Default Carport Queens ??

OK fact is I know we're not all blessed with the fully outfitted 3 car garage. In fact I figure some of us have to keep our Jewels in a *gasp* Carport..OK chicken coops and outdoors qualifies too I guess

Here's the deal, for something a little different than the usual multitude of garage queens that we see all the time, maybe we could display some of those GORGEOUS outdoor Carport Queens..

I'll start with my new Baby

cheers Gang

I keep mine in a partially enclosed carport, I really wish I had a garage and plan to move at some point. There is a neighborhood cat that loves to come by and jump on my car and use it as a playground when it rains. I am currently thinking of ways to deter it from visiting. For the winter months (November thru late March) I have a fully enclosed car bubble that I drive the car over and zipper around the perimeter to seal off ambient moisture. During this time I pull the battery, swap my stock wheels on and put my insurance in "storage mode" (thanks Geico &#128518. I am planning on moving within 2 years and will put a garage on the top of my list of wants.

My house had a carport when I bought it, but running a side biz out of a small (well, tiny; 8 x 12) workshop attached to the back of the carport just didn't work. So I spent some time one year and enclosed it. The car came long after enclosing the carport, so no pic's of it in there...
First pic after building my retaining wall and getting the grass in order early on.
Second picture mid-February this year when I put the car on the road.
