Do you garage your car?

I currently do garage my car, but may need to move to a place that won't have that option.

I'm pretty **** about my car, so if I can't garage my car I would have to store it and buy a beater. Or sell it. But I really love this thing (05 G Coupe). Selling would be hard, especially with all the time I put in it since time of purchase to get it looking/driving factory fresh.

Opinions? Thoughts? I'm more worried about someone snatching my rays or hail damage more than anything else.

I don't garage my cars, for lack of a garage. What sort of circumstances would you be living in? That's the thing to look at as to stealing your stuff. I'm in a country club subdivision, so that's unlikely for me. As to weather damage, it could happen when you're out driving, so that's kind of luck of the draw. Main reason I'd like to have mine under cover is because tree pollen and offal eat the wax off it in the spring. I just deal with it, end up doing FK1000P every few weeks for two months a year.

I would if i had a garage but unfortunately i go to school in CO i throw on my car cover as much as i can but with high winds up here its nearly impossible to keep on...

in the summer hail comes and they cause a ton of money worth of damage cause everyone on base gets smoked by it and USAA is forced to pay up...
so i throw a thick blanket under my car cover in the summer

just gota work with what you got but i dont think its worth selling your G

I am still trying to get the garage at my parents place and i have a corolla kicking my butt. But i can't complain since i am not paying rent. But i do get the garage on the night before a show. What this means for you is that your going to have to wash your car every week and wax it a lot more. Don't sell you G! just make sure you have a wheel lock on every lug.

I can't imagine not having a garage, it would drive me nuts.
