Anyone with a parking spot I can rent for a week?
Hey,

so my parents are going away for the week of March 14-19 and they are leaving me the car to drive back and forth between Mac and Mississauga to check on the house a couple times....problem is, my driveway here is already full with my roommates cars. I'd park on the road, but it's a 2 hour limit by my house and I don't want any tickets.

I'm wondering if anyone has a driveway space they could rent me for a week? Doesn't really matter where it is, just as long as I can rest assured I won't get a parking ticket. I live on Bowman St., but I wouldn't be opposed to anywhere within the "Mac Bubble" as i'll only need the car two or three times.

I was thinking maybe like $20 for the week? Would be worth it for getting rid of the hassle of moving the car every 2 hours/worrying about a ticket.

Let me know! [email protected]

EDIT: my parents haven't for sure booked their trip yet, so I'm more or less seeing if there is anyone who would be interested in this, all my friends have packed driveways :(

Park at the middle school next to McMaster, in the back parking lot. Where the teacher parking is.

They dont have permits for the staff there so they wont know you aren't a school teacher parking there and you won't get any parking tickets.

I park there all the time over the past 2 years for 5+ hours at times and have yet to get a ticket.

it would need to be overnight too, so i'm guessing the school wouldn't be great for that?

I know someone who got a ticket and was parked illegally for less than an hour. Shockingly, the cops do exist.

i've got tickets, and my house is like a 20 minute walk from campus. for some unknown reason they patrol the crap outta my street, and its 90% old people and families.
the main reason i want a spot is to avoid having to move my car every half hour to avoid the traffic nazis

You can park on my driveway. Yeah. PM me for details. I live on Emerson. We have a parking spot but none of us have cars. LOL.
