Where Does Everyone Park their TL

What's up everyone. I would like to know how many of you park your car outside of your house/townhouse/condo. Also do you guys park in a parking lot? Soon I will be parking my TL outside and I am not happy about it. How safe do you guys feel doing so and what do you do to keep your car SAFE.

2007 in the garage; 2002 in the driveway.

We don't do anything special, but then again, not a much property crime in the area.

I park in the driveway.
my moms 07 Accord is in the garage.
My mom wont let me park it on the street at night though. But i just make sure that the door are locked, of course, and dont keep anything in there that would make a passerby want to break in, i also part it onthe side o the driveway where i can see it if i look out of the window...

I think you really should of included "park inside the garage" as an option. That's what I do. Nice and safe!

both cars in the garage... part of the CC&Rs - if you have a two car garage you must be able to fit two cars in it, and it pisses me off when people don't follow them!!! [arghh basketball hoops and RVs!]

In the driveway, sadly we have 5 cars and only a 2 car garage. nice neighbor hood though so I have no qualms leaving it in the driveway. In fact I think many of my neighbors cars would be a bigger target if someone was so inclined.

Well since my apartment's parking garage is sort of compact, and my neigbour car is an SUV, owned by a big fella, I'd rather park my car on the street (safe neighbourhood)

My roommate parks inside, and have found a few dings on his car door.

I can find gated parking for $100 / month, which equals to $1200 / year, but I don't think it's worth the money.

just moved to new apartment and got a garage spot for 100 a month. Its a nice spacious 5 car garage and each spot has pillars protecting your car from the others. Its worth it because im in oakland hehe

When I'm at home, both cars are always in the garage. When I'm at work, I park on the roof where no one else parks and I take up two spaces just incase some ahole wants to park up there.

One-car garage condo owner here. I park her in the garage. Booted the wife out to our 1 space in the parking lot. Lookin' forward to gettin' a house w/a garage 'though.
Lately, punks out here in San Diego have been towing cars to the chop shops left and right.

I currently park my 04 TL SSM on the NY streets (alternate side street cleaning) now. It is never safe. People would sometimes use my side mirror after I had flipped it in. Dings, and scratches are unavoidable. Most importantly is the headlights and the windows (noticed someones windows were smashed in). When I first bought it in oct2003 I parked it in a garage and they messed up my rear bumper. now the top of the bumper has a hairline fracture. I only parked there for the first 2 years.

Most of the time it's in the garage, but at night... it's parked in the driveway with a car cover on (only when it's clean).

My 08 TLS is the first car I have ever had to park outside. I don't like it, but we are in the process of building a new house (with a large garage), so until the house is finished it's outside for my baby.

Street for me by night. I have no choice for that. I don't have a driveway at my house. Luckily the curbs are rolled a little so they're more curb friendly. At work, I'll park at the back right against a curb as well to prevent dings.
