depending on what I'm doing the next day I usually keep mine in the shop, I'll leave it in the the driveway from time to time though and still feel safe, cause I live in the middle of nowhere and have a long driveway. I also have no trespassing signs all around my property so if someone tries to mess with my z I have the right to shoot them.

You can take the Z out of the street, but you can't take the street out of the Z.

the Z is no special car.. the streets are fine. just know your surroundings and it'll be okay.

My Z sleeps in the garage. If fact, it rarely sits anywhere but in the garage.

last time a kid even wondered into my yard, he doesn't even know how close he came to walking with a limp for the rest of his life.

I paid $40k for my car, so yes it is very special to me.

I would never park on the streets. Too many horror stories. My Z stays in the garage at all times if I'm not driving it.

I park mine on the street outside the front of my house because apparently the slope to enter my garage is too steep and would scrape the hell out of the bottom...

Also, someone hit and ran my car while it was out there...

I park both my cars in the garage. I bought a house with a two car garage in a decent area before I ever bought a car that deserved garaging. I have a roadster that rarely has the roof closed.

i'd recommend against it...

i parked it on a main street in downtown seattle in front of a group of cops. came back from a night of dancing - cops still there - yet there was a footprint that kicked in my pass side fender and slide all over my hood scratchin the whole thing up. asked the cops and they didn't see anything happen.

parked in only for two hours outside my complex (i have underground parking) for a quick run in and out and someone rear ended me - hit and run - it was light, just left licenses plate screw marks but it still sucks.

well, never thought it would happen but looks like someone put a dent on my rear tire fender. can't decide if someone bumped into it or if it was from a door but it sucks either way. it's barely noticeable. didn't even see it until I was cleaning my car and then I was like WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! it must have happened when I was at work or something.
