Driveway, parking space, or on the street?
Where does your auto spend it's evenings? Assuming you have an auto. Ours is in a parking space outside the apartment. There is a lot of spaces so no apt. numbers on the spaces either.

1. In my garage.
In the driveway occasionally, if I'm working on a project in the garage.

5. On the street
My (tiny) apartment building is...ah...very relaxed, and I'd have to dig out my own stall underneath all the snow in the parking lot. :scared:

6. I can never figure out the people...
...who have both a garage and a driveway, and yet still park on the street. (Very annoying to weave around those obstacle courses on a narrow road!) Even if the garage is full of stuff, I'd still pull my car up on the driveway instead of parking on the street, if I had the option. Just seems safer there.

Mine? In an open parking space, exposed to all the elements. :(

19. Man, you are preaching to the choir.
My neighbor across the street has three cars in their family and they NEVER park in the driveway.

Drives me batshit.

8. I've got a private garage in my apartment complex.
Keeps my baby out of the hot California sun.

10. In the garage.
Once I lived in an upper apartment on the town square in Stevens Point, WI; I couldn't park overnight in the lot right in front of my building, so I had to rent ($6 per month) a space about six blocks away. I hated going back and forth between my parking space and my apartment very late at night or very early in the morning.

11. Underground Parking
I went down to my car the other day and there was the lid from a whipped cream on my trunk. Were kids doing whippets down there?

12. On the street.
In front of my house most of the time. There's no guarantee the spot will be there, but I drive about once a month, so I can usually hang on to it.

15. On the dirt in front of my house between my steps and the town road.

It's a mighty tight squeeze. I have no garage, no carport, no driveway. Oh, no sidewalk, either.

16. We rent one garage space, so one car is in the garage and the other is on
the street. Unless there is a lot of snow, then then other car goes in the driveway.
