I admit that I pamper my stook more than members of my own family; it will never see a snowflake much less a grain of road salt, and hopefully rain only when I get caught in an unexpected cloudburst.

But really, it's just a car. If there is someone in the world who wants to leave his outside at the curb 365 days a year, that's his business. What's the worst that can happen?

 

Man, that would be insane. The car does not only attract chicks but also some ??? jealous people.

 

Garage, I would never park it on the street. I would be worried about it all the time.

 

I am in the same boat at you, condo and no garage. Still finalizing my decision. I didn't like what the others said. I will get a good car cover and probably get over the paranoia. I figure i cant afford and house and a car. Get the car.

 

Garage at home, fenced/ attended parking lot on the fringe of CC Philly. Thinking of getting a car cover....always gets dusty in the lot.

 

I don't know if this is the worst but you could get your car vandalized 2-3 times during the same year...file 2-3 claims to your insurance company and then realize at the end year that no insurance company wants to insure your car. That's what happened to me.

 

Personally, I park mine in a garage and get paranoid when parking in lots, streets, etc. There is a new S2K that parks near my work on the street under a freeway overpass. It's fine so far, but I couldn't do that. It is just a car though. And it's not anywhere near the price of the above-average SUV. Most of those three ton leather-soaked mobile living rooms cost a lot more than a Stook. Now that's just not right.

Yeah I think that's what I'll do. Like you, I can't afford moving right now. But as some say, it's still a car (quite a nice one though). And when I buy it, I want to be able to go anywhere with it (except real shady parts in town, which I don't go to anyways). I think we should enjoy the car but not let it dictate what we can and cannot do.

 

Just came back from the dealer, I put a deposit on a red s2000, I am "siked". Will pick it up thur or friday.

Any one know anything about California Car Cover Company (http://www.calcarcover.com/). Looks like I can get a 4 year cover and bag for about 300$.
