winter beaters are all about.

anyone can just bash your windows, and nobody would know

[Super Dipper]

I chose other.

During the late spring/summer months, my car sits either in my garage or on my driveway. As soon as winter makes a debut, i shuttle the car into a secured underground lot at my buddy's condo.

Why? BC im always working on or playing with my buddies cars, and i get tired of moving my car in and out of the garage during the winter, so its more convenient to rent out a spot at the condo.

My neighbour has a gorgeous garage. Nice and big with huge garage door. It has enough room for all kinds of tool cabinets and workbench. I think it has its own fuse panel. A dream garage to work on the car. I was going to approach the neighbour because the garage is empty and not being used. I'd rent it out. Only problem is, the neighbour is an elderly woman. Her husband apparently passed away a few years ago. Kids tell me she's always checking out my ass when I'm out in the garden. Kind of creepy. She'd probably let me use the garage for free............. LOL. Working on the car, bent over, and granny comes up and ass rapes me. Eeeeewwwwwwwww..........

Should start poll............ would you sell yourself to park your baby in the perfect heated garage?

[tiger_handheld]

^ what if she gives you the option to sex her up in exchange for:

1. free usage of her garage
2. a building in downtown vancouver
3. a rolex

if you got all 3 - would you do it? would you go to the level of Allen Harper?

I always wondered about these in East Van. Aren't there any bylaws against these?

I guess it depends on your neighbours. I've had the tent up for almost two years now and nobody has said anything. This is Burnaby, mind you.

Hey, if they allow strange buildings off alleys for nanny suites and shit in Vancouver, why would they bitch at a tent?

I know what you mean, though. I was worried about it. I figure 150 bucks, how can you go wrong? If they tell you to take it down, you sell it on craiglist or...... return it to Costco, LOL.

You haven't seen the old lady. So ugly your dick will go into coma or permanent hibernation, because the thought of boinking her would be on your mind forever...... quick, to the NSFW threads.
