I thought this would be an interesting poll. I have a real fear of vandalism, and want to know where everybody parks their cars.

Where I am now, it would have to be parked on a residential street -- where it is garanteed to be damaged (I could write a full page about what has been done to cars in my area, and to mine/family's). I plan to move in the next two months, so it will then be in a parking lot, or hopefully a garage. If I get it before then, I'm going to park it in my brothers driveway where it will be safe, but 10 miles away from me.

If you want, include any problems you have had with your location. Thanks everybody!

Your order will be pulled this week, I promise.
Hmmm, or maybe you call VOPC too often. They are delaying your order untill 2006 to get even with you.

Bummer Greg - hopefully the torture will end soon.
Soon you'll know firsthand why those fortunate enough among us to be owners, are so geeked about this particular Stang!

Craig - I live in a relatively good neighborhood and I didn't have space in my garage for the first few days after I brought her home (since I just refinished my basement). I was looking out the window to my driveway constantly. Every noise I heard, or car slowing down, or just cause it was too quiet. Y'see, I got it (Gregs gonna hate this) much sooner than I expected. That next weekend I got in that garage and space was made as I got rid of all sorts of crap. It's cold and salty on the roads here, so it's in the garage for a short hibernation, with a good car cover on her smooth waxed body.
C'mon springtime...

I spent 9 hours this past weekend cleaning out the garage because I got the call on Friday the 11th that she is being built this week. Nothing has fit in the garage since we moved in almost 4 years ago! I am on spring break next week and will be painting the garage. Only the best for my girl!

Ok well, she was going to sleep under a covered carport (covered not enclosed). But the night I brought her home the weather man was predicting hail storms, so. My grandpa pulled his car out of our shop so I can park her in there & close the doors.

So for now she sleeps in a enclosed, single car shop. I had been threatning to toss alot of stuff out of our other car shed & a smaller shed & move stuff from the car she to the smaller shed. So that I could part her there. But it looks like I won't have to do that.

Besides if I ever decide to move out I will defiently be looking for an enclosed garage. So, I am voting other. Cheers All

when I first bought my 05 back in early November my parking options were horrible.

1. Park on a main street tons of traffic where alot of cars get side swiped alot. :notnice:

2.Park in my alley behind my house :notnice:

3.Park in my back yard inclosed by a fence ( which I did for about a month until winter came and I had a hard time getting my car out of the snow/Mud. :notnice:

4. Park at my gf's house in the driveway for awhile. :notnice:

5. Spent 5 hours a couple weeks ago cleaning out my garage so I could have my baby at home safe with me
