Default Park the Corvette Outside?

You guys want to hear something funny? We are getting new carpet and doing some re-painting in a couple of rooms, so I told my wife she was going to have to park her Honda Accord in the driveway for week or so in order to put the furniture out of the way in the garage. You know what she said? "I don't see why you can't park your Corvette in the driveway." Oh, my wife... WHAT a kidder!!

You will need to put that Honda in the driveway, not the Vette, I only did this earlier this summer as I needed the entire garage for a tile project

You are lucky to have a wife with such a great sense of humor.

Well, yes I do... but it's not as bad as it sounds. We have two separate garage doors so there is enforced separation. I don't think it would ever occur to her to make a sharp right turn after entering the garage!

mine sleeps outside pretty often, considering half the time I stay places that don't have a garage. parking outside won't hurt a thing as long as you are protected from the flying doors of other cars...
