Ready to race!
So I'm in the apartment searching process (which is an absolutely pain) in a really urban area and because I need my car for work, I'm constantly running into the debate of garage parking vs. street parking.
The place I'm looking into has street parking around but I question how my car will fair in the long run. If I opt with street parking I will save a shit load of money vs. paying a high fee every month for the garage. There is a garage roughly a block away. On the other hand, I hate and don't trust a lot of valet people and I trust them even less handling a manual.
So question for the owners who live in metropolis regions and have to resort to street parking, how banged up have your cars been? I'm probably gonna get one of those cheesy rubber bumper shield things for the rear but there really isn't an option for the front bumper. Not that I've seen them anyways.
Anybody here use said bumper shields? Are they actually effective? I've already accepted that my car will see a fair amount of wear and tear but I am trying to do my best to keep the process slow.
Your 2¢ will be appreciated.
