Default Garage??

How many of the C6 population do not have a garage for their car on a regular basis? I do not have a C6 (yet) but my C1 lives outdoors.

Mine sits in her spot in the garage with a cover. I can't imagine letting her sleep outside.

As my car is an "it", is rain and weather proof, and local permit idiots won't let me build a garage, the vette lives happily under a shelter built for such things. Can't remember the brand, but metal framework and weatherproof cover bolted to concrete slab.

"It" has not complained yet.

No garage here. But I keep mine in a 10'x20' storage unit. It might not be heated but it's a shelter, none-the-less.

I could understand a C6 living outdoors, but how can you stand letting a C1 live outdoors? Those cars aren't very weather-tight.

2 08's in the garage and 1 '00 out to keep the wifes car company. I thought about rotating but the most expensive stay inside. Currently building a 26 x 34 detatched garage just for my stuff so the wife can get her side of the garage back. I only hear the bitch'n when it's cold (not often) and/or raining and she has to go out in it.

Default Mine

Mine shares garage with 07 TBSS, 03 Yukon, and a Bass boat. One stall goes all the way throught to an overhead door at the rear. I can keep the Yukon and Bass boat or duck boat hooked up in that stall. Ready for a quick morning hunting or fishing exit without disturbing the neighbors banging around and connecting up a boat trailer in the dark.

I don't like having any of my cars to sit outside, so even my M3s are garaged. No matter how small/crappy the garage is (had to cut out the garage ceiling)

Same for my wife so I built a new garage for the Vette and Harley.
24 by 24, 12-6 ceilings, epoxy floor, plastic carwash walls, heat, air, water, cable, phone,all the comforts the car needs. But she doesnt complain now!

Same here....20x10 rental. I tried the car cover to save $$$$$, but nothing beats the real thing. Paid $$ in full ( 10 months rent...12 months rental ) can't beat it.
