THE WHITE CAMARO "Safe parking at the mall" - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Took the girlfriend to Destiny mall in Syracuse yesterday to shop. I always park (until yesterday) far away from all cars. Decided to take a chance. Rule one was find the safe spot. I think I did. End of the row with no spot on one side. Park very close to the curb and turn wheels away from next car. I got lucky with the shade tree next to me. When we left later in the day the lot was full of cars. Great day of shopping!!!

Car looks clean man. Very nice

suzook · 07-08-2013, 09:19 AM

you still had room to get closer to the curb...and that tree will have birds in it crapping down on your clean car...not to mention the sap! LOL

walky35 · 07-08-2013, 09:20 AM

Why are all the good spots always under trees?

At least your car is white. LOL

Yep, never park under a tree. You might get away with it a few times but it won't take long before your car is covered in bird crap.

Good ol pole position, Makes me want to drive over to the nearest one and do some racing. Nice parking spot if you dont consider the massive tree. Look at it two ways, gives your car some shade to keep it nice and cool. Or houses some of the most potential bird shitters the likes that which you have never seen

Thought this was going to be a thread about how the Toyota put a dent in his car, glad to see it's not!

sanjosebmx · 07-08-2013, 01:22 PM

TREE DANGER! I always also look for vertical hazards, light poles, overhead wires etc.. trees that drop sap or needles (better than door dings, granted.)

Revrider550 · 07-08-2013, 02:35 PM

I'm from cuse too! Nice ride. I have a black LS can't believe ive never spotted your beauty around town before.

omgitsmikeyC · 07-08-2013, 03:53 PM

I'm loving the vintage Camaro emblem on your cowel. Could love to get for my side badging and rear trunk. Where did you find? Reasonably priced?

CamaroCNY · 07-08-2013, 04:08 PM

Good to see another person in the Syracuse area.

jravenfan · 07-08-2013, 04:16 PM

Those are the type of spots I look for minus the tree, curb on one side and get as close as you can to it so others don ding it. Car looks good, hope you got by without bird pooping on in.

You're brave! Looks like you made it out safe though.
