    Hi Guys

    Moving on the weekend to a place that only has on street parking.

    Just curious as to where you keep your cars at night?

    Garage - always in a garage.

    I've never understood why people use garages for storing crap. The people across the road from me have a four-car garage and yet they still keep four cars parked in the driveway / street. I just don't get it...

    Commodores are out the front. Toranas are in the shed. As it should be.

    i HAVE to park my car in the driveway lol. 2 car garage and mum and dad's take priority, even though my car is worth 5 times as much as my mum's car.

    VX SS is always garaged, gets very little use, the VC lives in the driveway as it gets used most days.

    Mine is in the front yard/driveway. I'd love to have it in a garage but i can't. And i would also prefer to have it out the back but it can't do that either. Luckily i live on a fairly quiet little street. I'd never leave a car on the street though

    I keep mine in garage at home and driveway at gfs. Hate it when it's on the road. Don't trust people. My old car got backed into multiple times on the road and they took off

    I'm guessing you took my post the wrong way,I meant it as "where do you park,your house number and where are the keys"?
    I was basically going along with what you said, Probably should have added a

    Depends on where my dad parks/who gets home first.

    Either front yard, or driveway...garage stores dads toy and mums car (which ironically is worth less then dads VE and my VY..)

    I keep mine under a carport or a garage, I rarely leave it out in the open.

    The VB with its pristine paintwork and easy to steal nature lives in garage. $18k has been spent on resto for it to be insured for legitimately at $6k, so I keep it protected as possible i.e. in locked garage. The VX.....it lives on driveway, unfortunately exposed to the elements. Parents Mazda CX7 occupies other half of garage.
