there is no sun light. its completely underground so sun cant get to it.

there is no dust down there at all. the parking lot is supper shiny and its not moist at all. its completely dry.

ill see if tru_Asiatik wants to come with me to the lot and we will probably make few videos. if he doesnt then ill just go with my friend.

thnx bro but i dont think much can happen at 5mph. i mean the car just slides even if you just turn your wheel to the left or right.

Lol M4A1 that was so annoying to read.

its not really a safe environment tho lol there are so many poles but as long as your careful i think you should be ok

the speed bumps are the worse

I have a friend that messed up an 88SS body by doing that.... nailed a curb hard sideways.

no sprinkles but its supper shiny. its so weird because its the only parking lot that i have been inside that does this.
