Default NYC s4 owners, please help

Hello,
I live and drive in NYC. When I park in the streets, I always come back to find new scratches on my rear bumper. I've seen cars with color matching rubber bumper protection. Where can I get those for my Nogaro Blue S4...
Thanks in advance...

not sure about the covers, but you can try having the bumpers wrapped in ClearBra or a similar prod.

Default Is there any viable solution for having a car in NYC and not paying over $300 a month for a garage?!

Anybody know of any descent parking lots/parking garages that aren't that expensive and are convenient? I really want to keep my car in NYC but street cleaning/lousy drivers makes it impossible for my car to stay in descent condition. Also garages basically start at $300 a month a go up and that is really a lot of money to be paying to keep a car in the city.

Default I'm thinking about keeping mine in Hoboken or Journal Sq - it's only like $150/mo and ...

it's right off the Path, so it's not too inconvenient. Anybody have any better ideas?

Default no, but if you somehow find this ideal solution

tell me! either way i'll probably go without a car in the city in the future. not just the money but the hassle.

film doesn't help when a navigator goes out of control, and into your car.

Default There is an 800 number in the yellow pages, call them, I used to park for less than $200 in the East

Village. Try to get a storage rate where you have to pay to remove the car during the week ($3-$5) but umlimited movement during the w/e
