    Re: Parking under a tree?

    No way. I used to do this long ago, for shade. On a beautiful day in Jan 1990 at Fort Lee, VA, I did this. Came back out that afternoon and found a huge dead limb broke off of the tree, and smashed the roof of my car (which was a 1985 Toyota Celica). Yes, I got it fixed, but it never looked the same. Since then, I have never parked my car under a tree.

      ABSOLUTELY NOT!.....

      I know this is extreme, but I would rather enjoying driving my vehicle than cleaning up all the nasty sap or bird droppings....



      I prefer to park remotely away from other vehicles to avoid dings or dents and I park under nothing unless it's my garage....

        I would have to say maybe. It really all depend where you are at, the weather conditions ie. windy and if its a tall tree. I occasionally will park under the a tree for some shade but I decide by using the criteria from above.

            I guess it depends on how long you park there...



            I hear ya though with the AZ heat - but I still park in the open, crack the windows, put up the window shade. Oh, and run the AC for a few min before getting back into it!
            The only reason some people get lost in thought... is because it is unfamiliar territory for them.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
