I'm lucky enough to have an 1100 sq ft 3+ car garage so my Fleetwood gets to share it with our other 2 cars one of which is a '98 Deville which I guess would be the bitch if there were a relationship going on when the lights are out. :alchi:

I sadly have to say that mine lives outside also. My wife drives it to work every day.

My garage is occupied with 2 1957 Chevys, so It doesnt even know what the garage smells like.
I dont cover it either, only if im not going ot drive it for a while or something. taking the cover on and off all the time wouldnt work out well.

I have a unique situation. I have a garage at home and an underground garage stall at work. So the Brougham never sits outside. And in the winter, the underground garage is nice because the temps hover around 65 degrees or so, so I can keep all our cars clean throughout the winter. There's a nice area set up for car washing, with all kinds of supplies and a vacuum, etc. I'm very grateful.

Once the house is paid for I'm building a 3 bay garage that will include a portable lift in one bay. It kills me to leave cars outside, especially my 89. But I have no choice right now.

Attached, small, two car garage. Concrete floor. '80 Hearse and '89 Brougham barely fit. Both undercoated, even though they're not going anywhere for the winter. Helps keep surface rust off the undercarriage, I find. I have a thin plastic 3M car cover over the '89 to keep off the dust, but couldn't find one big enough for the hearse, so it is covered with 3 quilts. :highfive:

At home, outside, and sometimes under a cover, but now most of the time being at school, it's in a big open parking lot 24/7...:bigroll:

Outside... :( I have plans for a 2 1/2 stall heated garage next year. But for this year, it will have to suffer outside. Oh well, looking forward to next spring! :)

Mine stays outside under a cover. However, this week it is in a storage unit because I am driving the '78 Eldorado Biarritz CE.

Some of you may remember my battle with the town when I wanted to have a small shed built in one corner of our property. That's when some clot said the building I'd ordered from Lowes didn't have a 90mph wind load rating. Thus I could have taken all the crap that sits in the garage (Mower, Genset, Leaf Blower, Wood chipper, extra camping chairs, SnowBlower, etc.) and put it in the shed so the FWB would have a nice, snug home.
But such was not to be so the FWB sits in the driveway, usually under cover,
HOWEVER,
Today I pulled the car cover off and - since it had been raining for many days here in West Hartford, CT - I found the entire car looked like a glass of icewater on a hot day.
Now I'm really in a pickle. I do not trust that cover to breathe as well as advertized and the condensation that was formed all over the car, wherever the cover wasn't actually touching it, scares me due to the likelihood of this forming corrosion.
So, it looks like I'll go for a TANDEM garage (not enough lot width) if I can't get the shed built by someone willing to fight City Hall.

Wow, I thought I had a large 3+ car garage at 768 sq. ft. :eek:
That's gotta be more like a five or even six car garage!

Anywho, I built my garage extra deep so that I could park my Caprice and Fleetwood (prime examples of big cars) in there and still have plenty of room to walk circles around it and still have cabinets against the back wall.

some of you guys with the whole garage thing are incredibly lucky... my dad's '93 gmc sierra and '07 CTS take the garage, so sadly, I'm doomed to park outside... when his CTS is gone for a couple days I get that fat brougham in there

Sadly mine has to sit outside until we build an addition onto our garage. We just bought our house and the Caddy doesnt fit in the garage! its 2 friggin inches too long! I could fit it in if I was willing to bump into the back of the garage every time and hit the door on the side to get out but no thanks, she'll just be parked outdoors for awhile.:(

Mine 1987 Brougham either sits in a storage garage about 10 min from my house. When it is here at home it is in the garage. I have 6 collector cars so I am always moving something. Since I own my own business I am trying to lease a space which would have an office in front and a warehouse in back for tha cars. I am just waiting for my current office lease to expire
