Mine is sleeping at the dealership ... [:@] Damn, mechanics are probably messing with my radio again when they should be working on my car ...

When not at the dealership my car sleeps outside in the cold ...

Both MC's now sleep in the garage. The F-150 now sleeps outside. Had a heater in the garage, but never insulated it and the wife read somewhere that heating a garage causes the corrosion from road salt to be like 50% worse on your car(WTF?) So after that, my plans to heat it were pretty much over, so I sold the heater. All you married guys know that sometimes it's easier to just give up on something, than to argue about it forever, LOL. Wish it was heated, because now that winter is here Roxanne looks awful cold with only the car cover to keep her warm, LOL. Hope to put a woodburner in and insulate it in the next couple of years, though.

well ur wife is actually right...not only does heat speed up the corrosion process that the salt causes (gotta love winter) but below a certain temp (i cannot remember the temp) the "salt" used by many states will notoxidize the metal of your car...one of the good things about the cold

Mine sleeps in the driveway until I go up to school then it will sit in the Wyotech dorm parking lot. This is the first winter this car will see since the PO babied it its whole life, which explains the 34000 miles.

Mine's in our two-car garage 365 days a year. I'm really lucky (so far) in that my wife lets me drive her 02 PT Cruiser Limited (27K miles) when the roads are crappy, as they have been for a week around here. Until recently, she assumed that the SS was rear wheel drive, so that may change. [&o]

My Betty has to chill in the drive way with three other micro cars that belong to my German neighbors. We moved here to Germany for the next four years becuase of the AirForce. She won't fit into the stupid garage we have let alone be able to open the door and get out. I can't believe the amount of other Montes I see over here though. I'll make sure and let them know about this site.

In an enclosed carport with a car cover.Makes it easier to keep clean after the high winds,snow flurries,etc.
