Storage
 
Anyone else have to store theirs outside? I assume a few of you (at least) do, and I'm thinking of buying a cover. Thoughts?

I'd suggest about a 15 X 10 cover. Brick, shingled roof, with a remote operating door. HVAC would be great too.

That would be a little more expensive than the $200 Mazda cover though.

All kidding aside, I'm sure there are a lot of people who keep the car outdoors. Routine washing and waxing should keep the paint looking great for years to come.

yeah
 
i'd totally get a little gazebo to keep it under, but i don't think the condo board would allow that. problem is, my reserved parking spot gets tons of direct sunlight every afternoon it's there, and i also park it outside when i go to work (and under trees no less, argh). . .

Mine lives outside. Gets washed once a week (if the weather cooperates) and waxed twice a month.

I'd rather it had a garage but I'm not about to put a cover on it and draw even more unwanted attention.

hmmm. . .
 
. . .unwanted attention. Good point. Maybe I'll reconsider the cover.

I keep mine outside... I wash it once a week, and wax it twice a month... I also keep it covered for the most part.

about not putting a cover on it is the freakin' geese where i live.
