I'd try to park in some clear spot. I tend to think people really don't give a rat's **** about other cars in these places. Call a cab or limo service. Probably cheaper vs paying for parking

NO! don't do it.
It will likely be safe but the last time i did that (with my other car) there was so much bird crap on it when i got back.

just my 2 cents

Cab or Limo.. then you don't have to worry about getting your car and driving back after the flight home.

I agree wholeheartedly. To me it's worth the extra $30 not to have to worry while I'm away or the anger that envelops me when I see ( chances are) the condition of the G upon my return. However, you may have a higher tollerence for stress than I

Have a friend drop you off and limo home ( abou the same overall cost).
Part it at a friends close to the Airport and take a taxi.
Good luck whatever you do,

ok guys thanks for the advice, makes sense, cause it's a G i don't think i'll take the risk... if i still had my civic, i would probably definately do it.....

just the overall cost seems so different, taxi back and forth $100, parking $30 +10 gas

LOL, I have to agree, get a ride or limo......I'd rather walk than leave my ride there.

From: Western Canada, eh
I left my last car at a P&F and when I got back there was a scrape of the top side of the bumper. First they tried to tell me it was there before, but when I called for the manager he came out and did his best to tell me that they would take care of it. They gave me a business card from a local detailing shop who was able to buff out most of the scrape... at their expense.
Needless to say, I haven't taken my car back to that P&F.
I have had better luck in the public parking lots at the airport -- there is usually a group of high-end cars in one area... I park near them

Comeon if you can afford a G35 and a plane ticket to go somewhere spend the money on the taxi as well. Or find a budy to drop you off, I am sure us g35 will glad to give a fellow g35 memeber a lift.

Give me a shout I will take you there and I will only charge you 50 bucks round trip hehehehehehe

Seems like you have already made up your mind, but I'll throw my $.02 in anyway. The last time I parked my truck in one of these lots I came back to 2 big door dings. I didn't really care, dings and scratches give a 4X4 character.

However, I would never park my G there!

LOL...

I take my G35 C to P&F all the time... I go to the main lot... I always give the guy like $5.00 and ask him kindly to put it somewhere safe where it won't get scratched and to keep an eye on it...

5 times so far this year and they have a done a great job, no problems... I even write down the KM's to make sure they aren't going for a ride.

I suppose it is a risk taking it there but so far they have been good to me. No dents, no dings, no extra K, and the guys don't burn the clutch when they drive up. I have had good experiences so far, so... good luck!
