Parking under the sun vs under a tree

Under a tree.

i have the misfortune of renting a parking space very near our place for 500 pesos a month. the downside is: my slot is right underneath a sampaloc tree and if rain is pretty strong, binabaha hanggang tuhod. i had no choice each time i go home but to put on the car cover unless during heavy rains. nakaka discourage pang i car wash kasi umuulan lagi.

btt. under the tree pa rin lalo na if i wouldn't park for long.

huwag lang under a coconut tree....

^^^Syempre naman...kung ayaw magkaroong ng instant dimple ang auto...

Saw our neighbor parking sa ilalim ng coconut tree na clueless sya...basta malilim, salaksak ng auto...i was the one worried than himself!

My experience:
- under the sun - di maganda effect sa CF hood ko

- under the tree - dami dahon, straw, at kung ano-ano

For me: under the sun na lang..

Choosing between lesser evil lang yan. Pag sa arawan nagppark madalas, mas mabilis magiging brittle yung rubber mouldings ng windows, pag sa puno namman, dagta, dahon at falling branches ang risk. May mga puno na nagddrop ng dagta, may mga punong wala naman at puro dahon lang. Yung parking ko sa school dati, ganun. May isang puno na kakapark mo pa lang, tata3han na oto mo. Kaya kahit agawan ng parking dun at yun na lang ang free, kahit isang branch lang nya ang overhead sa auto, di ako nagpapark dun. Tree sap and dried bird poo eats through the clearcoat kahit naka sealant ako + Collinite.

hindi ba mas delikado kung meron kang sunroof and you park under the tree.

Invest on a good car cover, then park under a tree. That way, kung maiiputan kotse mo, dun sa car cover lang.. Not on the paint

New car .. under the sun
Old car .. inside the garage + car cover + de-humidifiers inside the cabin

If you want to park under a tree, be sure to ascertain what kind of tree it is. Yung isang kaibigan ko nag park sa ilalim ng puno ng indian mango, nahulogan ng isang tangkay na indian mango ang hood nya, ayun puro dent.

On the positive side, at least toyo at bagoong nalang hinanap namin ..

Thanks guys, mukhang split pa rin ang opinion regarding this.

In my case, sa kabutihang palad wala namang niyog o mangga sa opis, pero may mga bilog na parang aratiles fruit yung mga puno sa parking lot. Mahirap kapag yun or dried leaves ang pumasok sa singit singit ng hood. Kung under the sun naman, as much as possible facing east ang orientation ng kotse, para hindi ma-bake yung dashboard and front seats kapag nasa west na ang araw (and malapit na umuwi).

Ngayon ko lang naisip, pabor pala sa night shift yung open parking, mura na, hindi pa bilad sa araw ang oto ng mga night shift workers. May night differential pa!
