Well im driving home at 3am from my girls house. its like 30 something degrees out. just snowed this evening and roads are slippery. my neighborhood isnt that bad. i know all my neighbors down the whole block. well i was driving home i noticed that the small streets are super icy. but luckly i have vsc. saved!! but anywho i saw a couple car that were parked outside and their mirrors were torn off their car and other cars down the block were side swiped. im like wtf!! stupid people!! i saw a acura tl around the end of my block, nothing modded but like lowered and blacked out tails. his mirrors was ripped off his car and half way down the block. well there is a reason why i never keep my car out in the street. never safe!!!

Don't get me wrong; I love the city, but this is one reason why I didn't buy something down there.....

You have VSC on a 98? I think you meant snow mode mated with TC (lol). Yes, it is rough in the city for parking and things only get worse with the onset of snow and parking restrictions for the winter ban. I salute your patience, I would loose my mind.

Yeh,

Even sublet parking is pricey. Especially in the loop or Central Business District. West of the river is always cheaper.

Those prices are usually downtown. It's a one time fee. You essentially own the space.

You crazy folk with your fancy traction control systems. Chicago is not so good for car owners.

Does anyone remember the old late 80's Chevy Cavaliers? They had the best traction control. With treadless tires, you could not spin the tires on a sheet of ice in the middle of the Antarctic.
