I'm anal about my car, and I've had it for months.

I've been like that with both of my Tegs, this one just for a longer period of time.

Parking your car in the driveway is a carnal sin, if you don't have a garage, build one, and heat it, and seal the floor, and fill it full of tools and spare plugs and brake components. You know the saying that behind every good man there is a great woman, well behind every good car is a great garage.

trust me, i'd love to have a garage, but seeing as i rent an apartment, it's out of the question. at least i can park in the driveway, and don't have to park out on the street.

i'm pretty sure my landlord would evict me immediately if i set up one of those garages.

also, no rust on the car (knock on wood).. it's all about maintenance. :thumbup:

yeah, i don't park in a garage either. we have a 2 car garage and no one parks in there. too much of my g-parents junk. filipino pack rats. the worst. lucky for me that we have a 4 car driveway, otherwise i'd probably be in the street.

I use a 4 car, the only thing that i park outside is my boat. I am moving soon, and the new place only has a 2 car, but the shed should be big enought for my boat, and if it's not we'll have to park my girlfriends ford probe outside if she doesn't like it, then her study turns into my game room (can't fit the pool table in the theater )
