ft 86 in the city

Ok guys i got an question for ya all...

I live in nyc and all.. so we basically all parallel park and we got tight spaces.

For that reason... manual or auto?

Also any tips on taking care of the car? ( from people hitting my rear and front bumpers..YOU SONS OF BITCHES)

I should get winter tires for it as well but i dont know where to keep them.

Also any other tip of taking good care of it >.<

If you're expert at it, then either MT or AT works. I don't think MT 0r AT doesn't make a difference

You can try like this if you want lol

Yeah, You should be careful even though you have clear bra and stuff. Sometimes, stupid people just hit your car and leave some scratches and dents. It happened to to twice.

You know it never fails I park way out in any parking lot not anywhere near other vehicles with hundreds of empty places everywhere and some ass always parks beside me, so no matter what you do, people will find a way to f@&$ up your sh&t

Take up 2 spots or park in multiple spots the opposite way the lines are. Other than that there is no other way there's always gonna be some douche that isn't paying attention or doesn't care and will etiher park super close or hit you

Yeah the parking the wrong way is worse, saw a viper parked like that, and there was two trucks parked in front and behind where he couldn't get out, I laughed but was glad it wasn't me
