Where does everyone store their car??
Where does everyone store their ride during winter???(if you store it at all)
I found a barn by me, but the guy doesnt answer his phone. I have a buddy who will let me store my car down on the Marquette Campus on 17th and Wells. Secured, heated underground parking for like $75 a month. That seems a little high though.

My parents are cool and they're letting me keep the IROC in the garage for the winter. I'm so glad I get to store it this winter.

I take my rims off, slap some old tires on, park it behind my house with a car cover and a car port that I have to go out and beat the snow off. Fun times.

Pepsicola, check out the BCM boards. Do a search for storage, a couple of guys have made mention of places for about half of what you're looking at.

out or in hte best way to store it is to buy yourself a carcoon at www.carcoon.com best car cover made.
I am lucky in that I have family that has a huge garage, so I store my Camaro/Other car in the garage w/ the rims off on jack stands, all drained out w/ the cover on. The only probelm is that I am about 2,000 mi. south of where I live right now, oh well.

I've got it apart for some rust repairs right now, and I'm already thinking about the next time I want to take it off the road for a week so I can install my Alston SFCs and Spohn LCAs.
