LOL Taz! Right now an old VW bus that we are restoring for a customer and a Harley Night train and a freakin go kart! Believe me, I am NOT a happy camper! There is always an excuse why I can't keep her in there, plus he is a Mopar guy, he hates Chevy. Now you know how much work I put in to keeping her clean inside and out. She is outside all year round, all weather, my daily driver. It sucks! Cant even put up a portable carport on the side of the house, that is where the snowmobiles are....covers can only do so much.

My wife's not a car person. She'd rather have her Harley back. BUT!!! We moved everything out of the garage this last fall. EVERYTHING work bench, rolltop tool box, cabinets, shelves, Lawn tractor. buckets, cleaning suppies. Everything was in the driveway. Then in our 3 car garage we put the Chevelle the Monte Carlo thenher Cobalt. We bought a shed from menards for about $950.00 well worth the $$$. Now the lawn tractor and anything that isn't for the cars is in the shed. it's 8 X 12. Only thing i don't have in there is a work bench. BUT!! Move one car out. Put 8 milk crates together a piece of ply wood. WOW! I have a work bench. Cause we don't want our cars in any kind of bad weather. I lost a 1993 Super coupe Thunderbird to hail damage, That;s never going to happen again. There are options to this for you.. Like I said my wife isn't a car girl at all. But she's Cool with it & understand my love for Hot Rods & Harley. Hey 8 yrs ago I had a 3 car garage. Only thing in that garage was 2 BIG HARLEY"S My roll away tool box a fridge, a tv. A radio, window A/C and a work bench 4 ft by 8 ft. NOTHING else was ever allowed in there. No kids toy's bikes lawn EQ. Nothing but them Harley's At $15,00+ each. Nothing touched them bikes but our BUTTs. Now thing have changed a bit. You can fig this out. Don't give up. Thats too much work to go theu everytime. let me know what you come up with.

Lisa it doesn't get any better then that ! Just looking at your car in the last picture its FANTASTIC looking CAR ! Pat yourself on the back. And for a car thats a daily driver OMG!! .... YOU DESREVE EVERY BIT OF THAT AWARD. After all the HARD work you put into it everyday. To keep it in that shape! Looks like it came right out of the showroom.

Thanks! BUT I NEED HER IN A GARAGE!

Well, I think another month of cruises etc., then that will be it for this year. Not looking forward to winter and her being out there. So hard keeping her up. More mods over the winter and into spring.

I cant believe that car is a daily driver either. You put alot of work into it keeping it looking good that is for sure.
