Cool Car cover, sun and work
Just wanted to see how many of you really protect your 8 at work and what you do to do so.

I don't drive my 8 to work... not since some stupid freshman student thought its hood would be a good place to drop his #@$%^& backpack. Besides, there's another teacher here who has an 8 identical to mine, and you know how gauche that is.

I use the old Miata beater as my daily driver.

I have a car port, and I'll be ordering my car cover soon for in the hot sun during the work day. My next house will definately have a garage. I own a Kia to, guess which car is going to stay outside.

Sure I wish I could park it inside at home and work but thats not an option for me. I live in a downtown condo and have to park my baby outside (at least its a fenced in lot). My work also is all outside parking. I've just accepted that the 8 isn't going to stay perfect for very long and I'm going to just enjoy the hell out of driving it.

There is a parking garage at work, but when I park there I get a coat of fine dust all over the car - so I leave her outside.
