Thumbs up Who Parks there S in a garage?

I am going to School in the fall, and was wondering if it would be a big deal if I parked my 03 S2 outside all year. How much vandalism, and wether wear could generally occur?

Also who parks there car in a garage, and who doesn't?

Thanks

Taking the S to school is a very bad idea. You will get a lot of attention leading to vandalism. Too many jealous people at schools.

The amount of vandalism would kind of depend on the location, as would the amount of weather damage.
I keep my car in my garage the vast majority of the time but if I have to leave it outside I use an all-weather custom cover.

I am in college and drive the S to school everyday and park it outside everynight. I dont think you will have a problem IF:
a) you have your own driveway (not apartment complex)
b) you live in a nice area away from campus
c) cover the car regularly
d) don't take it out partying leaving your car in strange place till 3:00 am (get a friend to drive or take a cab)
e) part a & b are VERY important

****EDIT: I probably dont have to say this but get an alarm

****EDIT2: dont act like an asshole...act like they guy that knows how lucky he is to have an awsome car not like the guy that would not hav it any other way. Be humble and if people know it is your car they wont mess with it.

I am lucky, we have underground parking at work (with security guard and cameras) and it gets parked in the garage of my house.

Garage only for me.

I don't like parking it where there are alot of people. More people = more chance of an incident.

Same here... Seems like it is a lot safer to commute with the S (parked in work parking lot) than to go out with it.
