Fantastic thread. Best I've read in a while.

ROFL. Glad it's not morning time or coffee would be everywhere.

Thanks all. Needed this.

Found bottles, cans, food wrappers, etc. Wouldn't risk that with a vert.

This is my 2nd vert for a combined total of 18 years of daily driving them. At first I was paranoid and put the top up all the time. Eventually I got tired of all the up/down/up/down. If I am leaving it someplace I consider safe, for a brief period of time, I'll leave it down.
Knock on wood, but nobody has ever messed with my cars when the top was down.

I'm sorry about that. I just couldn't find another open spot.

I have the same issue at our YMCA... I park in the back row backed in on the far right of the lot and another black gen 6 SS takes the spot in the SAME row, backed in on the far left. The kids said that I have to give him a break since it's another Camaro and he leaves at least 20 or so spots between us. Thankfully no one else likes to park in the far back of the lot

Have to pull the other identity of Hank out from Me, Myself and Irene and piss in a gas tank.

Not just trash but other things ending up in your car,i was out with some friends one night leaving a bar and saw a dude pissing into a solstice or sky with the top down

Actually more like 75% since you can cheat over to the outside edge and leave more room although it does increase the chance for a bigger ding with more door swing available.
