No I haven’t .. but I have been on many cities that fit the same description.. don’t get me wrong .. I agree with you .. that is horrible to live on a place like that , that you have to even think twice on where to park your car…
Worcester Mass is no paradise either !!! like 1000s of cities in the US.

I feel your pain, and to a certain extent get your logic for parking on the yellow. However, that yellow is probably there for a reason - most likely to allow people backing out from the other side, sufficient room to maneuver. I don't enjoy saying this, but to a certain extent, you asked for it. I know, your
options were limited, but it doesn't change the facts.

Get it fixed, and like some have said, get a beater.

ghet·to noun \ˈge-(ˌ)tō\
plural ghettos also ghettoes






Definition of GHETTO

1: a quarter of a city in which Jews were formerly required to live


2: a quarter of a city in which members of a minority group live especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure


3a : an isolated group <a geriatric ghetto> b : a situation that resembles a ghetto especially in conferring inferior status or limiting opportunity <the pink-collar ghetto>



I'm not sure if you're just overly sensitive or what, but calling an ace an ace isn't really a crime...

Good grief. I'm sure the OP wasn't thinking of the origin of the word when he used it, just the current day meaning.

OP...I'd say don't take a nice car, park it in a ghetto area in a tight parking lot and expect it to stay nice.

You all are right, being PC isn't necessary on this site. I give up.

Seriously? You think that using the word "ghetto" is non PC?

Do you have a list of non PC words, like George Carlin had a list of words you cannot say on tv?

Who is it here exactly that you think would be offended by the use of the word "ghetto"?

I could say the same of people who overuse the term "muscle car". I am confident most don't even know the origin of the term.
OP - park the Camaro and buy a beater. For what it costs you in damage control to the Camaro, priceless. I choose to drive a beater for the next 5 months to preserve my Camaro, yah it sucks but it will not be taking the seasonal abuse and therefore I retain my sanity at the cost of my vanity.

I know people who would be offended by the word. Why use a word that SOME people consider a racial epitaph when you can choose other words? A lack of vocabulary?
