Driveway vs Garage Owners

vipor · 12-15-2009, 04:53 PM

We have 2 reserved parking spaces at my gf's townhome. I reverse in and she pulls in so our passenger doors are facing each other and we can pull as close as possible.

We know the neighbor that parks next to me and they're very nice and love my car, so I think I'm safe

Garaged EVERY single day!

Hmmm...rephrase, asking for weather concerns in New York... not security.
(In terms of security, ofcourse the garage is the best bet.)

I would say you are fine. A little snow wont hurt it and it won't be beaten down on by the sun really...

I have a garage, but other cars occupy it, the Z stays outdoors except when its undergoing an upgrade.

My baby is happy in her little home. Wouldn't like to leave here in the cold.

Car hobby starts with a garage. Get the garage first, then the car, then all the tools...then the cabinets, then the carts, then the...

Never ending process.

Put that stinky Vette outside and garage the Z!

I have a two car garage and because my wife is a level 1 hoarder, we couldn't fit two skateboards much less a car in there! But I'm in Cali so it's only the sun that kills our cars as opposed to blizzards and sh!t.

A decent car cover FTW.

I have no garage and by the time I probably have one, we will be looking at the 400Z or whatever they come up with next.

I live in the Philly area and get quite the weather extremes on both ends of the spectrum, I have never really had a problem but I'm also used to never garaging a car.

I would just get it now, trust me, once you have it you will be thanking me, I thought about waiting until Spring myself.

It's not a lambo, don't sweat leaving it outside, bfd.

My four car garage has never had a car in it. It is full of big tools, cabinets, parts and lots of miscellaneous stuff. I'm trying to find a way to squeeze the Z in.

Yea my garage was full of arcade and pinball machines. Its amazing how quickly a hole was made when I bought the 370Z. A day after I bought the 240Z there was room for two cars. Now that I've got the 280ZX I dreaming of building my next house/garage.... or is that garage/house.... hmmm.... dang - and I just finished building this one.... maybe I should get a jackhammer and shovel....

kannibul hit everything on the nose. anyway BUY the Z, rent a garage, life is too short

For what it's worth, I live in Phoenix and bought my 370 on an all-day rainy day (toweled off after getting it home, of course) and that night we had the worst rain/wind storm I've seen in central AZ in the 10 years I've been in these parts... trees felled, tons of sideways water and sh!t blown from other yards... I just kept thinking thank GAWD it's in my garage and not outside at the dealership!! Gave my girl a good home just in the nick of time.

Not to scare, but even in Phoenix we can get bad hail sometimes, and REALLY bad hail can actually total a car. Something to consider.
