I get to drive my parent's car... is it stupid to drive it to the club?
So recently, I got my parents' car (that they don't use) but I am wondering if it's stupid to park it at the strip club. It's not a cheap car either - an SUV. I am wondering if I should just take the public transit (an hour transit) or just use the car. My parents don't know that I am stripping, so if they ever look for it (they live out of state), wouldn't they be able to see where it went and eventually figure out that I work at an SC? Would an SUV draw too much attention and be a target for theft or vandalism? What other potential problems can arise from this?
I am planning on getting my own car with the money I earn, but for now, I don't have enough saved up.
Thank you ladies, I hope to hear your advice soon.

I think you are being paranoid and overthinking, honestly.
Tons of girls at my club drive Audis, BMWs, etc. and I have never heard one express concern about theft or vandalism. An SUV is probably not going to be a target.
I would think it was much more dangerous to take public transit, especially if you are working nights, and risk being mugged, followed, etc.

A lot of dancers have nice cars. Plus I'm sure just about all clubs have video surveillance of the parking lot, and I doubt anyone would mess with it.
I agree with Selina, public transit at night is probably more dangerous and risky than what could happen in your clubs parking lot.

Drive the car, you'll be fine. Just don't drink before you're about to drive back.

I see. Thanks everyone ^^

Unless your parents installed a GPS tracking device on the car, I don't see how they would be able to figure out where it is at any given time, and then discover that you're dancing.

^ Or if there is a sat nav, dont use it so the address isn't saved
i dont know if that's even an issue or not since i've never used a sat nav before but i watch too much crime drama where they figure out where people have been by going through the last trip on the sat nav lol

I wouldn't worry so much about theft or them looking for the car as I would about your story if something were to happen. Where do your parents think you are taking that car every night now? If you were to get into an accident in an area an hour away (even just a minor fender bender) and have to contact them and tell them because it's their car, do you have an excuse as to why you are where you are?
I only ask because I'm paranoid of this very thing. I drive a car that is still technically registered to my parents (they refuse to officially sign it over to me and make it my 100% responsibility), and I use to drive all over the place when I'm "supposed" to be in one place, working a vanilla job. And I worry all the time about how I would explain it if I were to get in an accident several hours away from home on a random weekday. I really just need to save my recent influx of cash for a new car that's in my name.
Not to be an overly paranoid downer.... lol I agree that I think theft is unlikely, and that your parents wouldn't (shouldn't) be able to track your car. But I worry about other things. Doesn't stop me - just something to think about.

I drove my Dad's BMW X6 to my club like, 4x last winter when I was dancing because my shitty Acura wasn't working. He has absolutely no idea. Trust me I would NEVER be able to drive it again if he knew. I just parked it RIGHT outside the club where the door guy could see and DID NOT use the GPS system. And did NOT drink or drive fast, if you get a parking ticket/traffic ticket by the club, well you're kind of fucked.
That car is brand new and like 100g, I have to imagine he couldn't track me on it you'll be fine.
Re: I get to drive my parent's car... is it stupid to drive it to the club?
Knowing them, my parents could've put a GPS tracker there, but I got friends who are familiar with cars to check and they didn't find anything. Even if they did find that the car was going somewhere, it'd be easy for me to bullshit them and say I was driving myself for a school field trip.
I don't have much to lose if my parents find out anyway besides the car, so it won't be stopping me from driving to the SC anytime soon.
Re: I get to drive my parent's car... is it stupid to drive it to the club?
I drive a rather nice sports car that's never been messed with once at either club I work at. I make sure to park near the door and dont worry about it. Before I bought it, I drove my dad's Mercedes and, being that its a unique car, people looked at it but never messed with it.
You'll be fine. Parking it at a SC is probably safer than most places, with security and video cameras all over.

I used to work in a club that was on the edge of a nice town and then a "not as nice" town so the area wasn't very good. ALL of the girls had nice cars and one girl even drove a Bentley to work sometimes ::) they made my Jetta look like a cardboard box on wheels lol. There's security and cameras and usually people coming in and out so I don't think you have to worry about theft.. just don't leave any valuables out obviously.
If you really think they put a GPS in the car then don't drive it but maybe you're just being paranoid (I would be too though especially if it were my dad's car). But I still recommend taking a car to work over public transportation! Just drive carefully so you don't get any tickets or in any accidents.
