Where do you guys/gals get to park when you take your c6 to work?

I am usually out in the field selling, however, on nice days that I dont have any appts set up, I take the C6 to work and park it in my warehouse!

It feels so good, especially in this TEXAS heat!


I tried to post pics using photobucket, but it didnt work,

When I drive mine to work I try to get a parking stall on the end of a row. This way I have only one side to protect from would be car doors. I make use of the striped no parking area on the end of the row, and generally I have 1/2 my car in that area. So far this has worked.

In a gated, covered garage and up as many floors as necessary to make sure nobody will park within 10 spots of me.

I back out of the garage at home and drive to our shop, where I use the door opener to put the Vette in the shop garage, leaving enough room for my wife to put her CTS in the same garage next to me....
I like the universal garage door opener the C6 has....................

In the parking lot at work along with the rest of the cars. There are cars and trucks that cost WAY more than my C6. I just find an available spot (all spots are covered) and pull in...no biggie!

Default My work had a parking space made just for me...

Funny... I'm not sure how they knew I'd be buying a Corvette, but it's the perfect space...

I park mine along the side of the building, away from trees and the *&^% birds that like to nest in them.

It's also out of direct sunlight since the building provides some shade.

Other than that I don't really worry about it too much.

That's perfect! Fortunately for me I can park so far away from people that my '05 doesn't have a door ding. I hope I didn't ruin some karma thing.
