Default Where do you park yours?????

Lets be all honest everyone on here loves their scooby and iam no exception. Its fair to say impreza`s are not in the same league as Ferrari's, but you do have to watch where you park them as they have a higher chance to be vandalized or nicked than your average family car.

Parking at home is not great as I live in a block of apartments and can not see the car when in my flat.

Surely that could happen at uni too.

During the day mine is on camp which to be fair is quite safe, at night its got a designated space outside my flat which is in cul-de-sac but only been there a week so we'll see.

I too have a designated space, all was ok until a few weeks ago the flat next door was empty for two years until an 82 year old moved in, so now I park in the visitors parking which does not go down too well with the neighbors, its that or a door full of dings.

On the drive, and wherever is convenient when I'm out. It's only a car, and it's insured and alarmed.

Sounds perfection!!!!

Is it just me or does everyone try to avoid door to door parking.

I used to be a bit paranoid when I first got it, had to watch where I parked but after the first carpark ding I thought **** it, can't avoid everything in life but it's parked up on a private driveway or locked in a garage so gets some love.

mines always garaged at home, with the other car on the driveway blocking in the garage door.

gets parked in a private car park for work in a safe area so thats nice too. always nervous of leaving it in town centre car parks etc when i'm shopping, too many pikeys about that'll key it

i used to have way to many paranoide sleepless nights, worrying about cars. its just not worth it, now i couldnt careless, if it gets nicked it gets nicked, there is nothing i can do legally to stop it happening.

btw never buy one of those proximity alarms, all you'll do is listern out for the buzz, its ruined my life for a while.

At work I always park mine on the outside of the car par, as the bloody kids always walk/ride through and catch the cars with their bags etc.

I parked against the building one day and came out to find a dented bonnet where some toe rag had thrown a dictionary out of one of the upstairs English classrooms!!
