Question Do I dare take the Blue Zoomer to the Stones concert?

My wife and I have tickets to the Stones concert in Tampa tonight. I'm planning on taking the Blue Zoomer.

Do I dare park her in a parking garage for a rock concert?

Heck, it'll probably be all Porkers and Mercs and Beemers. Won't it? And maybe I can find a good corner spot.

I work from home and have to seize these oportunities when I get 'em.

We just saw the Stones in Atlanta. Very, ah, mature crowd. So that is not a worry, other than the alcohol flowed freely amongst this middle aged audience. The real question is: do you normally park your P car in parking lots?
I left mine at home and took the lady's G35. Which in itself is a perfectly fine ride.
Enjoy the show. It is simply great.

What would your reaction be if you got back to your car after the concert and noticed a scratch in the pain or some other type of damage? If you are the type of person who can shrug that off and just get it fixed take your car, if you are like me and that would ruin more than your week leave it at home safe and sound. I always think that way about these types of desicions that way. I weigh out the fun of driving the car where I need to go then the risk factor of where I may have to park it. That's probably why I only have 4,400 miles on my car that I bought last december. Anyway I hope this helps.

Took my 997S cab to the Stones concert at Giants Stadium. No problem; in fact, a 996 cab was parked behind me. Just stay away from the SUV's. I find these people oblivious to what's behind them when they're backing up.

I would leave the P car at home. Otherwise you will not enjoy the concert because you will be worried about your baby sitting in the parking lot.

Whoa, sports car to a rock concert? Not unless it's a very secure parking spot I'd forget it.

I wouldn't be able to enjoy the concert if I took the Porsche. Parking lots tend to be wall to wall cars and totally packed like sardines for events like that. I'd skip it.

I'd skip the concert, buy the live concert CD, and sit in your garage in the Blue Zoomer reading the owner's manual again listening to the tunes.

Aero Smith...in all the excitement you forgot to change your sig - - you are no longer "CMPPRD September 20th".

I took a plane to the Stones concert, that is we flew up to Toronto to see them a few Monday's back.

That being said, saw "Beatle Paul" at the MCI center and took the Audi. Didn't even dare to take the Cayenne and wouldn't take the Boxster either.

So, I know you are there now, and they are shooting fire while they do a great version of "Symph for the Devil", so hopefully if you took the Blue Zoomer, all is well...

5 bucks says he's smarter than taking it there. I think it was a tongue-in-cheek question he was posing just to get a rise out of us.

Actually, he's got bigger problems than door dings with Southern Florida in Wilma's sight.
