Garaged at home, exposed at work - 5 days a week. It's my daily driver, not a garage queen.

Garage at home. I park outside when I drive it. I would be afraid of parking it in my apartment's parking lot without the garage

When I get my own place whether or not its a condo or house it will need to have a garage with enough room for tools and to work on the vette when need be

My vette [C6 06] is a garage queen that is covered and protected by a BIG Dodge Ram p/u, just in case. Way toooooo much $$$ to have her outside with all those bad birds around...

Garaged at work, driveway at the house, 3-car garage, only two cars can fit (see my photo/profile, the Caddy goes inside) due to too much storage, tool box, weight bench, bicycles, etc... Next house will have a bigger garage, or I may get the wifey a larger SUV that cannot fit .

Garaged in summer - outside in the winter under a cover. Car has to be cleaned anyway when it wakes up from 3 month nap.
But then again, I drive mine more than I clean it which isn't true for some people on this forum (not a knock just a statement).

Outside always.... but beware of the lexan top delaminating due to excessive sun exposure (kinda like a vette sunburn) in Hawaii
