I will be parking my Camaro in Atlantic City for two nights... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I hate the idea of leaving it in those tight parking garages, unattended...but I guess that's why I have comprehensive insurance!

I'll be doing self parking, just because I don't trust the valets.

Do you guys have any experiences related to casino parking, or something similar to share?

I have a lot of bad luck in parking lots in general. My last car was totaled in the last row of a target parking lot because some smashed my trunk and the parts were impossible to find apparently.

Then in my Camaro; I was in my works parking garage and someone backed into my fender, I had the quarter panel and door skin replaced... My car is now worth less than $15,000

Comprehensive is nice but its still a day ruin-er when you walkout to your car and its all beat up and there's no note.

It's a day ruin-er when you walkout to your car, it's beat up, and there is a note....

I parked my CTS at various Casinos in Vegas for a few visits, and I just kept searching the garage until I found a good, end spot. Sometimes ended up on the top floor, but I never did have any problems.

I drove a Crystler 200 for 2 weeks. Then the Rental company called said that the rental I was driving was sold and I need to swap it out. They gave another Crystler 200 that was older and even more junkie.

I was thinking of just heading up to the top parking level, but at the same time I don't want to make my car look like a target. (Though, that is what I'll probably do).

Hopefully there is another Camaro up there (or other car who's owner cares), so I can park near them. Strength in numbers lol.

I leave my Corvette at long term parking at the airport. In the end its just a car and I have insurance.

Atlantic city is pretty nice, I went there once.

Swacer · 03-02-2015, 10:44 AM

Thats why you have the beater car....so you don't have to stick the camaro in that situation.

Back it in. E-brake on. Try to find spot up next to a wall, or a pillar. Then at least one side is protected. If there is an attendant, slip him $20 to keep an eye on it.

My friend has his Camaro stolen from self parking in AC. He parked it right next to the guard booth and I guess the guard wanted it.

Good call. Cut the wheel toward the pillar too? (To prevent being towed by thieves?)
