| Team-BHP Support ![]() | At the parking lot where I work, I have two options on where I can park. Each has their pro's and con's. Need your help in deciding which is the lesser of the two evils. Option 1: The Sun Pro's: No bird crap all over the car. No water from AC's dripping all over the car. No bits of dirt pushed off the ledges by the birds. Con's: Car sits in the sun the entire day. the interior becomes like an oven (even though I have a screen for the windscreen. Possible long term effects such as discoloration of the paint and interiors (even though all precautions as taken). Option 2: The dirt Pro's: Shade for most part of the day. Interior stays cool. Con's: Bird crap all over the car. Water from AC's dripping all over the car. Bits of dirt pushed off the ledges by the birds. Basically the car is a complete mess at the end of the day. Putting a cover on the car is not an option. So which option is best? I currently park it in the sun as I hate coming back to a filthy car at the end of the day.

| I prefer to park in open spaces. I absolutely hate to see birds taking a dump on my car; don't know what damage it does to paint, but it sure does raise my BP. And parking under trees also means that a lot of little leaves, twigs and dirt get into the vent holes on the hood. I think this may eventually cause blockage of the AC blower ducts, but not sure about this. In Maruti 800 some of this crap used to get into the car when I switched on the blower, but not in the Santro. |

| Team-BHP Support ![]() | My car is often parked in Delhi sun, and the tires did not have any damage I could see. They lasted 43000+kms. I think running at 100kmph on hot asphalt would be more taxing for the tyres?

So i guess the basic question is, which would be more harmful. Daily exposure to the sun, or daily exposure to the goo!
