I have a car, and I live downtown - Hamilton, that is.
Although even here, I don't have proper parking, so I park on the street. This has lead to my car being keyed front to back (I have a 2000 Jetta) and uncountable parking tickets. And there are trees everywhere, so I have to deal with bird shit, and on a black car, that means a weekly car wash at the least.
I'm going to own it outright in October, so that will make it much more affordable to pay for the nuisances. Although I plan to be living in Toronto by then, so who knows what I'll do.
My friend has a condo on Church/Dundas, and he paid $15,000 for his S4's parking spot. Just remember that cars are way more expensive than the price tag you see at the dealership. Unless of course, your dad is the dealer and/or you have a massive inheritance not unlike my S4 driving buddy.
