Mine is always in my garage. At work I take up the far last spot and the only car next to mine exits opposite of my car. I never take up 2 spaces as that is asking for some pissed off a---- to key it. I park as far away as possible in malls, etc. as walking is healthy exercise. 2 1/2 years, one minor ding which got fixed. Lucky so far. My wife isn't so lucky. The rear glass on her brand new Lexus ES300 blew out for no apparent reason last week in her work parking lot. No vandalisn and nothing hit it. Lexus is fixing it but you never know when The fickle finger of Fate is going to strike.

Yup, mine is in a 'garage', in fact it is somewhere in Japan as a bunch of unassembled parts, but those parts are sitting inside. '02 Spa Hardtop due in April!

For now I'm renting an apartment and I live next to a mini-storage complex and I rent out a garage for my CRX-Si. As soon as the S2000 shows up the CRX-Si goes to a big garage at my parent's home and the S2000 will live in the garage next to the apartment. When I drive to work it will be parked in a ramp garage and I will be able to see it from the office next door.

The frequency of antenna thefts makes me contemplate unscrewing the sucker and rescrewing it in with a bit of superglue. Some people are just so sad. My mother has a beautiful 2001 Subaru Outback. She came out of the grocery store last week to see this woman parked next to her driving a rusted Nissan Sentra setting grocery bags on the hood of the Outback. The owner of the Sentra said she did not want to bend over so she just set them there, it's fine, don't worry. Mom got her plate number and I looked over her car, it seems fine, but how stupid and inconsiderate can you get???

Mine is always is the garage also. Less wear and tear on the paint and the hardtop. If you have to park it outside, a good outdoor car cover would be a worthwhile investment.

satr8 6 - I didn't think the mirrors folded on our cars. I tried foilding it once, but it didn't feel like it moved. I just didn't want to force it and break it.

Unfortunately, mine stays outside. If I had a garage it wouldn't, that's for certain. I don't worry too much about the car being parked outside, but I did install locking lug nuts to reduce the likelihood of wheel theft when it's parked in strange places

MarkS2k, the mirrors can fold either ways.

Indeed. Some smart-asses turned both if mine in when at a movie one day. More often, I find my side mirrors pushed in. Innocent enough, but still irritating.
