I know they retail for about $200 something so it may be time for me to invest in one. Car covers always screamed "pretentious" to me, but that was before the Z!

My brand new 07 Z with only 300 miles is parked outside in an apt complex along with 1 G37, 2 G35s, and 1RX8. It's a safe place though I think.

I try to park my car under our car port or at work I park it in the parking garage. Sometimes it can't be done and I'll have to park my car outside (on the streets in Downtown New Orleans where I work) but I haven't had a problem with someone messing with it yet.

Hope I don't jinx myself because it's parked out back right now!!

I highly suggest no one says whether they park their car inside or out.. if someone knows and they find out where you live it makes your car an easier target right? Thats how my integra was stolen... word of mouth. I made my parents move their 750 outside an my little Z has the garage to itself =)

bro, moisture is just part of nature. If its raining out side, if you pull your car out of the garage, it will still get wet. Just keep your car clean, that moisture won't do anything on a clean car. IF you car is filthy dirty,then it will do harm.

I just saw THREE drop of huge bird **** on my rear windows this morning when I walk to my car!!

Why there is a guy say WCN sells it cheaper?? $178? I think thats the original price, not cheaper.

Car care products and lots of them. Don't forget about the rubber around the windows, the plastic, everything, if your car is stuck outside.
