Now everybody is going to think I'm **** with my car. Especially when the parking lot at work is on a main and very busy street. FYI I work at a liquor store. So my question is.. if you were one of my customer what would you think if you see my car with a car cover?(all the regular customers knows what I drive)

They prob wouldn't care too much, prob drunk on the way in anyways. JK! Just sucks you have to go through that, tree sap is hard to get off. Any way you can park a little further away in an area where there is no tree sap?

Tough situation. Parking under a tree is pretty bad for droppings of all kinds. But a car cover, especially in view of party people or drunks wouldn't exactly present a good situation either. This all depends on how decent your area or neighborhood may be. I'd say try to park somewhere else, not under a tree, but away from harm's way if you can.
Good luck bro.

There's pine trees all over the parking lot and where there's pine tree free spots in the parking lot is where you most likely be hit by bad drivers(or by opening car's doors). quick question.. how bad are those "misty" tree sap(those very tiny spray like saps) on our car? I don't feel like covering my car every time I go to work( I work 6 days a week) and I heard.. you're only able to use the car cover only when your car is freshly washed. If your car is dirty you risk damaging your paint. I drive a black car btw.

My .02 - unless your car is very clean, a car cover is a bad idea. You will end up with lots of scratches and that will definitely shown on a black car.
Then again, tree sap will etch through the clear coat so that sucks too.
I know a lot of people are against them, but if you must use a car cover, then get a car duster. Dust off the car (assuming it's only pollen, etc), then put on the cover. If your car is very dirty, then just leave it uncovered.

My other options are park where there's no pine trees but risk getting ding by other drivers cause the plaza's parking lot gets really busy(there's also a bar in the plaza) or park it near the pine trees and get tiny mist of sap on my car. Is a no win, win situation here. I think I gotta settle for option 2.
