Where does your car sleep? - 03-10-2010, 02:19 AM

I have put up this poll on two other sites and have gotten pretty much the same results. In order to avoid skewing the results here, I won't say until I've gotten some responses.

So....where does your car sleep at night? Mine is in the garage, every night and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Even sometimes I, in a moment of what could only be described as pure sanity, question the rationality of this obsession.

My vehicles are stored in a climate controlled building it cost very little to heat in the winter when you compare it to running the engine to warm it and defrost the windows.
What i save in gas will heat the building besides it is nice to get in a warm car and push the button for the garage door and drive out.

Don't need a snow brush.

I have a heated garage that's kept at 45 during the cold months, and at 55 when I wash the cars during winter.

I wouldn't buy a nice car if I didn't have a garage to keep them.

My classic is in the garage on body stand not to flat spot the tires or compress suspension. The wife has to park outside due to all the chemicals, washer and spare parts in the garage. The work van and trailer have outside storage with a cover. She is ok until the summer with it getting over 110 here. I still have time

I did think that the pink bows was a tad much


True story, the wife was given a set of antenna balls for every holiday in the year. The pink one for Valentines day, some how fell off the car, and we don't know where

I'll give it back to her later

Most of the time I park in the driveway, sometimes when my car sees a lot of use it's on the gravel road in front of the house. But since some leaking bag of douche with a maroon 97-02 Mitsubishi Mirage decided to hit my car on the street and not bother to stop and say he was sorry two weeks ago Friday...



...I will be parking in the driveway until I have the $1045 saved up to build a nearly enclosed carport. So I voted "driveway".
